Mandamus
A writ of (; ) is a judicial remedy in the English and American common law system consisting of a court order that commands a government official or entity to perform an act it is legally required to perform as part of its official duties, or to refrain from performing an act the law forbids it from doing. Writs of mandamus are usually used in situations where a government official has failed to act as legally required or has taken a legally prohibited action.

Mesne Profits
Mesne profits ( ) are sums of money paid for the occupation of land to a person with right of immediate occupation, where no permission has been given for that occupation.Farran, Sue and Paterson, Donald. ''South Pacific Property Law.'' Florence, Ky.: Routledge, 2004, p. 90. The concept is feudal in origin, and common in countries which rely on the English legal system (including many former British colonies). The word is derived from the root word demesne. Mesne profits commonly occur where a landlord has obtained an order from a court to evict a tenant, or where an individual sues to eject a ''bona fide'' landowner to whom title to land was improperly conveyed.

Mesne profits must be drawn from the land itself, rather than improvements o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
