A quick definition of judicial order:

A judicial order is a written command or instruction given by a court or judge. It can be a final decision or a temporary order that directs a party to take a specific action or show cause why they should not. There are different types of orders, such as a filiation order that determines paternity and child support, or a restraining order that prohibits someone from doing something. Orders can also be related to buying or selling securities, such as a market order to buy or sell at the best available price.

A more thorough explanation:

A judicial order is a written command or direction issued by a court or judge. It can be a final decree or an interlocutory direction or command that relates to some intermediate matter in the case. An order can be issued on a subsidiary or collateral matter arising in an action, not disposing of the merits, but adjudicating a preliminary point or directing some step in the proceedings.

Examples of judicial orders include:

  • A court's determination of paternity, usually including a direction to pay child support (filiation order)
  • An order directing a party to appear in court and explain why the party took (or failed to take) some action or why the court should or should not grant some relief (show-cause order)
  • An order that relates to some intermediate matter in the case; any order other than a final order (interlocutory order)
  • An order that must be executed as soon as it reaches the trading floor (fill-or-kill order)
  • An order to buy or sell at a specified price, regardless of market price (limit order)
  • An order to buy or sell at the best price immediately available on the market (market order)
  • An order to buy or sell when the security's price reaches a specified level (the stop price) on the market (stop order)

These examples illustrate how a judicial order can be issued in various contexts, such as family law, civil procedure, and securities trading. They also show how a judicial order can be used to direct a party to take a specific action or to limit the scope of a party's claims or defenses.
