Term: DETACHIARE
Definition: Detachiare is a legal term that means to take someone or something by force using a legal order called a writ of attachment. This is done when someone owes money or has broken the law and their property needs to be seized to pay off debts or as punishment.
A more thorough explanation:
Detachiare (di-tak-ee-air-ee or di-tash-ee-air-ee), verb. [Law Latin] Historically, it means to seize a person or property by a writ of attachment or other legal remedy.
1. In the 18th century, a creditor could detachiare a debtor's property to satisfy a debt.
2. The sheriff was authorized to detachiare the defendant's bank account to pay for the damages awarded to the plaintiff.
These examples illustrate how detachiare was used in the past to describe the legal process of seizing a person or property to satisfy a debt or legal obligation. It was a common practice in the 18th century and earlier, but today, there are different legal remedies available to creditors and plaintiffs.
