Praemunire
Praemunire (an error, from Latin præmonere, to pre-admonish or forewarn), was an offence in English law that took its name from the introductory words of the writ of summons issued to the defendant to answer the charge, "Præmunire facias A.B.," &c., i.e. "cause A.B. to be forewarned." In short, to commit praemunire was to appeal to a power outside of the realm for resolution of a situation within England that was under jurisdiction of the Crown. Praemunire also has present significance in connection with praedicatums that derive in Scotland and England, in which it can be described as anger against the communion of that which has gone before. From this, the word came to be used to denote the offences, usually ecclesiastical, prosecuted by means of such a writ, and also the penalties they incurred.
