PROROGATED JURISDICTION, Scotch law. That jurisdiction, which, by the
consent of the parties, is conferred upon a judge, who, without such
consent, would be incompetent. Ersk. Prin. B. 1, t. 2, n. 15.
2. At common law, when a party is entitled to some privilege or
exemption from jurisdiction, he may waive it, and then the jurisdiction is
complete; but the consent cannot give jurisdiction.
