A quick definition of de statuto stapulae:

Term: DE STATUTO STAPULAE

Definition: De statuto stapulae is a legal term that refers to a writ used to seize the property of and imprison a person who fails to repay a commercial debt. It is also a bond for commercial debt that gives the lender a possessory right in the land of a debtor who fails to repay a loan. This type of bond was popular after 1285 and allowed the borrower to charge their land and goods without giving up possession. If the borrower failed to pay, the lender became a tenant of the land until satisfied. The borrower remained in possession of their land under a statute or recognizance, and it later became a common practice under the common-law forms of mortgage to allow the mortgagor to remain in possession as a tenant at will or at sufferance of the mortgagee.

A more thorough explanation:
