EVENT

In reference to judicial and quasi judicial proceedings, the “event” means the conclusion, end, or final outcome or result of a litigation; as, in the phrase “abide the event,” speaking of costs or of an agreement that one suit shall be governed by the determination in another. Reeves v. McGregor, 9 Adol. & El. 576; Benjamin v. Ver Nooy, 168 N. Y. 578, 61 N. E. 971; Commercial Union Assur. Co. v. Scammon, 35 111. App. 660. Eventus est qui ez causa sequitur; et dicitur evexttus quia ez causis evenit. 9 Coke, 81. An event is that which follows from the cause, and is called an “event” because it eventuates from causes Eventus’ varios res nova semper ha bet. Co. Litt. 379. A new matter always produces various events.
