Ejectione firmae

Definition of Ejectione firmae

Ejection, or ejectment of farm. The name of a writ or action of trespass, which lay at common law where lands or tenements were let for a term of years, and afterwards the lessor, reversioner, remainder-man, or any stranger ejected or ousted the lessee of his term, ferme, or farm (ipsum a firma ejecit). In this case the latter might have his writ of ejection, by which he recovered at first damages for the trespass only, but it was afterwards made a remedy to recover back the term itself, or the remainder of it, with damages. 3 Bl.Comm. 199. It is the foundation of the modern action of ejectment.
