An ex parte order is a court directive issued at the request of one party without prior notice to or argument from the other parties involved in a legal dispute. Such orders are typically granted in urgent situations where immediate action is necessary to prevent irreparable harm or to preserve evidence. They are temporary in nature and usually followed by a full hearing where all parties can present their arguments. This judicial action serves to address pressing circumstances.
