A quick definition of order to show cause:

An order to show cause is a request from a judge for someone to explain why they should or should not get what they are asking for in court. For example, if someone wants a restraining order, the judge might ask them to give more information. It's like the judge is saying, "Tell me why I should do what you want." This is a way for the judge to make sure they have all the information they need before making a decision.

A more thorough explanation:

An order to show cause (O.S.C.) is a legal order issued by a judge that requires a party to explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or relief. It is a demand for justification or explanation.

For example, if someone requests a restraining order from a judge, the judge may issue an order to show cause to the person requesting the order. The order would require the person to explain why the restraining order should be granted.

In simpler terms, an order to show cause is a notice of a legal proceeding given to a relevant party. It is a way for the court to get more information before making a decision.

Another example of an order to show cause could be in a child custody case. If one parent wants to change the custody arrangement, the judge may issue an order to show cause to both parents. The order would require them to explain why the custody arrangement should or should not be changed.

Overall, an order to show cause is a legal tool used by judges to gather more information before making a decision. It is a way to ensure that all parties have a chance to explain their position and provide evidence to support their case.
