No. 3 of 1901.
827
Prerogative writ of mandamus.
522. Nothing in this Chapter shall affect the jurisdiction of the court to grant prerogative writs of mandamus; nor shall any writ of mandamus issued out of the court be invalid by reason of the right of the prosecutor to proceed by action of mandamus under this Chapter.
17 & 18 Vict. c. 125, s. 75.
523. On application by motion for a prerogative writ of mandamus, the rule may in all cases be absolute in the first instance, if the court thinks fit; and the writ may bear teste on the day of its issuing, and may be made returnable forthwith, but time to return it may, on sufficient grounds, be allowed by the court, either on or without terms, as to the court may seem just.
17 & 18 Vict. c. 125, s. 76.
524. The provisions of this Code, so far as they are applicable, shall apply to the pleadings and proceedings on a prerogative writ of mandamus issued by the court.
