A civil harassment restraining order can be granted against someone who has harassed, stalked, threatened, or harmed another person emotionally or physically. What if I am under 18? If you are 12 or older, you can ask for a restraining order on your own and without your parent's permission.
To cover those situations in which notice cannot be reasonably given, Rule 65 provides for temporary restraining orders (or TROs), A temporary restraining order is like a preliminary injunction but, if it is issued without notice to the adverse party, its duration is limited to ten days.
A temporary injunction is an interim relief i.e, it is temporary in nature. It is a temporary order, and not a permanent solution. A permanent injunction deals with the finality of a judgement, thus providing a definite and permanent resolution of the matter.
Unlike TRO, temporary injunctions are slightly more enduring in effect than TRO, and requires a court proceeding and usually requires a notice to the opposing party.
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.
The TRO is usually only good for a short time. In most cases, the judge will schedule the OSC hearing within a maximum 22 days; on the hearing date, the TRO expires and is hopefully replaced by a preliminary injunction, which lasts until the case is resolved.
What is a preliminary injunction? A preliminary injunction is temporary relief that preserves the status quo until the courts decide on the merits of the case. The injunctive relief sought often involves asking a court to prevent an opposing party from taking specific action or continuing a current course of action.
