Self-Help
Securing a claim on one's own authority.
Within narrow limits, a person may exercise self-help to secure a claim if official assistance cannot be obtained in time and, without immediate intervention, enforcement would be frustrated. Acting on one's own authority outside these limits is not permitted.
