A quick definition of ouster:

Term: Ouster

Definition: Ouster is when someone is wrongfully kept out of a property, especially if they are a co-owner. This can happen if the locks are changed, signs are put up saying they can't enter, or if they are physically stopped from going onto the property. Ouster can also mean removing someone from a position of power, like a boss or a politician. An "ouster clause" is a rule that says a judge can't review a decision made by a government or organization. This rule is not used in the United States, but it is used in other countries that have similar laws to the United Kingdom.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ouster is a legal term that refers to the act of wrongfully excluding someone from a property or position of power.

  • If a person changes the locks of a property to prevent a co-tenant from entering, it is considered an ouster.
  • When a corporate or public official is unseated from their position of power, it is also an ouster.
  • An "ouster clause" is a clause in a law that limits or prevents judicial review. This is not a feature of the American legal system, but it is used in other common law legal systems.

The examples illustrate how ouster can occur in different contexts. In property law, ouster happens when someone is wrongfully excluded from a property, such as when a co-tenant is denied access to a property. In the context of power, ouster happens when someone is removed from their position of authority, such as when a public official is unseated. An ouster clause limits or prevents judicial review, which means that a court cannot review or challenge a decision made under that law.
