Term: IRREPLEVIABLE
Definition: Irrepleviable means that property cannot be taken back by legal action. It is not possible to replevy it. This term was also spelled as irreplevisable in the past. It is the opposite of repleviable.
Definition: Irrepleviable (i-rə-plev-ee-ə-bəl) is an adjective used to describe property that cannot be replevied, or taken back by legal action. It is also sometimes spelled irreplevisable.
Example: If a person borrows a car and then refuses to return it, the owner may take legal action to replevy the car. However, if the car has been sold to a third party, it becomes irrepleviable.
Explanation: This example illustrates the concept of irrepleviability by showing that once property has been transferred to a third party, it cannot be taken back by legal action. The new owner has legal rights to the property, and the previous owner cannot replevy it.
