sequestration (sh)




In law, a writ authorizing a law-enforcement official to take into custody the property of a defendant in order to enforce a judgment or to preserve the property until a judgment is rendered.

In some civil-law jurisdictions, contested property may be deposited with a third party until it is determined to whom it properly belongs.
