APOSTLES. — In medieval canon procedural law, this was the name given to the letters that the lower judge had to transmit, within a fixed time, to the appellate judge, in order to inform him of the appeal that had been made and of the merits of the case (cf. c. 39, X, II, 28; c. 1, II, 12 in Clem.; etc.). The name, however, like the institution, derived from Roman law: cf. D. 49, 1, 1; 50, 16, 106; etc.
Several kinds of a. were distinguished: dimissory, delatory, reverential, refutatory, testimonial, conventional, repositorial, according to the different value attributed to the appeal.
The institution, in fact if not in name, remained in force, considerably mitigated, until the most recent times.
The CIC does not speak of a. at all, but in a certain way reproduces its substance in the institution of the prosecutio appellationis (cann. 1833 ff.), adhering indeed to the stricter discipline of Roman law, albeit simplified (v. APPELLO).
