  A Writ is a type of peremptory precept and ecclesiastical indulgence first formed under English law in the 13th Century issued under the proper authority of the Monarch to an officer, agent or subject to perform or cease some act or attend court and answer some claim or controversy. The word writ is derived from the Latin word rite meaning “with the proper formality of ritual; duly performed properly or rightly in the usual manner”.  
     
  What is a Writ?  
  As a precept issued under the authority of a monarch, a writ is a rule or teaching principle especially directed towards the personal conduct of one or more persons, that of itself does not create any new universal law nor grant any particular permanent right. The word precept coming from the Latin praecipere meaning “to teach, admonish or direct”.  
  As a peremptory instrument from a monarch, a properly authorized issued writ is not subject to debate, appeal and is considered absolute, decisive, conclusive and final. The word peremptory coming from Latin peremptus meaning “to destroy, to prevent or kill”.  
  As an ecclesiastical indulgence, a writ by its very name and nature from its origin is an absolute and precise instrument that must conform to the strictest standards to be considered valid. As an indulgence (from the Latin word indulgeo meaning “to be kind to; to concede; to cede to”) a writ must conform to the Canons of the Roman Cult that first formed the concept of indulgences as a means of salvaging (and monetizing) sin through the ritual (sacrament) of penance. Therefore, the creation of a valid writ has always needed to demonstrate not only original authority from the monarch, but the presence of a petition or confession, prayer for relief and then the writ itself as the personification of the sacred remittance.  
  Given the sacred nature of a writ as a proper indulgence, the creation and issuance of writs has always been at the hands of those bestowed the ecclesiastical powers claimed by the Roman Cult for the forgiveness of sins and writing of indulgences known as Prothonotary Apostolic, or simply “Scrivener Notaries” (Scrivener coming from the Latin words scribo meaning “scribe” and venea meaning “indulgence”).  
  Despite the exclusive claims of the Roman Cult, there is no sacred scripture that denies one who possesses the authority of an Apostolic Mendicant Minister cannot also issue valid writs. Therefore, one who is sovereign over their own domain and demonstrates the virtues defined by the true meaning of the word “sovereign” absolutely has the right to issue writs under the Great Seal of their Estate.  
     
  Prerogative writs  
  A writ may be originally issued by a competent authority duly granted such a right under appointment by letters patent and administered according to one or more statutes. Such writs permitted to be issued by a competent authority in accordance to one or more statute are traditionally called Prerogative Writs in honor of such instruments being granted according to “Royal Prerogative” of the Sovereign.  
  In all other cases of writs, especially if no statute exists defining the nature, purpose and procedure for issue of a writ, such writs must originate from the Sovereign to be valid.  
  The high honor to originate writs defined by statute has traditionally been vested in the highest court of England and Great Britain known by tradition as the Curia Regis or “court of the King” or simply the “King’s Bench”. In all, there have been several dozen “prerogative writs” created over the centuries. However, the most famous of these are:  
  Writ of Summons  
  Writ of Mandamus  
  Writ of Certiorari  
  Writ of Habeas corpus  
  Writ of Prohibitio  
  Writ of Procedendo  
  Writ of Quo Warranto  
  Writ of Scire Facias  
  Writ of Coram Nobis  
  While the Kings Bench and duly authorized agents have historically been granted the power to issue prerogative writs, such authority to issue original writs has never properly extended to writs “invented” by the Kings Bench or officers of Executive Government. Only the Sovereign has ever retained the power to issue original writs not defined by statute.  
     
  What a Writ is not  
  Despite the clear historic elements defining what is a writ, most contemporary definitions of Writs, especially those found in legal dictionaries are deliberately contrary to the form defined by custom, statute and history.  
  A writ is not an order – it is an absolute command, that cannot be challenged. An order by its legal and commercial meaning is an offer, which may be negotiated. Whereas a writ, by definition is not negotiable. Therefore, any definition which states a writ may be defined as an order is patently false.  
  A valid and legitimate writ by its very nature is an ecclesiastical instrument requiring precise creation and purpose. To simply call an instrument a writ and act as if it possesses the same qualities as a legitimate writ without the attendant care, authority or creation is a most grave injury to the heart of Western and Roman Law.  
  The Curia Regis (Kings Bench) have the right to appoint one or more agents under validly signed and sealed warrants. However, such persons have no right legally or lawfully to issue writs unless they themselves are also appointed under Letters Patent from the Sovereign. If such persons are not appointed to their position under direct authority of the Monarch, then any writs they issue are ipso facto (as a fact of law) null and void.  
  It is why corporations and agents cannot create valid writs. Nor may a nation issue such writs unless the Executive claims absolute sovereign authority in the capacity of General Executor and “elected monarch”.  
  Laws that have been passed that attempt to permit the issuing of writs by corporations or agents without proper authorization of the Monarch are an abomination and contrary to the very source of authority of writs. Such documents therefore issued have no more legal or lawful effect than an offer or notice. The enforcement therefore of such instruments as if they are writs is without question illegal and unlawful – contrary to very foundations of Western and Roman Law.  
  The fact that it is now commonplace for corporations to issue a wide variety of writs not defined by statute by persons not duly commissioned to issue writs to agents who have no right to enforce such instruments is indicative of the rapid collapse of Western and Roman Law.  
     
  Why then issue prerogative writs?  
  There is no question if one demonstrates the requisite level of competence in completing and recording their will, the appointment of the General Executor and the creation of their Great Seal, they may demonstrate in accordance with Western and Roman Law that they are masters of their own domain.  
  Whether or not corporate agents comply is another question. This then is the purpose of the use of prerogative writs.  
  The writs outlined in the following sections are not exact statute derived writs – they cannot be. They are variations of writs of right – an essential writ whereby the General Executor as both Sovereign of their own domain and the most senior cleric of their own church has the absolute right to enforce their rights in commanding those who engage in business of their estate to comply. The choice of the prerogative writs is reflection of the existence of the laws of the estate in the form of the recorded will and testament as well as the historic and general familiarity of the function of such writs.  
  Yet, the purpose of the writs is simple and clear – does remedy still exist within Western and Roman Law, or has the rise in corruption, incompetence and destruction of essential principles caused the complete collapse of any form of remedy and therefore Western Law itself?  
  It is possible then, that some may find some remedy – as there still exists good and competent people in law that recognize the legality and lawfulness of the writs presented in the following sections. Then again, there is likely to be many who face the same kind of incompetence and injury of law that is evidence across the Western world in the rapid decline and collapse of legitimacy of claimed rule of law.  
  In the end, the foundations being completed by Ucadia of a comprehensive system of law will be completed by 2012. These pages may or may not provide some assistance in the meantime.
