Temporary restraining order

Read a random definition: emergency

A quick definition of Temporary restraining order:

A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a short-term court order that is issued to prevent immediate harm or injury to a person or property. It is granted by a judge if the person requesting it can prove that they will suffer irreparable harm if the order is not issued. A TRO can be issued without informing the other party and without holding a hearing, but it only lasts until a hearing can be held to determine if a preliminary injunction should be granted. A TRO typically lasts for 14 days, but it can be extended if the party against whom the order is directed consents to the extension.

A more thorough explanation:

A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a short-term injunction that can be issued by a judge to prevent immediate harm or injury to a person or entity. It is a stop-gap measure that only lasts until a hearing can be held to determine whether a preliminary injunction should be granted.

To obtain a TRO, a party must convince the judge that they will suffer immediate and irreparable harm unless the order is issued. The judge may issue the order immediately, without informing the other parties or holding a hearing. However, the order will only last for 14 days unless it is extended or the other party consents to a longer period.

For example, if a person is being threatened with physical harm by someone else, they may seek a TRO to prevent the other person from coming near them. The TRO would be in effect until a hearing could be held to determine whether a preliminary injunction should be granted.

In another example, a company may seek a TRO to prevent a former employee from sharing confidential information with a competitor. The TRO would be in effect until a hearing could be held to determine whether a preliminary injunction should be granted.

These examples illustrate how a TRO can be used to prevent immediate harm or injury to a person or entity. It is a temporary measure that is meant to provide protection until a more permanent solution can be reached through a hearing.
