FAQ
A temporary restraining order, or TRO, is similar to a preliminary injunction in that it is a pre-trial court order that enjoins or mandates another party's conduct. However, it is different in that TROs are more urgent and may be issued without notice to the other party.
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.
Temporary Protection Orders (TPO) refers to the protection order issued by the court on the date of the filing of the application after ex parte determination that such order should be issued.

Protective orders apply mostly to violent or threatening behavior and seek to protect petitioners from future harm.
A TRO is issued only if the matter is of such extreme urgency that grave injustice and irreparable injury will arise unless it is issued immediately. Parenthetically, the burden is on the petitioner to show in the application that there is meritorious ground for the issuance of the TRO in its favor.
