custodia legis

custodia legis
/kastowdiya liyjas/ In the custody of the law. Doctrine of "custodia legis" provides that when personal property is repossessed under writ of replevin, property is considered to be in custody of the court, though actual possession may be in either of the parties to the replevin action, and that property remains in custody of court until judgment in replevin action finally determines whether replevining party or prior holder is entitled to possession. Brunswick Corp. v. J & P, Inc., C.A.Okl., 424 F.2d 100, 102. This doctrine is nothing more than a practical "first come, first serve" method of resolving jurisdictional disputes between two courts with concurrent jurisdiction, and, under such doctrine, court that first secures custody of property administers it. Coastal Production Credit Ass'n v. Oil Screw "Santee", D.C.Ga., 51 B.R. 1018, 1020
