Meaning of Levari facias

(Lat. that you cause to be levied). In Practice. A writ of execution directing the sheriff to cause to be made of the lands and chattels of the judgment debtor the sum recovered by the judgment.

Yet the same course is pursued upon a fi. fa. 2 Bums, Ecc. Law, 329. See 2 Tidd, Prac. 1042; Comyn, Dig. “Execution” (C 4) ; Finch, Law, 471; 3 Bl. Comm. 471. In American Law.
