A quick definition of court order:
A court order is a decision made by a judge or other legal authority in a court. It can be given after a hearing or when parties agree to certain terms and ask the court to approve them. A court order is a legal document that must be followed by the people involved in the case.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Court orders are decisions or judgments issued by judicial officers from a court. They can be made after a hearing or when parties have reached an agreement and applied for consent orders.
Examples:
- A judge issues a court order for a defendant to pay a fine for their crime.
- After a divorce settlement, the couple applies for consent orders to make the agreement legally binding.
The first example illustrates a court order made after a hearing, where the judge has made a decision on the punishment for a crime. The second example shows a court order made after parties have reached their own agreement, but need the court to make it legally binding.
