forisfacta

forisfacta
Lands and goods whereof the property is gone away or departed from the owner; that is, which have been forfeited to the king for offenses. The underlying reason for such forfeitures appears to be that since the individual has derived his property from society, as a right conferred upon him in exchange for the natural freedom which he relinquishes as a member of society, it is just that for good cause the state should resume the property which the laws had assigned to him. See 1 Bl Comm 299.
