4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
REQUEST, contracts. A notice of a desire on the part of the person making
it, that the other party shall do something in relation to a contract.
2. In general when a debt exists payable immediately, the law does not
impose on the creditor to make a request of payment. But when by the express
terms of a contract, a request is necessary, it must be made. And in some
cases where there is no express agreement a request is also requisite; as
where A sells a horse to B to be paid for on delivery, a demand or request
to deliver must be made before B can sustain an action; 5 T. R. 409; 1 East,
209; or, it must be shown that A has incapacitated himself to deliver the
horse because he has sold the horse to another person. 10 East. 359; 5 B. &
A. 712. On a general promise to marry, a request must be made before action,
unless the proposed defendant has married another. 2 Dow. & Ry. 55. Vide
Demand.
3. A request, like a notice, ought to be in writing and state
distinctly what is required to be done without any ambiguous terms. 1 Chit.
Pr. 497, 498.

5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
REQUEST, pleading. The statement in the plaintiff's declaration that a
demand or request has been made by the plaintiff from the defendant, to do
some act which he was bound to perform, and for which the action is brought.
2. A request is general or special. The former is called the licet
saepius requisitus, (q.v.) or "although often requested so to do;" though
generally inserted in the common breach to the money counts, it is of no
avail in pleading, and the omission of it will not vitiate the declaration.
2 Hen. Bl. 131; 1 Bos. & Pull. 59, 60; and see 1 John. Cas. 100. Whenever it
is essential to the cause of action, that the plaintiff should have
requested the defendant to perform his contract, such request must be stated
in the declaration and proved. The special request must state by whom, and
the time and place when it was made, in order that the court may judge of
its sufficiency. 1 Str. 89, Vide Com. Dig. Pleader, C 69, 70; 1 Saund. 33;
2 Ventr. 75; 3 Bos. & Pull. 438; 3 John. R. 207; 1 John. Cas. 319; 10 Mass.
R. 230; 3 Day's R. 327; and the articles Demand; Licet saepius requisitus.
