Writ [SEP] Prerogative writs
The "prerogative" writs are a subset of the class of writs, those that are to be heard ahead of any other cases on a court's docket except other such writs. The most common of the other such prerogative writs are "habeas corpus", "quo warranto", "prohibito", "mandamus", "procedendo", and "certiorari". The due process for "petitions for" such writs is not simply civil or criminal, because they incorporate the presumption of non-authority, so that the official who is the respondent has the burden to prove his authority to do or not do something, failing which the court has no discretion but to decide for the petitioner, who may be any person, not just an interested party.
