Understand The Types Of DMV Writs

There are two types of writs of mandate a motorist is likely to encounter in challenging a DMV decision. Where the decision follows a DMV hearing, the writ is called an administrative writ and is governed by specific administrative procedures. Where the decision did not follow a hearing (as in the case of a mandatory action), the writ is a common law writ and is governed by more general writ provisions.
