Section § 1103
This law allows courts to issue a 'writ of prohibition' to stop lower courts or other authorities when there is no other effective legal solution available. It helps prevent these entities from overstepping their boundaries. A writ can be issued if requested by someone who is directly affected. Additionally, the appellate division of the superior court can send a writ to the superior court in certain lower-level cases like limited civil or minor criminal cases, treating the superior court as a lower body in these situations.
(a)CA Civil Procedure Code § 1103(a) A writ of prohibition may be issued by any court to an inferior tribunal or to a corporation, board, or person, in all cases where there is not a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law. It is issued upon the verified petition of the person beneficially interested.
(b)CA Civil Procedure Code § 1103(b) The appellate division of the superior court
may grant a writ of prohibition directed to the superior court in a limited civil case or in a misdemeanor or infraction case. Where the appellate division grants a writ of prohibition directed to the superior court, the superior court is an inferior tribunal for purposes of this chapter.

Section § 1104
This law explains two types of court writs (or orders): alternative and peremptory. An alternative writ tells someone to stop doing something until a court decides otherwise and explains why they should not be stopped permanently. A peremptory writ skips the explanation part and directly orders them to stop without question.
The writ must be either alternative or peremptory. The alternative writ must command the party to whom it is directed to desist or refrain from further proceedings in the action or matter specified therein, until the further order of the court from which it is issued, and to show cause before such court at a time and place then or thereafter specified by court order why such party should not be absolutely restrained from any further proceedings in such action or matter. The peremptory writ must be in a similar form, except that the words requiring the party to show cause why he should not be absolutely restrained must be omitted.
