Answer:
When a court order isn't followed, a petition for contempt may be filed in the court that issued the order. The court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce its orders by holding the noncomplying party in contempt of court. A party may also file a Judgment on Rule for Contempt, which is a prepared judgment ready for the judge to sign, to further the court's ease in making a determination. A certificate of service is filed along with the petition to prove that the petition was served on the opposing party.
A writ of mandate is an order to a public agency or governmental body to perform an act required by law when it has neglected or refused to do so. It is also referred to as a writ of mandamus. A person may petition for a writ of mandamus when an official has refused to fulfill a legal obligation, such as ordering an agency to enter an order in the public records.
