Allocatur (from med. Lat. allocatur, "it is allowed"), in law, refers to the allowance of a writ or other pleading. It may also designate a certificate given by a taxing master, at the termination of an action, for the allowance of costs. In Pennsylvania courts, the term is still used to denote permission for an appeal. In most other American courts, the term certiorari is used.
