<h1>Quo warranto challenges unauthorized occupation of public office by questioning holder's legal authority</h1> A writ of quo warranto is a judicial remedy challenging someone's unauthorized occupation of a public office, franchise, or liberty. The writ questions 'by what authority' the person holds the position. Originating from ancient Common Law as a Crown prerogative, it determines the right to exercise office and ousts holders whose claims are unfounded or who have forfeited their rights through misuse, neglect, or abuse. The remedy applies against usurpers lacking proper qualifications or suffering disqualifications. Courts examine legal requirements independently of who made the appointment, focusing on whether the holder meets necessary qualifications for the public office.
