casu consimili
[Latin "in a like case"] Hist. A writ of entry allowing the holder of a reversionary interest to take possession of land alienated by a life tenant. 0 This writ originated in the Statute of Westminster 2 (13 Edw. ch. 24 (1285)), which expanded the writs available to litigants by authorizing the Chancery to issue a writ for any situation that called for a writ similar to one that had previously issued casu consimili ("in a like case"). Many other writs were framed under Westminster 2, but this particular writ's close association with the statute led to the term's becoming generic. - Also termed consimili casu; entry in casu consimili.
