Legal Definitions - ejectment bill

Definition: An ejectment bill is a legal document used in equity practice to recover real property and an accounting of rents and profits. It does not need to set out a distinct ground of equity jurisdiction, which means it can be demurrable.

Example: John owns a piece of land that he rented out to Sarah. However, Sarah has stopped paying rent and refuses to leave the property. John can file an ejectment bill to recover the property and any unpaid rent.

Explanation: In this example, John is using an ejectment bill to recover his property and any unpaid rent from Sarah. The bill does not need to provide a specific reason for the jurisdiction, but it must show that John has a legal right to the property and that Sarah is in violation of that right.
