A quick definition of si fecerit te securum:
Term: SI FECERIT TE SECURUM
Definition: This is a phrase from Law Latin that means "if he has made you secure." It was used as the beginning of a writ that ordered the sheriff to make the defendant appear in court after the plaintiff provided security. Sometimes it is spelled incorrectly as "se te fecerit securum."
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: If he has made you secure. These were the initial words of a writ ordering the sheriff, upon receipt of security from the plaintiff, to compel the defendant's appearance in court.
Example: If a person is suing another person, they may need to provide security to ensure that the defendant will appear in court. The writ would begin with the words "si fecerit te securum" to indicate that the plaintiff has provided the necessary security.
The example illustrates how the term "si fecerit te securum" was used in legal documents to indicate that a plaintiff had provided security to ensure the defendant's appearance in court.
