A quick definition of grand distress:

Grand distress is a legal term that refers to the seizure of someone's property to make them fulfill a duty, like paying overdue rent. It is a way to pressure the owner to fix a problem or satisfy a demand. The property seized is called distraint. In the past, grand distress was used to force someone to appear in court. It is important to note that the seizure must be reasonable and moderate, and the goods must be returned once the duty is performed or the demand is satisfied.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Grand distress is a legal term that refers to the seizure of someone's property to ensure that they fulfill a duty or pay an overdue rent. It is a legal remedy that authorizes the seizure and the procedure by which it is carried out.

Example: If a tenant fails to pay their rent, the landlord may use grand distress to seize their property until the rent is paid.

This example illustrates how grand distress is used to ensure that a duty, such as paying rent, is fulfilled. The landlord seizes the tenant's property as a pledge to bring pressure to bear upon the tenant to pay the rent.
