Peremptory Writ in United States
Peremptory Writ Definition
An original writ, called from the words of the writ a “si te fecerit seeurum,” and which directed the sheriff to cause the defendant to appear in court without any option given him, provided the plaintiff gave the sheriff security effectually to prosecute his claim. The writ was rarely used, and where nothing was specifically demanded, but only a satisfaction in general; as in the case of writs of trespass on the case, wherein no debt or other specific thing was sued for, but only damages to be assessed by a jury. Brown.
