Oblation (legal system)

Oblation is a legal term and describes the voluntary acceptance of a legal obligation or transfer of a legal title .

In the medieval "oblatio feudi", the so-called feudal commission, someone transferred his allod to property in order to place himself under the protection of a more powerful liege lord and then received it back from him as a fief .

One speaks of “oblatio litis” when someone takes on a legal dispute as a defendant without being the actual defendant, for example when conducting a lawsuit for a person under protection ( lege agere pro tutela ).
