- quod ei deforceat
- That he deforced him. The name of the writ authorized by the statute 13 Edward 1, c. 4, for persons whose lands had been recovered against them by default. It was not strictly a writ of right, but so far partook of the nature of one that it could restore the right to one who had been unwarily deforced by his own default. See 3 Bl Comm 193.
