The forms of action were the different procedures by which a legal claim could be made in the early history of the English common law. While in modern English law, as in most other legal systems, the focus is on the substance underlying an action, such as the existence of a legal right, in the early Middle Ages, the focus was on the procedure that was used, while the substantive law underlying that procedure came second. In other words, it is the ''form'' of action that was important and not the cause of action as now. ==Forms== English law knew a number of forms of action: * writ of right * assize of novel disseisin * assize of mort d'ancestor * writ of entry sur disseisin in the per and cui * writ of besaiel * writ of quare impedit * action of covenant * action of debt * action of detinue * replevin * trespass * assumpsit * ejectment * action on the case * scire facias 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Form of action」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
