A quick definition of cape:
A cape is a legal document used to recover possession of land. There are two types of cape: the grand cape and the petit cape. The grand cape is used before the tenant appears in court, while the petit cape is used after the tenant appears. The grand cape summons the tenant to answer to the default and to the demandant, while the petit cape only summons the tenant to answer to the default. The word "cape" comes from Latin and means "take".
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A legal writ used to recover possession of land.
Examples:
- Cape magnum: A writ that grants possession of land before the tenant appears in court.
- Cape parvum: A writ for the recovery of land issued after the tenant appears in court.
These examples illustrate how a cape is a legal document used in land disputes. The cape magnum is used when the tenant has not yet appeared in court, while the cape parvum is used after the tenant has appeared. Both types of cape are used to recover possession of land.
