An ex parte application is a request made to a court by one party without notifying the other party. The court will consider and rule on the request without hearing from all sides. It is also known as an ex parte motion.
These examples illustrate how an ex parte application can be used to obtain urgent relief without waiting for a hearing with all parties present. However, it is important to note that ex parte applications are only granted in limited circumstances where immediate action is necessary to prevent harm or irreparable damage.
