A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Scire feci (sI-ree fee-sI) is a Latin term that means "I have caused to know." In legal terms, it refers to the sheriff's return to a writ of scire facias, indicating that notice was given to the parties against whom the writ was issued.

For example, if a court issues a writ of scire facias against a defendant, the sheriff will serve notice of the writ to the defendant. The sheriff will then file a return with the court, stating that he or she has "scire feci" or "caused to know" the defendant about the writ.

Another example is if a landlord wants to evict a tenant, the landlord may need to file a writ of scire facias to notify the tenant of the eviction proceedings. The sheriff will then serve notice to the tenant and file a return with the court stating that he or she has "scire feci" or "caused to know" the tenant about the eviction.

These examples illustrate how the term "scire feci" is used in legal proceedings to indicate that notice has been given to the parties involved.
