This seems to be a question on UK law. Clue in the question?
this is an order issued by the high court in the sovereigns name directing some act or forebearance, i.e a writ of summons.
Originally, a writ was an instrument under seal bearing some command of the sovereign.

A writ is a written order issued by a court, commanding the party to whom it is addressed to perform or cease performing a specified act. High court indicates that it was issued by the highest court of the region (i.e., State or Federal Supreme Court).
