  Ex parte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ex parte is a Latin legal term meaning "from (by or for) one party" (IPA pronunciation: [ɛks 'pɑ(r)teɪ] or [ɛks 'pɑ(r)ti]), although the proper Latin pronunciation is [ɛks 'pɑ(r)tə]).
An ex parte decision is one decided by a judge without requiring all of the parties to the controversy to be present.

 VALAC Report: Ex Parte Communications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ex Parte Communications Should be Prohibited to Ensure the Integrity of the Decision-Making Process: Four commenters stated that a limitation on ex parte communications should be implemented to ensure openness in government and to prevent the appearance of impropriety.
To mitigate the effects of ex parte communications, one of these commenters suggested that written communications and summaries of oral communications should be placed in the agency record along with copies of written responses and summaries of oral responses from the agency.
In these cases, clearly communicating agency policies regarding ex parte communications is important both as a matter of fairness to those impacted by and interested in the outcome of the case as well as to preserving public confidence in the integrity of the decision-making process.

 Ex Parté FAQs - Public Adviser - California Energy Commission
"Ex parté contacts" are oral or written communications, direct or indirect, between any party to a pending adjudicatory proceeding and the commissioners, their advisors, or hearing officers concerning any substantive issue involved in the proceeding.
In other words, a party cannot get around the rule against ex parté contacts by speaking to someone who reports to a commissioner instead of directly to the commissioner, or by having someone who is not a party to the proceeding speak to a commissioner or hearing officer on the party's behalf.
If the ex parté communication was oral, the commissioners or hearing officer must include a description of the substance of the communication, the commissioner or hearing officer's response, and the identity of the party that made the communication in the public file of the proceeding.

 The Necessity of Ex Parte Proceedings For Indigent Criminal Defendants
Without an ex parte hearing in which to request expert services, the defendants interest in the fairness and accuracy of the criminal proceeding is also compromised because the state wrongly benefits from what is, in effect, expanded pre-trial discovery.
The value of the ex parte hearing is clear: It ensures that a defendant can present a complete case for expert assistance for the preparation and presentation of his defense without fear of the state unfairly exploiting the information disclosed in the request.
The rationale behind extending ex parte protection to these actions is obvious: Just as the state has no legitimate interest in learning of a request for expert assistance, it has no right to learn of the steps taken by the defense to utilize that assistance.

Ex parte communication is defined as "oral or written, off-the record communication made to or by commissioners or commission decision-making personnel, without notice to parties, that is directed to the merits or outcome of an on-the-record proceeding."
Generally, the ex parte rules prohibit Commissioners from engaging in informal communications with parties that could influence how a case is decided.
If prohibited ex parte communication is attempted, the rules require that the Commissioner involved first attempt to stop the party from engaging in prohibited behavior, then document the attempt and notify the Executive Secretary.

 Criminal Resource Manual 1711 Joint Statement -- Part G. Ex Parte Seizures
The purpose of the ex parte seizure provision is to provide victims of trademark counterfeiting with a means of ensuring that the courts are able to exercise their jurisdiction effectively in counterfeiting cases.
Rather, the sponsors believe that ex parte seizures are a necessary tool to thwart the bad faith efforts of fly by night defendants to evade the jurisdiction of the courts.
The sponsors recognize that ex parte seizure orders are an extraordinary remedy, and that a person that is subject to a wrongful ex parte seizure should be fully compensated by the party who obtained the seizure order.

Although this case is here ex parte, it was not considered by the court below without notice having been given to the party supposed to have an interest in the detention of the prisoner.
Certainly no part of judicial power of the country was conferred on them; because the Constitution expressly vests it 'in one supreme court and such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish,' and it is not pretended that the commission was a court ordained and established by Congress.
If these averments were true (and their truth is conceded for the purposes of this case), the court was required to liberate him on taking certain oaths prescribed by the law, and entering into recognizance for his good behavior.
