	Writ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While originally writs were exceptional, or at least non-routine devices, Maitland suggests that by the time of Henry II, the use of writs had become a regular part of the system of royal justice in England.
		A writ was a summons from the Crown, to the parties in the action, with on its back the substance of the action set out, together with a 'prayer', which requested a remedy from the court (for example damages).
		Writs applied to claims that were to be issued in one of the courts that eventually formed a part of the High Court of Justice.
