- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
(b) The filing of an appeal pursuant to this section shall stay the application of the rule, order, or other action of the commissioner to the appealing party unless the court, after giving the party notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines that the stay would be detrimental to the interest of policyholders or the public.
(c) Any person aggrieved by any failure of the commissioner to act or make a determination required by this chapter may petition the District Court for Ramsey County for a writ in the nature of a mandamus or a peremptory mandamus directing the commissioner to act or make this determination immediately.
