Peremptory Writ Of Mandate (noun)

A Peremptory Writ Of Mandate is a final court order that obligates a lower court, government agency, public authority, or individual to fulfill a duty they are legally obligated to perform.

Instead, it demands immediate compliance with the duties specified in the writ.
