In English law, a petition of right was a remedy available to subjects to recover property from the Crown. Before the Crown Proceedings Act 1947, the British Crown could not be sued in contract. However, as it was seen to be desirable that Crown contractors could obtain redress, lest they be inhibited from taking on such work, the petition of right came to be used in such situations, especially after the Petitions of Right Act 1860 simplified the process. Before the petition could be heard by the courts, it had to be endorsed with the words fiat justitia on the advice of the Home Secretary and Attorney-General. This Latin phrase was normally translated as "Let right be done".

  • En common law, la pétition de droit était une procédure permettant à une personne de poursuivre la Couronne. Elle est apparue pour remédier à la doctrine « The King can do no wrong » (littéralement : « Le Roi ne peut mal faire ») qui empêchait un citoyen de poursuivre la Couronne. La pétition de droit a remédié à cette situation, mais la personne devait au préalable obtenir l'assentiment de la Couronne avant d'introduire son recours devant les tribunaux. L'autorisation donnée par la Couronne à la poursuite était nommée fiat. (fr)

  • In English law, a petition of right was a remedy available to subjects to recover property from the Crown. Before the Crown Proceedings Act 1947, the British Crown could not be sued in contract. However, as it was seen to be desirable that Crown contractors could obtain redress, lest they be inhibited from taking on such work, the petition of right came to be used in such situations, especially after the Petitions of Right Act 1860 simplified the process. Before the petition could be heard by the courts, it had to be endorsed with the words fiat justitia on the advice of the Home Secretary and Attorney-General. This Latin phrase was normally translated as "Let right be done". One of the most famous causes célèbres in English law, the Archer-Shee case, arose out of proceedings on a petition of right. Section 1 of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 allows claims for which a petition would previously have been demanded to be brought in the courts directly as against any other defendant. However, a petition and fiat still appear to be necessary for personal claims against the monarch. (en)

L'autorisation donnée par la Couronne à la poursuite était nommée fiat. La pétition de droit était un recours procédural d'abord disponible afin de revendiquer un bien entre les mains de la Couronne, puis pour obtenir réparation en droit des contrats. Elle a finalement été élargie à la responsabilité délictuelle. Elle est apparue plus formellement durant le XIXe siècle et a généralement été abolie durant le XXe siècle. (fr)
