All right guys lets make this a good one. we only have 45 days.

I was able to find a couple of things first the definition of periculum

Pe`ric´u`lum n. 1. (Rom. & O.Eng. Law) Danger; risk.

2. In a narrower, judicial sense: Accident or casus, as distinguished from dolus and culpa, and hence relieving one from the duty of performing an obligation.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, published 1913 by C. & G. Merriam Co.

Periculum rei venditae, nondum traditae, est emptoris. The purchaser runs the risk of the loss of a thing sold, though not delivered." 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 939; 4 B. & C. 941; 4 B. & C. 481

periculum in mora: There is danger in delay

periculo petentis (p< >-rik-y< >-loh p< >-ten-tis). [Latin] Hist. At the risk of the person seeking. Black's Law Dictionary (2008).

Historically, a private person was liable in damages for a judicial warrant wrongfully issued at that person's insistence. For Example,"a creditor seeking a warrant for the apprehension of his debtor as in meditatione fugae, obtains it periculo petentis, and he, not the judge, will be liable in damages if the debtor can show that the obtaining of the warrant and the using of it were illegal." John Trayner, Trayner's Latin Maxims 454 (4th ed. 1894).

Article Main:

The Periculum Doctrine is a legal doctrine originating from English Common law. The English System of law developed two different court systems. Courts of Law and Courts of Equity, if someone could not seek a remedy at law they would often go to the courts of equity to seek a remedy there. In feudal times, it was almost impossible for an impoverished serf’s to maintain a cause of action in law against a rich and powerful feudal lord. Equity blossomed as the “poppers court"--gaining momentum and popularity among the commoners. Most notably in actions of “foreclosure” where defaulting tenants sought equitable “redemption” from equitable courts to keep their tenements. As surfs were granted remedial measures such as the equitable right of redemption, the feudal lords cast a jaundice eye upon the equitable courts, using their means to dismantle and disrupt equitable proceedings; cutting of surfs from the justice they sought. Feudal lords prayed for a boon from the king to put pressure on the religious chancery judges to mend their erring ways--disrupting a lords right to foreclose on "his" property was considered immoral. Further such remedies threatned to dismantal the cast system by allowing surfs to own property. It soon became obvious that equitable courts would not survive without a “modification” of equitable remedy. Chancery court justices would be given valuable chattels (bribes) if the justice would side with the feudal lords defense. A common equitable defense was the periculum doctrine. The periculum doctrine was developed by the chancery courts of equity and provided a way of “dismissing” cases where it could be argued that the person seeking a remedy was not entitled to receive one because the individual knew the risk and possible consequences of their actions and proceeded to perform an act that brought upon their injury. For example, a feudal lord would bring a cause of action against a serf arguing, for example, that because a tenent could not be found on his property, for even a day, he was said to have "day-faulted" (defaulted). Showing contempt for his land by abondoning it, the lord would argue, the tenent, knowing of the possibility of day-fault, brought this action upon himself. As the doctrine gained popularity amount rich Feudal lawyers, there was no end in site of the defenses applicability. One of the most classic uses of the periculum doctrine was to deny bastards an inheritance. The judges reasoned that since the law only provided inheritance for children born in marriage that the bastards decision to be born out of wedlock prohibited any equitable inference: in essence recognizing that the bastard brought the situation on himself.

Although the periculum doctrin could be used as a cause of action, the doctrine developed most notably into a equitible defense.

Bla bla bla...

The periculum docterine lingers today, embeded in the legal concepts of:

Statue of limitations where a plaintiff is allowed a limited amount of time in which she can bring a claim before she losses it. The plaintiff is presumed to know the law, and if she fails to bring the claim, the plaintiff has brought the loss of the cause of action upon herself.

Excessive Expectation:

Rape: a woman is presumed to have provoked the attack, enjoying every last gready moment.
