两个术语均指以往法院根据有关债务诉讼或损害赔偿之诉的判决等所签发的一种执行令状，原告可自行选择申请其中之一。elegit为“动产取得令”，其本意为“he has chosen”，指债权人可根据此令状取得债务人的所有动产（牛和用作畜力的牲畜除外）以清偿债务，如此种取得仍不足以使债务得以清偿， 债权人还可占有债务人一半的租有地并获得土地的收益直至债务清偿为止（该令状现已被废除）[1]。而writ of fieri facias (或 fieri facias)则为“动产扣押令”，其本意为“you cause it to be done”，指由法院司法执行官对债务人的动产予以扣押和拍卖以清偿债权人债务之令状，基本等同现在的writ of execution [2]。由此可知，elegit和writ of fieri facias之间的主要差异便在于前者是授权由债权人“自行”取得或占有债务人的财产，而后者则是由授权由“他人”，即法院的执行官员对债务人的财产进行的扣押。
[1] "By it the defendant's goods and chattels were appraised and all of them ( except oxen and beasts of the plow) were delivered to the plaintiff, at such reasonable appraisement and price, in part satisfaction of his debt. If the goods were not sufficient, then the moiety of his freehold lands，which he had at the time of the judgment given，were also to be delivered to the plaintiff, to hold till out of the rents and profits thereof the debt be levied, or till the defendant's interest be expired." Cf. Joseph R. Nolan, Black's Law Dictionary，5th edition, at p. 467, St. Paul Minn. West Publishing Co. (1979).
[2]“Judicial writ directing sheriff to satisfy a judgment from the debtor's property. In its original form, the writ directed the seizure and sale of goods and chattels only, but eventually was enlarged to permit levy on real property, too. Largely synonymously with modern writ of execution. " Cf. The Publisher's Editorial Staff, Black's Law Dictionary, abridged 6th edition, at p. 433，West Publishing Co. (1991 ).
