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.
