I assume you've checked all the citations that I've already provided
to you. Is that correct?

As far as the correct address in a writ, it was not entirely a legal
ploy as you suggest. William la Zouche Mortimer had a right to be
addressed in that style, if that was the name he employed during his
adult life. If he was incorrectly addressed in a writ, he had a right
to ask that the writ be denied. Then the legal process had to start
all over again.

As I stated earlier, if a writ was incorrectly addressed to you as
David Thomson, it would also be invalid today. If you complained
about the incorrect address in such a writ, a judge would rule in your
favor. You seemed to have dodged that point.
