In the civil law. An action, or interdict which lay to recover possession of an immoveable thing, as land, of which one had been deprived by force. So called from the formal words in it, — unde tu illum vi dejecisti, (from which you have ejected him by force.) Gaius, iv. 164. Inst. 4. 16. 6. Dig. 43. 16. It resembled the modern action of ejectment, and is adopted by Bracton in his system of actions. Bract. fol. 103 b.
