Definition of ac etiam
Definition: In common-law pleading, ac etiam means "and also." It was used to introduce a genuine claim in a case where a fictitious claim had to be alleged to give the court jurisdiction. This phrase directed the court to the real cause of action. For example, if someone was suing for trespassing, but also had a debt owed to them by the defendant, they would use ac etiam to add the debt claim to their case. This ensured that the court had jurisdiction over both claims and could make a ruling on them.
