Term: Liberate
Definition: Liberate is a legal term that refers to different types of written orders given by a court to release someone or something. For example, it can be a written order to release a prisoner who has paid bail or to deliver property that was taken as a bond. It can also be a writ to a sheriff to give lands or goods to the plaintiff in a commercial trade loan arrangement. If the debtor fails to fulfill their obligation, the creditor can obtain a writ of extent, which directs the sheriff to take action.
