What relief has been granted after the Court of Appeal found that an order discharging a writ of mandate was granted in error?

Reported decisions provide few examples of relief granted after an appellate court determines an order discharging a writ of mandate was granted in error. The first and obvious type of relief is the reversal of the trial court's order discharging the writ. (See Sanders v. City of Los Angeles (1970) 3 Cal.3d 252, 261-262, 90 Cal.Rptr. 169, 475 P.2d 201 [Court of Appeal's reversal of order discharging the writ affirmed] (Sanders ); Lewis v. Steifel (1950) 98 Cal.App.2d 648, 652, 220 P.2d 769 ["order discharging and vacating writ is reversed"].) In addition, the appellate court may expand upon the reversal by directing the trial court to order defendants to comply with the writ. (Sanders , supra , at p. 256, 90 Cal.Rptr. 169, 475 P.2d 201 ; see

[216 Cal.Rptr.3d 488]

Sanders v. City of Los Angeles (1967) 252 Cal.App.2d 488, 495, 60 Cal.Rptr. 539 ["the court is directed to order all defendants to comply with the writ of mandate"].) The appellate court also may direct the trial court to issue " any further appropriate orders to compel obedience to the writ. " (Sanders , supra , at p. 262, 90 Cal.Rptr. 169, 475 P.2d 201.)
