TROs: A TRO can be requested if immediate harm or danger is shown. Preliminary Injunctions: These are used in serious cases where the harm to the plaintiff is significant and immediate, and the other party is not greatly affected.
Denial of the ex parte motion likely meant the Court was not convinced that the immediate grant of your request was necessary to protect the individual or the individual's rights. Don't forget the ex parte motion is one of the few times when the court system does not offer both parties a level playing field.
Temporary Ex Parte Protective Orders These orders generally last up to 20 days but can be extended by the court if necessary, mainly if the final hearing has not yet occurred. In cases where delays in the court process occur, or new threats emerge, the court may grant an extension of the ex parte order.
If there is an urgent need for court intervention, a District Court can issue an Ex Parte Emergency Protective Order. These are temporary restraining orders issued by the court without notice to the aggressor because there is an immediate threat.
The term “ex parte” means "from one party” in Latin, which can describe any situation where a judge communicates with only one side (or one party's lawyer) in a legal matter. Ex parte hearings are only granted in extreme cases, as they contradict the fundamental right to due process guaranteed by the Constitution.
Ex parte means that the abuser does not have to be present or given notice of the hearing. This is a preliminary hearing where the judge can grant you a temporary restraining order for 10 days.
A preliminary injunction is temporary relief that preserves the status quo until the courts decide on the merits of the case. The relief sought often involves asking a court to prevent an opposing party from taking specific action or continuing a current course of action.
If by ex parte you mean a hearing where the other side fails to appear despite notice, then you must show that the other side was properly served with notice. You must then present evidence to prove that you are entitled to the relief you have requested.
The temporary order will only last until a hearing on your final order, which will usually take place within 10 days, or within seven days of the date your abuser is served with the temporary order, whichever is later. The final restraining order will protect you for one year from the date of the order.
