Read a random definition: 50-percent rule

A quick definition of writ of protection:

A writ of protection is a legal document that can be used in two different situations. The first situation is when a witness in a court case is afraid of being arrested for speaking the truth. The writ of protection can be used to prevent the witness from being arrested. The second situation is when someone who works for the government is afraid of being arrested in a civil court case. The writ of protection can be used to prevent the person from being arrested for a year and a day.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A writ of protection is a legal document that provides protection to a witness who is threatened with arrest during a judicial proceeding. It can also be a writ that exempts anyone in the Crown's service from arrest in a civil proceeding for a year and a day.

Example 1: During a trial, a witness receives threats from the defendant or their associates. In such a case, the witness can request a writ of protection from the court to ensure their safety and prevent any attempts to intimidate or harm them.

Example 2: A government official who is serving the Crown may be exempted from arrest in a civil proceeding for a year and a day. This means that they cannot be arrested or detained during this period, even if they are involved in a legal dispute.

These examples illustrate how a writ of protection can be used to safeguard the rights and safety of individuals involved in legal proceedings. It is a legal tool that can be used to prevent any attempts to intimidate or harm witnesses or to protect government officials from undue harassment or arrest.
