Read a random definition: out of the money

A quick definition of writ of prevention:

A writ of prevention is a legal document that stops someone from filing a lawsuit. It is also known as "quia timet," which means "because he fears." This legal doctrine allows a person to seek help from a court to prevent future harm to their rights or interests. It is used when someone is worried that they will be hurt in the future, and they need the court's help to stop it from happening. This type of legal action is taken when there is a danger that a defense at law might be lost if not tried immediately.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of prevention is a legal document that prevents the filing of a lawsuit. It is also known as a quia timet writ, which is a Latin term meaning "because he fears." This writ allows a person to seek equitable relief from future probable harm to a specific right or interest.

For example, if a person fears that their neighbor is going to build a fence that will block their access to a road, they can file a writ of prevention to stop the neighbor from building the fence. This writ is used to prevent harm before it happens.

The doctrine of quia timet permits equitable relief based on a concern over future probable injury to certain rights or interests, where anticipated future injury cannot be prevented by a present action at law. This means that if a person believes that their rights or interests are going to be harmed in the future, they can seek relief from the court to prevent that harm from happening.
