A compulsory nonsuit is a nonsuit ordered by the court on the ground that the plaintiff on his own showing has not made out his case.
The sort of law dispensed by this fire-eating judge might be easily conceived even without the aid of such an anecdote as the following: "A nonsuit was never heard of in his time.
That was made at nisi prius in answer to a motion for a nonsuit in an action brought for an infringement of a patent right.
The motion did not merit any consideration, as the federal court had no power to grant a nonsuit against the will of the plaintiff in any case.
Judges ought to lean against every attempt to nonsuit a plaintiff on objections which have no relation to the real merits.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "nonsuit" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: affidavit; allegation; bill; claim; complaint; declaration; deposition; libel; statement
