A quick definition of warrant to sue and defend:

A warrant to sue and defend is a written permission given by someone to their lawyer to start or defend a lawsuit on their behalf. It's like giving your lawyer a special power to act for you in court. In the past, the Crown (the government) would also give a special warrant to someone to appoint a lawyer to sue or defend on their behalf.

A more thorough explanation:

A warrant to sue and defend is a written authorization given by a client to a lawyer to commence or defend a lawsuit. It can also refer to a special warrant from the Crown that authorizes a party to appoint an attorney to sue or defend on their behalf.

Example 1: John hires a lawyer to represent him in a lawsuit against his former employer. He signs a warrant to sue and defend, giving his lawyer the authority to file the lawsuit and represent him in court.

Example 2: Mary is a landowner who wants to defend her property rights in court. She obtains a warrant to sue and defend from the Crown, which allows her to appoint an attorney to represent her in the lawsuit.

These examples illustrate how a warrant to sue and defend is a legal document that grants authority to a lawyer or attorney to act on behalf of a client in a lawsuit. It is an important tool for ensuring that clients have legal representation and can protect their rights in court.
