Definition of Petition<\/h2>\n

\n

A written statement addressed to the Crown, a Court or public officer, setting forth facts on which the petitioner bases a prayer for remedy or relief. Proceedings in the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division, in Bankruptcy, in the House of Lords and Privy Council are commenced by petition. A petition is also one of the methods of initiating proceedings in the Chancery Division.
The right of the subject to petition the Crown or Parliament was affirmed by the Court in the case of the Sven Bishops (q.v.) and the Bill of Rights. But violent and tumultuous petitioning is forbidden by the statute 13 Car. 2, st. 1, c. 5<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
