Simple Definition
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".
The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.
