		IT is common for claimants in Italy to serve a writ of summons against ship agents as representatives of owners/carriers in the ports called by the vessel.

		Thus, it was concluded that the writ of summons, and the whole proceeding, was held to be void.

		Although this writ is idiosyncratic by comparison with later standardised writs of summons it explicitly embodies the requirement that the knights shall have full powers and it implies that at least one of their functions is to carry local information to the central government.
		If we had only the writs of summons we would be obliged to assume that the principal function of parliament was politics, the great business of the king and kingdom which could mean whatever the king wanted it to mean at the time.
		The writs of summons to parliament usually state that the assembly is being held so that the king can discuss with his magnates and others the great business of the king and kingdom.

		Nonetheless, we say the analogy is exact because these are all writs of summons, they are phrased in a particular way and it is the incidents of those writs and what one needs to do by way of response to those writs which is critical to the argument that we advance.
		The issue of the writ is a sine qua non, which is why it was felt necessary for the House to invite the monarch to issue a writ of summons to someone who was entitled to receive it.

		The statement of claim of the Plaintiff was relied upon in amplification of the endorsement of the writ of summons and to argue that the purpose so indicated has any relationship with the claim, which is the determination of the seaward boundary of littoral states.
		Analysis of the writ of summons and statement of claim and the trend of the action appears to justify the criticism.
		The endorsement on the writ o summons and the averments in paragraphs of the statement of claim demonstrate unequivocally the academic nature of the claim in the writ of summons, and the lack of bona fides of the Plaintiff in respect of the claim.

		In the Convention Parliament of 1660 some objection was taken to the earl sitting in the House of Lords, and in 1661 he was not summoned to parliament; he had not succeeded in obtaining his writ of summons when he died on the I4th of March 1674.
		The House of Lords declared that he was not a peer and therefore not so entitled, but the court of king's bench released him from his imprisonment on the ground that he was the earl of Banbury and not Charles Knollys a commoner.
		However, in 1806 Thomas Woods's son William (1763-1824), who attained the rank of general in the British army, asked for a writ of summons as earl of Banbury, but in 1813 the House of Lords decided against the claim.

		My Lord, whether one can use the words "writ of summons" in effect, the people who chose to use that terminology, the first people to use what the noble Lord the Lord Chancellor called "arcane peerage law", were the Government in their bill.
		The only importance of calling it a writ in acceleration is that it prevents anybody coming along in many years' time trying to say there was a further barony created by writ when my Lord Lord Cranborne took his seat in 1992, to show it was the same peerage.

		When the holder of a title died, his (or more rarely her) heir would apply for a Writ of Summons to attend Parliament as part of the course of asserting their right to the peerage.
		Complications arose when a serious doubt existed about the legitimacy of the claim, for example where the claimant was not a direct descendant, there was uncertainty about the legitimacy of a marriage or there was more than one claimant to the title.
		To call a peerage out of abeyance or assert a claim where right may be under dispute, the claimant had to apply to the Crown for the receipt of a Writ of Summons.
