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.
After both parties have argued their case and presented evidence, the judge will render a decision. The judge can order a non-compliant party to take steps to remedy the situation, and impose legal penalties upon the non-compliant party.
Appellate courts often issue orders to show cause to lower courts requesting that the lower court explain why the appellant should not be granted the relief requested by the writ or appeal. An order to show cause is always an interim order (because it is never the first nor the final action in a legal action).
