Mandate in United States
Mandate Definition
In Practice. A judicial command or precept issued by a court or magistrate, directing the proper officer to enforce a judgment, sentence, or decree. Commonly applied to the precept issued by an appellate court after decision of the cause, commanding the lower court to proceed therein. In Contracts. A bailment of property in regard to which the bailee engages to do some act without reward. Story, Bailm. i 137; 148 111. 186. The contract of mandate in the civil law is not limited to personal property, nor does it require a delivery of personal property when it relates to that. Poth. de Mand. note 1; Civ. Code La. arts. 2954-2964. It is, however, restricted to things of a personal nature at common law, and of these there must be a delivery, actual or constructive. Story, Bailm. § 142; 3 Strob. (S. C.) 343. Mandates and deposits closely resemble each other; the distinction being that in mandates the care and service are the principal, and the custody the accessory; while in deposits the custody is the principal thing and the care and service are merely accessory. Story, Bailm. § 140. In Civil Law. The instructions which the emperor addressed to a public functionary, and which were to serve as rules for his conduct. These mandates resembled those of the proconsuls, the mandata jurisdictio, and were’ ordinarily binding on the legates or lieutenants of the emperor of the imperial provinces, and there they had the authority of the principal edicts. Savigny. Dr. Rom. c. 3, § 24, note 4. International Law. The authority under which former German colonies were taken over and administered under the treaty of Versailles.
