Formedon

old Engl. law. The writ of formedon is nearly obsolete, it having been superseded by the writ of ejectment. Upon an alienation of the tenant in tail, by which the estate in tail is discon- FOR EE estate displaced, and turned into a mere right, the remedy is by action eS of formedon, (secundum forman doni,) because the writ comprehends the form of the gift. This writ is in the nature of a writ of right, and the action of formedon is the highest a tenant in tail canhave. This writ distinguished into three species; a formedon in the descender, in the rematnder, and in the reverter.
