One of the most recent cases concerning the question of a proper time to issue an extraordinary writ is State ex rel. State Highway Commission v. District Court, 160 Mont. 35, 499 P.2d 1228, 29 St.Rep. 615. The facts of that case are somewhat similar to the instant ease. The question of the case was a question of law, whether the service of process in the action was proper and in accordance with the appropriate statute. That case could also have had an effect on a number of possible lienholders. There we cited earlier Montana cases which discussed the need to prevent extended and needless litigation and the fact that the request for a writ was within a reasonable time after the action sought to be remedied was taken. In that instance we issued the writ, even though the remedy of appeal was available.
