A quick definition of namation:

Definition: Namation is an old English term that refers to two things. Firstly, it means the act of taking someone's property as a way of enforcing a debt or obligation. Secondly, in Scots law, it means impounding or seizing someone's property. It can also be called namatio.

A more thorough explanation:

Namation is a historical term that means the act of taking someone's property as a way of punishing them for not paying a debt or breaking a law. It was used in Old English and Scottish law.

  • When John didn't pay his rent, the landlord had the right to perform namation and take his belongings until he paid what he owed.
  • In Scotland, if a farmer's animals were found wandering on someone else's land, the owner of the land could perform namation and impound the animals until the farmer paid a fine.

These examples show how namation was used as a way of enforcing the law and making sure people paid their debts. It was a serious consequence for those who didn't follow the rules.
