A quick definition of ne injuste vexes:
NE INJUSTE VEXES: A legal term that means "do not trouble unjustly." It refers to a writ that prohibits a lord from demanding more services from a tenant than what is allowed by their agreement.

The tenant cannot avoid the lord's possession, but can use this writ to establish the right of property by reducing the services to their proper standard.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Ne injuste vexes (nee in-jəs-tee vek-seez), n. [Law Latin “do not trouble unjustly”] is a historical writ that prohibits a lord from demanding more services from a tenant than the tenure allowed.
Example: The writ of ne injuste vexes lies where the tenant in fee-simple and his ancestors have held of the lord by certain services, and the lord hath obtained seisin of more or greater services, by the inadvertent payment or performance of them by the tenant himself.
Explanation: This means that if a tenant has been paying or performing certain services for their lord, and the lord demands more than what was originally agreed upon, the tenant can use the writ of ne injuste vexes to prohibit the lord from demanding more than what is allowed. This writ helps to establish the rightful services owed by the tenant to the lord and prevents unjust demands from the lord.
