Definition of writ of rebellion
A writ of rebellion, also known as a commission of rebellion, was a legal process used in the past to enforce obedience to a writ of subpoena or decree. It allowed a layperson to arrest and bring a defendant to Chancery.
For example, if someone failed to appear in court after being ordered to do so, a commission of rebellion could be issued to apprehend them as a rebel and contemner of the king's laws.
This process was abolished in 1841, and is no longer used in modern legal systems.
A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a 'brief'.
