petition of right
petition of right n.
a. English Law. A common law remedy against the Crown seeking the recovery of real or personal property notwithstanding the general principle that the sovereign is not to be sued in his own courts. Now chiefly historical.The Crown Proceedings Act 1947 provided that a claim against the Crown that could have been enforced by petition of right could be prosecuted in the courts in the normal way, but there may still occasionally be circumstances in which the petition of right is still the appropriate procedure, e.g. in claims under the Colonial Stock Act 1877.
