Edictal interdict is a legal term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to an injunction or other decree that prohibits, exhibits, or restores something. There are different types of interdicts, including:
For example, a possessory interdict can be used by a person in bad faith to establish whether they would be the defendant or the plaintiff in any subsequent claim. This type of interdict does not depend on title, but on possession.
Another example is a restitutory interdict, which can be used to restore something to someone who had been dispossessed of it. For instance, if a person was evicted from their home without due process, they could use a restitutory interdict to regain possession of their property.
