— Also termed writ of quare impedit. See PRESENTATION(2); ADVOWSON.
“The writ of quare impedit commands the disturbers, the bishop, the pseudo-patron, and his clerk, to permit the plaintiff to present a proper person (without specifying the particular clerk) to such a vacant church, which pertains to his patronage; and which the defendants, as he alleges, do obstruct: and unless they so do, then that they appear in court to shew the reason why they hinder him.” 3 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 248 (1768).
