The trial court's writ order requiring the city to administer competitive examinations was clear and unambiguous and not in need of clarification. The trial court did not err in denying the relator-appellant's request for back pay and other benefits. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the appellant's request for attorney fees because there was no bad faith on the part of the appellee.
