issue a libel writ law

[rtrt]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Выражение встречается в следующем контексте: In some countries you can take legal action and sue newspaper editors for invasion of privacy: different countries have different laws about what breaches of privacy are actionable.
You may also sue for libel in a libel action, if you think that you have been libelled: in other words, that something untrue, and that damages your reputation, has been written about you. When someone starts legal action for libel, they issue a libel writ.

Заранее спасибо!
