ABATEMENT

chancery practice, is a suspension of
all proceedings in a
suit, from the want of proper parties capable of
proceeding therein. It
differs from an abatement at law in this, that in
the latter the action is in
general entirely dead, and cannot be revived, 3
Bl. Com. 168 but in the
former, the right to proceed is merely suspended,
and may be revived by a
bill of revivor. Mitf. Eq. Pl. by Jeremy, 57,
Story, Eq. PI. 354.
