Peremptory Writ of mandate question of service

Question

In a review of the Cal supreme court , the court imed filed and served the respondents to a Peremptory writ. Does this mean the 10 day return due from the respondents is on, and does this mean the court is interested in the case???

Answer 1

I'm unsure. you can ask someone in the courts that question.. good luck

Answer 2

Are you sure?  A peremptory writ is a final order, issued at the conclusion of a writ action, commanding someone (usually the respondent) to do something.  There is no return to a peremptory writ.  A return is made to an alternative writ or order to show cause.

I am really guessing here, but I suspect that a lower court (the superior court or the Court of Appeal) ordered a peremptory writ to issue, which order did not become effective while a Petition for Review was pending in the Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court denied review, at which point the lower court issued its peremptory writ.
