Mandatory

Read a random definition: enrolled

A quick definition of Mandatory:

Definition: Mandatory means that something is required or necessary according to the law. For example, if something is mandatory, it must be done or followed. This can include things like mandatory authority, which means that a court must follow a certain law or rule, or a mandatory injunction, which requires someone to do something specific.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In law, "mandatory" means something that is required or obligatory.

For example:

  • Mandatory authority: This refers to a source of law that a court is required to follow. For instance, a court must follow a statute or a higher court's decision that is mandatory authority.
  • Mandatory injunction: This is an order that requires someone to perform a specific act or course of conduct. For example, a court may issue a mandatory injunction to stop someone from building a structure that violates zoning laws.
  • Mandatory joinder: This requires the inclusion of a party in a lawsuit. For instance, if a lawsuit involves a contract between two parties, a mandatory joinder may require the inclusion of a third party who has an interest in the contract.
  • Mandatory power of appointment: This is the required exercise of the power of disposition given to a person over property that is not their own. For example, if a trust gives a trustee the power to distribute assets to beneficiaries, the trustee may have a mandatory power of appointment that requires them to distribute the assets in a certain way.

These examples illustrate how "mandatory" is used in law to indicate something that is required or obligatory. It is important to follow mandatory requirements to avoid legal consequences.
