This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
If you own personal property that someone else is holding onto without permission, you may be able to get a court order called a writ of replevin. This order forces the other person to hand the property back to you while your case is still going on, instead of making you wait until the end of the lawsuit.
To get this kind of order, you have to meet the general requirements that apply to all writs under Rule 64A. On top of that, you need to prove two specific things. First, you have to show that you are the one who has the right to possess the property. Second, you have to show that the other person is wrongfully holding onto it, meaning they have no legal right to keep it from you.
This rule is often used for things like disputes over vehicles, equipment, or other physical items where getting the property back quickly matters more than waiting for a final judgment. The court will look at your evidence to decide whether you truly have the better claim to possess the item before ordering the other side to give it up.
