de estrepamento

n. [Law Latin "of enstrepment"] Hist. A writ to prevent waste by a tenant while a suit to recover the land is pending against the tenant. 0 Because this writ was only auxiliary to a real action to recover land, and because equity afforded the same relief by injunction, the writ fell into disuse and was abolished by 3 & 4 Will. 4, ch. 27. - Also termed writ of estrepement. See ESTREPEMENT.
