A Show Cause hearing is a meeting to discuss why a person is non-compliant with a court order. The purpose of the meeting is to resolve the issue(s) of non-compliance.
Legal Examples: A Show Cause Order is issued to a party who has allegedly violated a court order. The individual must appear in court to explain why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the original order, such as not paying court-ordered child support.
Instead of answering, the defendant may file one of the motions described in Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 12. If the judge grants the motion, the judge's order will direct the parties what to do next. If the judge denies the motion, the defendant must file an answer within 14 days after the judge's order.
An order to show cause (O.S.C.), is a court order or the demand of a judge requiring a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief. For example, if a party requests a restraining order from a judge, the judge may need more information.
