temporary restraining order (TRO)

A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a court order requiring the parties to whom it is addressed not to engage in certain activity, or to continue to engage in certain activity, and is usually designed to maintain the current state of things (the status quo) until the court has the opportunity to hear a more complete presentation of the evidence—usually during an application for a temporary injunction that will remain in place while the lawsuit is pending.

In North Dakota, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is a legal measure used to provide immediate protection by ordering a party to refrain from certain actions or to continue certain actions until a hearing can be held. This is typically used in situations where immediate harm might occur without court intervention. The TRO is designed to maintain the status quo and prevent further harm until the court has a chance to hear more detailed evidence and arguments for a longer-term solution, such as a temporary injunction. The process for obtaining a TRO in North Dakota usually involves filing a petition with the court, and the TRO may be granted without the other party being present (ex parte). However, a hearing is generally scheduled shortly thereafter to determine if a more permanent injunction is warranted. The specific procedures and requirements for TROs are outlined in the North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure and relevant state statutes.
