Definition: Deforcement is the act of keeping someone from their property or money by using force or detaining it unjustly.
For example, if someone refuses to give back a piece of land that rightfully belongs to another person and uses force to keep them from taking it, that is an act of deforcement. Another example is if a creditor withholds money from a debtor without a valid reason and by using force, that is also an act of deforcement.
