Sequestration

Read a random definition: declaration under § 15

A quick definition of Sequestration:

Sequestration: Sequestration is a legal process where property is taken away from someone until a court decides who it really belongs to. This can happen when there is a dispute between people who claim ownership of the property. Sequestration can also be used to take goods from someone who is bankrupt or who has disobeyed a court order. During a trial, sequestration can also mean keeping the jury members or witnesses separate from each other to make sure they only talk about what they saw or heard, and not what other people told them.

A more thorough explanation:

Sequestration is a legal term that refers to the process of taking away property from someone while a dispute over ownership is being resolved in court. It can also refer to the seizure of goods from someone who has gone bankrupt or who has disobeyed a court order.

For example, if two people are fighting over who owns a piece of land, a court might order that the land be sequestered until the dispute is resolved. This means that neither person can use or sell the land until the court decides who the rightful owner is.

Sequestration can also refer to the isolation of jury members or witnesses during a trial. This is done to make sure that they are not influenced by outside factors and that they only testify to what they personally observed.

For example, if a witness is going to testify in a trial, they might be sequestered so that they cannot talk to other witnesses and potentially change their story. Similarly, if a jury is going to decide a case, they might be sequestered in a hotel so that they are not influenced by news reports or other people's opinions.
