ESTREAT Meaning and Definition

1. Estreat, as a noun, refers to a legal instrument that authorizes the enforcement or execution of a judgment against a person or their property. It is typically used in the context of a court order to collect a fine, penalty, or debt owed by an individual or organization. The document serves as evidence that the judgment has been recorded and must be executed by a specific authority, such as a sheriff or bailiff, to ensure compliance with the court's decision.

   As a verb, estreat means to enforce or execute a judgment by collecting the owed amount or seizing the debtor's property. This process involves the formalities of presenting the estreat document to the responsible authority and seeking their assistance in recovering the debt or fine. Estreat represents a legal mechanism for the court to ensure that judgments are enforced and that payments or penalties are duly made, contributing to the proper functioning and enforcement of the legal system.

   The term "estreat" has its roots in medieval English law, where it referred to the process of bringing a legal matter before a higher authority. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote the procedure of enforcing financial obligations through the aforementioned means. The usage of "estreat" remains primarily within legal and governmental contexts, as it pertains to the formal enforcement of judgments and obligations.
