Ejectment is premised on a legal fiction known as "casual ejector", designed to circumvent some of the limitations of the old English court system. A legal action in ejectment creates a fictional stipulation of fact which allows the case to be tried within the jurisdiction of the English Court of King's Bench rather than the English Court of Common Pleas. A disadvantage of Common Pleas at first was that precedents made the selection of diverse Real Actions too difficult, and therefore the ejectment, with its fiction, was eventually welcomed as a means of simplifying and consolidating many real actions.
