A quick definition of de warrantia chartae:

Term: DE WARRANTIA CHARTAE

Definition: De warrantia chartae is a legal term that refers to a writ allowing a tenant who was enfeoffed with a warranty to compel the feoffor to assist the tenant with a plea or defense, or else to pay damages and the value of the land if it is recovered against the tenant. This writ was used in cases where the tenant could not call upon the warranty in an assize or other action. It is still used today in the form of common recoveries, which are grounded on a writ of entry. In assises, where the tenant's title is weak, the tenant may bring a writ of warrantia chartae against the warrantor to compel them to assist with a good plea or defense or render damages and the value of the land if recovered against the tenant.

A more thorough explanation:

De warrantia chartae (dee w-ran-shee- kahr-tee) is a legal term in Latin that means "of a warranty of charter." It refers to a writ that allowed a tenant who was impleaded in an assize or other action to compel the feoffor (the person who granted the land) to assist the tenant with a plea or defense, or else to pay damages and the value of the land if it is recovered against the tenant.

For example, if John grants land to Mary and warrants the title, and then Mary sells the land to Jane, who is later sued by a third party claiming ownership of the land, Jane can use the writ of de warrantia chartae to compel John to assist her with a plea or defense, or to pay damages and the value of the land if she loses the case.

This writ was used in the form of common recoveries, which were grounded on a writ of entry. In a writ of entry, the tenant vouches another person to warrant their title. If the tenant's title is weak, the voucher can be called upon to assist with a plea or defense. If the voucher fails to do so, they must pay damages and the value of the land if it is recovered against the tenant.

The examples illustrate how the writ of de warrantia chartae was used to protect tenants who were impleaded in an action and could not call upon the warranty. It allowed them to compel the feoffor to assist them with a plea or defense, or to pay damages and the value of the land if they lost the case. This writ was an important legal tool in medieval England and was used to protect tenants' rights and interests.

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
