If an official refuses to perform a legal duty, the spirit of which writ may be appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mandamus

Direct answer: C, Mandamus. A writ is a formal order issued by a court to protect law and rights. Mandamus literally means ‘we command’ and is used to direct a public authority or official to perform a public legal duty that has been wrongly refused or neglected. Thus, the key clues are an official, a legal duty, and failure to perform it. A, Habeas corpus, is used to bring a person detained unlawfully before the court and protect personal liberty. B, Prohibition, stops a lower court or tribunal from continuing a case beyond its legal jurisdiction; it does not generally order an officer to do a duty. D, Quo warranto asks by what authority a person holds a public office. Memory cue: Mandamus means “make the official act”; Habeas corpus concerns detention, Prohibition concerns stopping proceedings, and Quo warranto concerns authority to hold office.
