Sequestration, or isolation, refers to the practice of separating individuals or groups from others to prevent the spread of disease or to protect sensitive information. This method is often used in public health to control outbreaks, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, where individuals were isolated to reduce transmission. In legal contexts, sequestration can involve isolating assets or evidence to ensure they are not tampered with during a trial. This process helps maintain the integrity of the legal proceedings and ensures that all parties have a fair opportunity to present their case without interference.
