A more thorough explanation:

DE ESSONIO DE MALO LECTI

De essonio de malo lecti is a legal term that refers to a writ that orders a determination of whether a person is truly sick after the person has issued an essoin claiming sickness as an excuse for not appearing in court. The term comes from Law Latin and means "of essoin of malum lecti (sickness of bed)".

For example, if a person is summoned to appear in court but claims to be too sick to attend, they may issue an essoin. The court may then issue a de essonio de malo lecti writ to determine whether the person is truly sick or not. If it is found that the person was not actually sick, they may face penalties for failing to appear in court.

Another example could be a situation where a defendant in a criminal case claims to be too sick to attend their trial. The court may issue a de essonio de malo lecti writ to determine the validity of the defendant's claim.

These examples illustrate how the de essonio de malo lecti writ is used to ensure that individuals do not use false claims of sickness as an excuse to avoid appearing in court.
