Writ

That "person" is typically either a sheriff (who may be instructed to seize property, for example) or a defendant (for whom the writ is the first notice of formal legal action. In these cases, the writ would command the person to answer the charges laid out in the suit, or else judgment may be made against them in their absence).
Cases
General term for an action, cause, suit, or controversy, at law or in equity; questions contested before a court of justice.
Issues
