A quick definition of petit:

Petit means small or minor in Law French. It is also used in the term petit cape, which is a writ for the recovery of land issued after the appearance of the tenant in the action. This is different from the grand cape, which is a writ granting possession of land before a tenant's appearance in the action. Both writs are used to recover possession of land.

A more thorough explanation:

Petit is a legal term that comes from the Law French word "minor" or "small." It is often used in the context of land ownership and recovery.

  • Petit Cape: This is a type of writ used to recover possession of land after the appearance of the tenant in the action. It is also known as "cape parvum."
  • Cape Magnum: This is another type of writ used to grant possession of land before a tenant's appearance in the action. It is also known as "magnum cape" or "grand cape."

These examples illustrate how the term "petit" is used in the legal context of land ownership and recovery. The "petit cape" is a specific type of writ used in this context, while the "cape magnum" is another type of writ that serves a similar purpose.
