## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- stating that "[w]here a plain and adequate remedy at law has been unsuccessfully invoked, a writ of mandamus will not lie to relitigate the same issue"

## Opinion text

Cook, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part. The filing of this second mandamus action and the appeal to this court is plainly frivolous conduct for which I would award attorney fees as a sanction.
Wright, J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.
