Temporary Restraining Orders and Preliminary Injunctions

Northern California Civil Litigation Information

Resolving a dispute though civil litigation can take years. If you need immediate relief, then you need to apply for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Preliminary Injunction. For certain types of situations, such as domestic violence for example, there are pre-printed forms you can obtain online or possibly from the court which are somewhat self-explanatory, and you may feel comfortable completing and filing the forms yourself.

In business or other more complex matters, you will probably need to apply for a Temporary Restraining Order to get the immediate relief you want. A Temporary Restraining Order is basically a temporary injunction. Injunctions are court orders which usually prohibit one party from doing any number of specific activities. There are also TROs and injunctions which command a party to do something, but those are more rare and difficult to obtain. Usually, an injunction stops something from happening.In business or other more complex matters, you will probably need to apply for a Temporary Restraining Order to get the immediate relief you want.
