  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
  • Writ of certiorari: An order issued by the Supreme Court directing the lower court to transmit records for a case for which it will hear on appeal.
 Upon the presentation of a petition under section 335.18, the court may allow a writ of certiorari directed to the board of adjustment to review the decision of the board of adjustment and shall prescribe within the writ the time within which a return must be made and served upon the relator’s attorney, which shall not be less than ten days and may be extended by the court. The allowance of the writ shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, on application, on notice to the board, and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order.
