Writ of Mandate: Penalty

When a peremptory mandate has been issued and directed to any inferior tribunal, corporation, board or person, if it appears to the court that any member of such tribunal, corporation, or board, or such person upon whom the writ has been personally served, has without just excuse refused or neglected to obey the same, the court may, upon motion, impose a fine not exceeding One Hundred Dollars. In case of persistence in a refusal of obedience, the court may order the party to be imprisoned until the writ is obeyed, and may make any orders necessary and proper for the complete enforcement of the writ.
