This seems more properly an enumeration of the various sorts of mandates than a definition of the contract. According to Mr. Justice Story, it is a bailment of personal property, in regard to which the bailee engages to do some act without reward. 2) Practice. A judicial command or precept issued by a court or magi- trate, directing the proper officer to enforce a judgment, sentence or decree.

Mandatory rules
In the conflict of laws, mandatory rules are compulsorily applicable rules of law, found in applicable international conventions or national statutes, which cannot be contracted out of. In some cases, they may also be rules, which apply regardless of the law otherwise applicable under the forum's rules of private international law. Mandatory rules frequently give effect to social and economic policies deemed by the country concerned to be of overriding importance, particularly in fields such as consumer protection, employment, monetary and fiscal policy. In maritime law, the Hague/Visby (supra) and Hamburg Rules (supra) on the carriage of goods by sea, and various national statutes making those rules compulsorily applicable, are examples of mandatory rules.
