Moby Thesaurus II by Grady Ward, 1.0
INTERDICT, civil Among the Romans it was an ordinance of the praetor, which
forbade or enjoined the parties in a suit to do something particularly
specified, until it should be decided definitely who had the right in
relation to it. Like an injunction, the interdict was merely personal in its
effects and it had also another similarity to it, by being temporary or
perpetual. Dig. 43, 1, 1, 3, and 4. See Story, E Jur. 865; Halif. Civ. Law,
ch. 6 Vicat, Vocab. h. v.; Hein. Elem. Pand. Ps. 6, Sec. 285. Vide
Injunction.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
INTERDICT, OR INTERDICTION, eccles. law. An ecclesiastical censure, by which
divine services are prohibited either to particular persons or particular
places. These tyrannical edicts, issued by ecclesiastical powers, have never
been in force in the United States.
