A quick definition of de vasto:

Term: DE VASTO

Definition: De vasto is a legal term that refers to a writ used to hold a tenant responsible for any damage caused to the property or inheritance of the landlord. This writ is used by a reversioner or remainderman to compel a tenant for life or for years to appear and answer for the waste and resulting damage to the plaintiff's inheritance. In simpler terms, it is a legal document that allows a landlord to hold their tenant accountable for any damage they cause to the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: De vasto (dee vas-toh), n. [Law Latin “of waste”] A writ allowing a reversioner or remainderman to compel a tenant for life or for years to appear and answer for the waste and resulting damage to the plaintiff's inheritance. See WASTE (1).

Example: John owns a piece of land and leases it to Mary for 10 years. During the lease, Mary cuts down all the trees on the land, causing damage to the land and reducing its value. After the lease ends, John can use the writ of de vasto to sue Mary for the damage she caused to his inheritance.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the writ of de vasto can be used to protect the rights of a reversioner or remainderman. In this case, John is the reversioner, and Mary is the tenant for years. Mary's actions caused damage to John's inheritance, and the writ of de vasto allows John to hold Mary accountable for her actions.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
