This type of writ is commonly used to take property from an individual wrongfully in possession of it and return it to its rightful owner.
Procedure for Obtaining, in Court, a Writ of Replevin The filing of a complaint begins a replevin action. As in other civil actions, the defendant is brought into Court by the service of the summons and the complaint. If the plaintiff establishes the cause of action, the Court must enter an Order granting possession.
The Complaint: The complaint in replevin typically must include: (i) a description of the property to be replevied; (ii) its value; (iii) its location if known; and (iv) the material facts upon which the claim is based – in other words, why the filing party is entitled to seize the property that has been taken.
Creditors use replevin actions to recover collateral when debtors default on secured loans. For example, a bank might file a replevin action against a borrower to repossess the borrower's car after he missed too many payments.
The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.
Replevin is typically the first step when a plaintiff wants to get the property back from a defendant who wrongfully took it. Detinue is a legal action that is most often utilized when a person has possession of property that they should not have, such as when they default on a loan.
Detinue is an action to recover the wrongful detention of goods or possessions.
Alternative Legal Actions Other legal remedies may be more appropriate than a replevin action, depending on why the court denied the replevin action. These might include: An action for monetary damages. A claim for trespass to chattels, based on substantial interference with the use of your personal property.
Replevin is an action seeking return of personal property wrongfully taken or held by the defendant. In exchange for the personal property, the plaintiff in the action pledges a security and is allowed to hold the property until the case is resolved by the court.
Replevin lay to recover goods still held after a tender of amends. Detinue lay to recover lent goods where the holder refused to return them to the owner. However, the defendant was allowed to exculpate himself by oath, so this action was displaced by that of trover and conversion.
