rule to show cause

Read a random definition: stirps

A quick definition of rule to show cause:

A rule to show cause is a court order that tells someone to explain why they did something or why they shouldn't do something. It's like a teacher asking a student to explain why they didn't do their homework or why they shouldn't be punished. There are many different types of court orders, like ones that tell people to pay child support or ones that tell brokers how to buy or sell stocks. Some orders are temporary and some are final. It's important to follow court orders or there can be consequences.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court order directing a party to appear in court and explain why they took (or failed to take) some action or why the court should or should not grant some relief.

Example: If a person fails to pay child support, the court may issue a rule to show cause, requiring them to appear in court and explain why they have not paid. The court may then order them to pay or face consequences such as fines or even jail time.

This example illustrates how a rule to show cause is used to compel someone to explain their actions or inaction in court and potentially face consequences for not complying with court orders.
