Introduced Text

Montana HB772 revises writ of mandamus laws, requiring specific criteria for issuance and detailing the form and content of the writ.

Montana HB772 amends the writ of mandamus laws by specifying that a writ must be issued upon an affidavit and the application of a party beneficially interested, provided certain criteria are met. It revises the form and content of the writ, distinguishing between alternative and peremptory writs. The alternative writ must command the party to perform an act or show cause why it has not been done, while the peremptory writ must omit the requirement for the party to show cause and include a return day.
