writ of mandamus Explanation: this is the "traditional" translation among legal translators with whom I'm acquainted. In this specific case, you might have to use "filed for preliminary issue of a writ of mandamus." |

peer agreement (net): +1Court Injunction // Temporary Restraining Order Explanation: Mandado de Seguranca = Court Injunction Liminar = Temporary Restraining Order If the phrase is as the asker wrote, it is probably just Temporary Restraining Order. Certain types of lawyers tend toward wordiness and redundancy to the point of pushing the meaning out of words. Both of these terms are given here from the judge's standpoint. From the plaintiff's end, he/she will simply petition for a "Mandado de Seguranca", then the judge will hand down a "liminar" almost immediately. The actual injunction will only be granted or denied after legal formalities have been met and the lawsuit studied, which takes a while. (Brazilian Law) |
