If a person is believed to be illegally holding a public office, which writ may be relevant?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Quo warranto

Direct answer: B, quo warranto, is correct. A writ is a formal order issued by a constitutional court to protect legality or rights. Quo warranto literally asks, in effect, “By what authority?” It examines whether a person has the legal qualifications and authority to occupy a public office. If the appointment does not satisfy the law, the court may question or end that unlawful occupation. A, mandamus, directs a public authority to perform a legal public duty; it is not mainly a test of someone’s title to office. C, habeas corpus, protects a person from unlawful detention by requiring the detained person to be produced before the court. D, prohibition, stops a lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction. Memory cue: “quo warranto = what authority for this public office?”
