In English law, the prerogative writs are writs originally available only to the Crown, but which were later made available to the King's subjects through the courts. The prerogative writs are a means by which the Crown, acting through its courts, affects control over inferior courts or public authorities throughout the kingdom. 2, record 1, English, - prerogative%20writ
