disseisin

Sixteen acts of novel disseisin were proved against Falkes de Bréauté.

Assize of novel disseisin was an action to recover lands of which the plaintiff had been “disseised” or dispossessed.

The question of "disseisin, or not," was a question of law, as well as fact.

We even find in the Mirror that the villains ought to have the assise of novel disseisin as a remedy in case of dispossession.

In this action, known as an action of disseisin or ejectment, both possession of the land and damages may be recovered.
