what is a tro in law

A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is a type of short-term injunction issued by a court or judge to prevent a party from taking a certain action until the court is able to issue a more enduring order, such as a preliminary injunction. A TRO is a temporary type of restraining order that can be issued by a judge in the state of California. It is a written instruction issued by a court or judge that temporarily protects people from domestic violence. In California, there are three levels of protection available under protective order law: Emergency Protective Order (EPO), Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), and Permanent Restraining Order. A TRO is appropriate for people who are being harassed or those shielded by emergency protective orders that are about to expire. To obtain a TRO, a party must convince the judge that he or she will suffer immediate irreparable injury unless the order is issued. If the judge is convinced that a TRO is necessary, he or she may issue the order immediately, without informing the other parties and without holding a hearing. These orders are intended to be stop-gap measures, and only last until the court holds a hearing on whether or not to grant a preliminary injunction. Judges decisions on whether or not to issue a TRO may not be appealed.
