A reipersecutory action is one for the recovery of property. The term derives from the Latin res, rei meaning 'thing'. These are distinct from compensatory actions which seek to compensate for the value of the thing.

So, if someone has your watch and you want that watch back you would bring a reipersecutory action, but if you just wanted the value you would bring an action for compensation.

As an example, a reipersecutory action in Roman law would be the vindicatio, by which the owner could recover property from other parties. I give Roman law as an example because it is still widely studied and without knowing your jurisdiction it is impossible to give a localised example.
