Dig. 50. 16. 92.
SUR (French). Upon. In the titles of real actions, "sur" was used to point out what the writ was founded upon. Thus, a real action brought by the owner of a reversion or seigniory, in certain cases where his tenant repudiated his tenure, was called "a writ of right sur disclaimer." So, a writ of entry sur disseisin was a real action SUR cur IN VITA. A writ tliat lay for the heir of a woman whose hnsband had aliened her land in fee, and she had omitted to bring the writ of mi m vita for the recovery thereof, in which case, her heir might have this writ against the tenant after her decease.
