Ne admittas is a Latin term used in Ecclesiastical law. It refers to a writ that prohibits a bishop from admitting another party's clerk to be a parson of a church. This writ is usually used in a quare impedit action, which is a legal action to enforce the right to propose a clerk to the position of parson of a vacant church. If a party believes that the bishop will admit another person's proposed clerk before the quare impedit action concludes, they can use the ne admittas writ to prevent this from happening.
Ne admittas is a legal term that means "that you admit not" in Latin. It is a writ used in Ecclesiastical law to prohibit a bishop from admitting another party's clerk to be a parson of a church, usually in a quare impedit action.
For example, if a party wants to propose a clerk to the position of parson of a vacant church, they have the right of advowson. If they believe that the bishop will admit another person's proposed clerk before the quare impedit action concludes, they can use the ne admittas writ to stop the bishop from doing so.
Another example is if a party has already instituted a quare impedit action to enforce their right of advowson, but the bishop is still considering admitting another person's proposed clerk. In this case, the party can use the ne admittas writ to prevent the bishop from admitting the other person's clerk.
