Recital (law)

Recital (law)

In Law, a recital (from the Latin word "recitare", meaning: to read out) consists of an account or repetition of the details of some act, proceeding or fact. Particularly, in law, that part of a legal document--such as a lease, which contains a statement of certain facts--which contains the purport for which the deed is made.
