112 2025-01526956 1. Petition for Writ 2. Case Management Conference Mandell vs. O'Donnell Petitioner Jeffrey Mandell’s Petition for a peremptory writ of mandamus requiring Respondents Brendan O’Donnell and BodEv, Inc. to allow him to inspect and copy the records of BodEV, Inc. pursuant to Corp. Code § 1603(a) is granted.
Code of Civil Procedure §1085 authorizes any court to issue a writ of mandate to “any inferior tribunal, corporation, board, or person, to compel the performance of an act which the law specially enjoins, as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or station, or to compel the admission of a party to the use and enjoyment of a right or office to which the party is entitled, and from which the party is unlawfully precluded by that inferior tribunal, corporation, board, or person.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 1085.)
One such instance is where a shareholder seeks such an order through a Corporations Code section 1601 demand, or a director seeks such an order through a Corporations Code section 1602 demand for inspection and copying of corporate records and documents. There are two essential requirements to the issuance of an ordinary writ of mandate under Code of Civil Procedure section 1085: (1) a clear, present and ministerial duty on the part of the respondent, and (2) a clear, present and beneficial right on the part of the petitioner to the performance of that duty.
