A writ of attaint is an obsolete writ in English law , issued to inquire whether a jury had given a false verdict in a trial. In criminal cases, the writ of attaint was issued at the suit of the Crown, and in civil cases at the suit of either party. The correctness of the verdict would be determined by a body known as the grand jury of attaint. This panel, consisting of twenty four members, was twice the size of a normal trial jury. The party bringing the attaint could introduce only the same evidence that was originally given at trial while the jury whose verdict was questioned was allowed to present new matter. If it were found that an erroneous verdict had been given, the wrong was redressed, and the original jury was punished. The punishment inflicted was quite severe at the common law, the judgement was 1. That they should lose their liberam legem , and become for ever infamous. 2. That they should forfeit all their goods and chattels. 3. That their lands and tenements should be seised into the king s hands. 4. That their wives and children should be thrown down. 5. That their trees should be rooted up. 6. That their meadows should be ploughed. 7. That their bodies should be cast into Prison gaol ref Blackstone, Sir William. Commentaries on the Laws of England. ref However, during the reign of Henry VIII of England Henry VIII , Parliament passed an act reducing the punishment to perpetual infamy and a fine. In criminal cases it appears to have become obsolete by the end of the 15th century.

By constitutional convention political custom convention , the head of state grants the request and issues a writ of election for a new parliament. The head of state usually has the right to refuse the request, in which case the prime minister is required by convention or statute to resign. For example, in the case of a minority government, the head of state can deny the request for dissolution and ask the leader of another parliamentary party to form a government. In some cases, such as with the President of Ireland , there are specific limitations on when a head of state can refuse this request.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A writ of execution is a court order granted in an attempt to satisfy a monetary Judgment law judgment obtained by a plaintiff . When issuing a writ of execution, a court typically will order a sheriff or other similar official to take possession of property owned by a judgment debtor . Such property will often then be sold in a sheriff s sale and the proceeds remunerated to the plaintiff in partial or full satisfaction of the judgment. It is generally considered preferable for the sheriff simply to take possession of money from the defendant s bank account. If the judgment debtor owns Real estate real property , the judgment creditor can record the execution to freeze the title until the execution is satisfied. Generally, execution is unnecessary for defendants who pay verdicts against themselves voluntarily. However, some defendants ignore judgments against them, and thereby force plaintiffs to employ writs of execution to actually enforce judgments. In the United States, not all asset s are subject to execution. For example, Social Security United States Social Security income that resides in a bank account is exempt from a levy on a debtor s bank account. Many states also protect an Individual Retirement Account IRA from execution as well as unemployment income, but the amount that is exempt may be limited.
