Tn the civil law. An action of tutelage. ACTIO (or INTERDICTUM) UNDE VI.

In the civil law. An action or interdict which lay to recover possession of an immovable thing, as land, of which one had been deprived by force. So called from the formal words in it, — unde tu Ulum vi dejecisti, from which you have ejected him by force. Gaius, Inst. iv. 154; Inst. 4. 15. 6; Dig. 43. 16. It resembled the modern action of ejectment, and is adopted by Bracton in his system of actions. Bracton, fol. 103b.
