DE EJECTIONE CUSTODIAE

De ejectione custodiae is a Latin term that means "ejectment of a ward." It refers to a writ that was available to a guardian who had been ejected from the ward's land during the ward's minority. This writ was used to recover the land or person of the ward, or both.

An example of de ejectione custodiae would be if a guardian was taking care of a piece of land for a minor, and someone else came and kicked the guardian off the land. The guardian could then use the writ of de ejectione custodiae to try to get the land back for the minor.

Another example would be if a guardian was taking care of a child, and someone else took the child away from the guardian. The guardian could then use the writ of de ejectione custodiae to try to get the child back.

These examples illustrate how the writ of de ejectione custodiae was used to protect the interests of minors who were under the care of a guardian. It allowed the guardian to take legal action to recover the land or person of the ward if they were wrongfully ejected from it.
