Topic: Court order


  
  Court order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties before the court and requires or authorises the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case.
It may be a final order (one that concludes the court action), or an interim order (one during the action).
Some orders, however, are spoken orally by the judge in open court, and are only reduced to writing in the transcript of the proceedings.

ORDER THIS CAUSE came on to be heard for an evidentiary hearing on the Motion for Relief from Judgment filed by Robert and Mary Schlinder ("Respondents") pursuant to the Mandate issued by the Second District Court of Appeal on October 17, 2001 ("Mandate").
The court does not consider the testimony of Dr. Gambone to be relevant to the ultimate decision this court is required to make, confining itself instead to the testimony of the five experts for that purpose.
Incidentally, the court early-on defined "new treatment" to include any treatment that had not been attempted since it did not seem appropriate to foster a debate as to whether or not a treatment discovered five years ago was in fact "new".

 JURIST - Legal Dictionaries
Injunction- A prohibitive order or remedy issued by the court at the suit of the complaining party, which forbids the defendant to do some act which he is threatening or attempting to do.
Mootness usually refers to a court's refusal to consider a case because the issue involved has been resolved prior to the court's decision, leaving nothing that would be affected by the court's decision.
Usually it is an appellate court that remands a case for proceedings in the trial court consistent with the appellate court's ruling.

To the contrary, courts have regularly refused to approve consent decrees in many areas of the law when a court's approval is required.
If the Court were required to approve every proposed decree presented to it, even if the Court had evidence that the government had filed its complaint as part of a sweetheart deal with the defendant, it would be against everything the judicial system stands for and, clearly, an improper infringement on the judicial function.
For example, it is alleged the Court erred in allowing anonymous amici to appear before it because, without knowing the identity of these entities, the Court would be unable to determine whether it held a stock ownership in them and thus be disqualified from considering their comments.

Queensbury, NY — On January 25, 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that taxpayers cannot be compelled by the IRS to turn over personal and private property to the IRS, absent a federal court order.
Without declaring those provisions of the Code unconstitutional on their face, the court, in effect, nullified key enforcement provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, stripping the IRS of much of its power to compel compliance with its administrative demands for personal and private property.
The court went on to say that the federal courts are there to protect taxpayers from an “overreaching” IRS, and that the IRS must go through the federal courts before force can be applied on anyone by the IRS to turn over personal and private property to the IRS.

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was suspended Friday pending the outcome of an ethics complaint for defying a federal court order to move a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building.
"When a court order departs from the law and tells you what you can think and who you can believe in," he said, the judge issuing that order is "telling you to violate your oath.
"The refusal of officers of this court to obey a binding order of a federal court of competent jurisdiction would impair the authority and ability of all of the courts of this state to enforce their judgments," the justices ruled.

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore vowed yesterday to keep a 2½ ton granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the judiciary building in Montgomery, in defiance of a federal appeals court order to have the testimonial removed.
On Tuesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ruled unanimously that the monument must be removed from the judiciary building because it represented a government promotion of a particular religion, in violation of the First Amendment.
Philip Drake, Moore's attorney, said federal courts, along with the three lawyers who sued, have misconstrued the true intent and real meaning of the Constitution, CNN said.
