A quick definition of writ of mesne process:

A writ of mesne process is a legal document that is used in the process of a lawsuit. It is a type of writ that is issued by a court to order someone to appear in court or to produce evidence. This writ is used when there is a dispute between two parties and one party needs to compel the other party to take some action. It is an important tool in the legal system that helps to ensure that justice is served.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal writ that allows a plaintiff to continue legal action against a defendant who has not yet been served with a summons or who has not appeared in court. It is also known as a writ of mesne.

Example: If a plaintiff files a lawsuit against a defendant but is unable to serve them with a summons, they can request a writ of mesne process to continue the legal action. This writ allows the plaintiff to serve the defendant through other means, such as publication in a newspaper or posting the summons on the defendant's door.

This example illustrates how a writ of mesne process can help a plaintiff continue legal action even if the defendant is difficult to locate or refuses to appear in court.
