Elizabeth Lockie, spouse to Dr. Paton, pursues a reduction of a disposition, granted, by her husband, to certain persons, as prejudicial to her contract; in which contract there was a clause, declaring execution to pass at the instance of certain persons, who concur with this pursuit.
The Lords sustained the pursuit, though it was not for implement, but for reduction of a right, impeding the benefit of the contract, without concourse of the husband, seeing the process was against a deed of the husband's, and he called passive.
