Wikipedia
Acceptilation
Acceptilation is the application of the Roman law principle of acceptilatio in modern Scots law regarding obligations, whereby a creditor verbally acknowledges a verbal obligation as having been discharged, even though it has not been directly performed, by accepting that some other performance or payment than had originally been specified is sufficient to extinguish the obligation. It is considered a satisfaction of an obligation, rather than its performance. The payment or performance accepted can be merely imaginary, making it a way to cancel payment of a debt by stating that it has been discharged.
Webster Dictionary
Acceptilationnoun
gratuitous discharge; a release from debt or obligation without payment; free remission
Etymology: [L. acceptilatio entry of a debt collected, acquittance, fr. p. p. of accipere (cf. Accept) + latio a carrying, fr. latus, p. p. of ferre to carry: cf. F. acceptilation.]
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Acceptilation
ak-sept-il-ā′shun, n. (Roman and Scots law) the remission of a debt through an acquittance by the creditor testifying to the receipt of money which never has been paid—a kind of legal fiction for a free remission: (theol.) the doctrine that the satisfaction rendered by Christ was not in itself really a true or full equivalent, but was merely accepted by God, through his gracious good-will, as sufficient—laid down by Duns Scotus, and maintained by the Arminians. [L. acceptilatio.]
