Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

An action brought on a pretended light, when the plaintiff has no true cause of action, for some illegal purpose. In a feigned action the words of the writ are true; it differs from false action, in which case the words of the writ are false.

Co. Litt 361, § 689.
