In Missouri, a Temporary Restraining Order (TO) and Order to Show Cause regarding Preliminary Injunction with Application Therefor are legal documents issued by the court to protect individuals or entities from potential harm or loss while a legal dispute is being resolved. These orders may be granted in various types of cases, such as domestic violence, harassment, property disputes, or contractual disagreements. A Temporary Restraining Order refers to a short-term court order issued to provide immediate protection to a party during the pendency of a legal proceeding. It aims to maintain the status quo and prevent irreparable harm until a full hearing can be held. It can be obtained ex parte, which means only one party appears before the judge, or after a hearing where both parties present their arguments. An Order to Show Cause regarding Preliminary Injunction with Application Therefor is an order that requires the party against whom it is directed to appear in court and show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be granted. Preliminary injunctions are longer-lasting orders that maintain the status quo until a final decision is reached in the case. They can restrict certain actions, preserve assets, or bind parties to specific obligations. To obtain a preliminary injunction, the moving party must demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits of the case and that irreparable harm will occur if the injunction is not granted.
