Court Order

Definition

A court order is a directive issued by a judicial authority, compelling or prohibiting specific actions. These legal mandates are binding and carry the force of law, requiring compliance from individuals or entities. In the digital asset domain, court orders can direct cryptocurrency exchanges to freeze accounts, compel disclosure of user data, or mandate the return of stolen digital funds. Such orders are essential tools for law enforcement and legal redress in cases involving digital assets.
