Definition of extent in aid
Definition: A historical writ that allowed a Crown debtor to obtain payment from someone who owed them money, so that they could pay their debt to the Crown. This writ was abolished in 1947 due to its abuse.
Example: In the past, if someone owed money to the Crown and couldn't pay, they could use an extent in aid to force someone else who owed them money to pay the Crown instead. For example, if John owed money to the Crown and couldn't pay, he could use an extent in aid to force Jane, who owed him money, to pay the Crown instead.
Explanation: This example illustrates how an extent in aid worked in practice. John, the Crown debtor, used the writ to force Jane, who owed him money, to pay the Crown instead. This allowed John to satisfy his debt to the Crown without having to pay out of his own pocket.
