A quick definition of levari facias:

Levari Facias: A legal order that tells a sheriff to take a person's things and money until they pay back what they owe. It's like when a parent takes away a toy until their child behaves. This order is mostly used in Delaware. It's similar to another legal order called Fieri Facias. There are different types of Levari Facias orders depending on the situation, like when someone is kicked out of their land or when the sheriff can't sell the debtor's property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Levari facias is a legal term that means "that you cause to be levied." It refers to a writ of execution that orders a sheriff to seize a judgment debtor's goods and income from lands until the judgment debt is satisfied. This writ is now used mainly in Delaware.

Example: If a person owes money to someone and refuses to pay, the creditor can obtain a judgment against the debtor. If the debtor still does not pay, the creditor can request a levari facias, which will allow the sheriff to seize the debtor's property and income to satisfy the debt.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a levari facias can be used to enforce a judgment against a debtor who refuses to pay. The writ allows the sheriff to take the debtor's property and income to satisfy the debt owed to the creditor.

Related terms: Fieri facias is another type of writ of execution that orders a sheriff to seize a debtor's property to satisfy a debt. However, it differs from levari facias in that it allows the sheriff to sell the property seized to satisfy the debt.
