A quick definition of writ of quare impedit:

A writ of quare impedit is a legal document used in the past to help a church leader choose someone to fill a job at their church. It was used when someone was stopping the church leader from choosing who they wanted. The writ would tell the person causing trouble to stop and let the church leader choose who they wanted. If they didn't stop, they would have to go to court and explain why they were causing trouble.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of quare impedit is a legal term used in ecclesiastical law. It is a writ or action that enforces a patron's right to present a person to fill a vacant benefice. The term comes from the Latin phrase "why he hinders."

For example, if a patron believes that a bishop or pseudo-patron is obstructing their right to present a proper person to a vacant church, they can use a writ of quare impedit to command the disturbers to permit the presentation. If the defendants do not comply, they must appear in court to explain why they are hindering the patron.

This writ was commonly used in England during the Middle Ages and is still used in some countries today. It is an important tool for protecting the rights of patrons in the appointment of clergy.
