Writ of mandamus compels public bodies to perform statutory duties when no adequate alternative remedy exists
A writ of mandamus is an extensive remedial order issued by the High Court commanding any person, corporation, or inferior tribunal to perform a specific public duty related to their office. It remedies defects of justice where there is a specific legal right but no specific legal remedy, or where alternative remedies are less convenient or effective. The writ is discretionary, not automatic, requiring the applicant to demonstrate a judicially enforceable right and personal legal standing to demand performance of statutory duties by public bodies.
