4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
SURCHARGE, chancery practice. When a bill is filed to open an account,
stated, liberty is sometimes given to the plaintiff to surcharge and falsify
such account. That is, to examine not only errors of fact, but errors of
law. 2 Atk. 112; 11 Wheat. 237; 2 Ves. 565.
2. "These terms, `surcharge,' and `falsify,'" says Mr. Justice Story, 1
Eq. Jur. Sec. 525, "have a distinct sense in the vocabulary of courts of
equity, a little removed from that, which they bear in the ordinary language
of common life. In the language of common life, we understand `surcharge' to
import an overcharge in quantity, or price, or degree, beyond what is just
and reasonable. In this sense, it is nearly equivalent to `falsify;' for
every item, which is not truly charged, as it should be, is false; and by
establishing such overcharge it is falsified. But, in the sense of courts of
equity, these words are used in contradistinction to each other. A surcharge
is appropriately applied to the balance of the whole account; and supposes
credits to be omitted, which ought to be allowed. A falsification applies to
some item in the debets; and supposes, that the item is wholly false, or in
some part erroneous. This distinction is taken notice of by Lord Hardwicke;
and the words used by him are so clear, that they supersede all necessity
for farther commentary. `Upon a liberty to the plaintiff to surcharge, and
falsify,' says he, `the onus probandi is always on the party having that
liberty; for the court takes it as a stated account, and establishes it.
But, if any of the parties can show an omission, for which credit ought to
be, that is, a surcharge, or if anything is inserted, that is a wrong
charge, he is at liberty to show it, and that is a falsification. But that
must be by proof on his side. And that makes a great difference between the
general cases of an open account, and were only [leave] to surcharge and
falsify; for such must be made out."
