CONTINUAL CLAIM - Black's Law Dictionary

What is CONTINUAL CLAIM? Definition of CONTINUAL CLAIM in Black's Law Dictionary - Legal dictionary - Glossary of legal terms.

In old  English law.  A formal claim  made  by a party entitled to enter upon any lands  or tenements, but deterred from  such entry by menaces, or bodily  fear, for the purpose of preserving or keeping alive his  right. It was called  "continual," because it was required to be repeated once in the space of every year and day. It had to be made as near to the land as the party could  approach with  safety, and,  when  made  in due form, had the same effect with, and in all respects amounted to, a legal  entry. Litt.  §§ 419- 423; Co.Litt. 250a; 3 Bl.Comm. 175.
