Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Re: What does writ pro quo mean?

I was unable to locate the term "writ pro quo" in the legal resources. You might be referring to the term "quid pro quo", which is a term often used in connection with the making or enforcement of a contract.

"Quid pro quo" essentially means "something for something". It refers to the exchange of something of value for the purposes of making a contract. In a sale of goods contract, the "somethings" exchanged would be money (by the purchaser) for merchandise (by the seller). In a services contract, the "somethings" might be money (by the person requesting the services) for painting, cleaning, or other services (by the service provider).
