Etymology: * Latin: campi partitio "division of a field" * Old French: champart "share of a field"
Origin: The term "champerty" originated in feudal England, where it referred to an illegal practice involving the purchase of land rights or interests by outside parties who had no previous connection to the land. These purchases were often made at a low price, with the expectation that the purchaser would profit by pursuing legal claims related to the land. The practice was seen as harmful to the rights of landowners and was prohibited by the Statute of Westminster II (1285).
Meaning: * Legal: A type of common law offense involving the unlawful maintenance or support of a lawsuit by a third party who has no legitimate interest in the case. * General: Today, champerty typically refers to any agreement in which a person or entity provides legal services or financial assistance to a party involved in a lawsuit in exchange for a share of the proceeds if the lawsuit is successful.
