Which writ orders an official to perform a legal duty?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mandamus

Correct answer: B, Mandamus. A writ is a formal order issued by a constitutional court. Mandamus literally means ‘we command’ and is used to direct a public authority or official to perform a public or legal duty that has not been performed. The duty must be one recognised by law; the writ is not a general order to satisfy every private request. A, Habeas corpus, protects a person against unlawful detention by requiring the detained person to be produced before the court. C, Prohibition, is issued to stop a lower court or tribunal from continuing a case that is outside its jurisdiction. D, Quo warranto asks by what authority a person holds a public office. Therefore, the clue ‘perform a legal duty’ points to Mandamus. Memory cue: Mandamus = mandate to do a duty; Prohibition = stop, Habeas corpus = produce the body, Quo warranto = question authority.
