DE ESTREPAMENTO

de estrepamento (dee e-strep-<<schwa>>-men-toh), n.[Law Latin “of enstrepment”] Hist. A

writ to prevent waste by a tenant while a suit to recover the land is pending against the tenant. •

Because this writ was only auxiliary to a real action to recover land, and because equity afforded

the same relief by injunction, the writ fell into disuse and was abolished by 3 & 4 Will. 4, ch. 27.

— Also termed writ of estrepement. See ESTREPEMENT. [Blacks Law 8th]
