rightness clause
English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
From an audio file that I am transcribing. They talk about a mandamus and they say that it's like a "rightness clause". I realize that's not what they are saying, but it sounds like that....

It contains this wonderfully righteous clause that I think should be adopted by all industries that deal with music:

That's the only possibility I can think of offhand.

You're probably right, it was a wild guess anyway.

seeing as it is a mandamus. I can't hear the file so it is just a guess.

(like a) "right to" clause
This is my rather "colloquial" rendering....and a guess as well. It was inferred from the below website with the definition of Mandamus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandamus
Legal requirements
The applicant pleading for the writ of mandamus to be enforced should be able to show that he has a legal "right to" compel the respondent to do or refrain from doing the specific act. The duty sought to be enforced must have two qualities:[3] It must be a duty of public nature and the duty must be imperative and should not be discretionary.
Mandamus, being a discretionary remedy, the application for that must be made in good faith and not for indirect purposes. Acquiescence cannot, however, bar the issue of mandamus. The petitioner must, of course, satisfy the Court that he has the legal "right to" the performance of the legal duty as distinct from mere discretion of authority.[
