Replevin

Read a random definition: ad hoc

A quick definition of Replevin:

Replevin is a legal action that helps people get back their things that were taken away from them without permission. It can be used by banks to take back things that were used as collateral for loans when the borrower doesn't pay back the money. Replevin can also be a court order that allows the rightful owner to take back their property.

A more thorough explanation:

Replevin is a legal action that allows someone to get back their personal property that has been taken or held by someone else without permission. This can happen when someone doesn't pay back a loan that was secured by the property, or when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them.

For example, if someone borrows money from a bank to buy a car and then stops making payments, the bank can file a replevin action to take back the car. Or, if someone takes a valuable piece of jewelry that belongs to someone else, the owner can file a replevin action to get it back.

Replevin can be ordered as a final judgment, which means that the court has decided that the property should be returned to its rightful owner. In some cases, replevin can also be ordered as a provisional remedy, which means that the court allows the owner to take back the property while the case is still being decided.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
