A quick definition of deforcement:
Deforcement is when someone keeps land or property from the true owner by using force or detains a creditor's money unjustly and forcibly. The person who does this is called a deforciant. It can also refer to withholding property from the true owner, or seizing goods to satisfy a debt.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Deforcement is the act of keeping someone from their property or money by using force or detaining it unjustly.
For example, if someone refuses to give back a piece of land that rightfully belongs to another person and uses force to keep them from taking it, that is an act of deforcement. Another example is if a creditor withholds money from a debtor without a valid reason and by using force, that is also an act of deforcement.
These examples illustrate how deforcement involves using force or unjust means to keep someone from what rightfully belongs to them. It is a violation of their rights and can lead to legal action being taken against the deforciant.
