writ of debt

Read a random definition: attorney-client privilege

A quick definition of writ of debt:

A writ of debt is a legal document that helps a court decide how much money someone owes another person. Debt is when someone owes money to someone else, either because of an agreement or because of something they did wrong. There are different types of debt, like community debt that both a husband and wife are responsible for, or consumer debt that someone takes on for personal reasons. Some debts are secured, which means they have something valuable backing them up, like a house or car. Other debts are unsecured, which means there's no guarantee the person will be able to pay them back.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of debt is a legal document used to adjudicate claims involving fixed sums of money. It is a common-law writ that allows a court to determine the amount of money owed by one party to another.

For example, if John owes Jane $500, Jane can use a writ of debt to sue John and ask the court to order him to pay the debt. The court will then determine the amount owed and issue a judgment in favor of Jane.

Writs of debt are typically used in cases where there is a clear and specific amount of money owed, such as unpaid loans, rent, or bills. They are not used for debts that are uncertain or disputed.
