| In the manor courts, actions of debt, detinue, and covenant were frequent. |
| The use of the action of trover gradually supplants the action of detinue, which involves compurgation. |
| Some older, and largely obsolete, property law concepts include detinue, replevin, and trover. |
| An action for debt ordered that a specific sum of money be returned to the plaintiff, while an action for detinue ordered the defendant to surrender certain chattels. |
| He is also being sued by the companies for trespass, conversion and detinue, and for monies had and received to the use of the companies. |
