Legal Terms - Error
A legal mistake in a court's judgment or order, or in a procedural aspect of legal processes. A writ of error was historically employed to direct an inferior court to transmit its proceedings' records for examination by a superior court. It was eliminated in civil matters by the Judicature Acts of 1873–75 and in criminal cases by the Criminal Appeal Act of 1907, subsequently replaced by the contemporary system of appeal.
