Civil Protective Orders: Requests for Immediate Orders (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee proposes revisions to all civil protective order request forms to clarify that any “immediate order” being sought on those forms is a temporary restraining order (TRO) and to allow parties requesting TROs to indicate whether the request is being made “with notice” to the other party.

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council revise the civil protective order request forms, effective January 1, 2018, as follows:
1. Revise forms CH-100, item 11; EA-100, item 15; GV-100, item 9; SV-100, item 12; and WV-100, item 12, so the petitioner may indicate affirmatively if he or she is requesting a temporary order “with notice”; and
2. Revise the titles of the items in recommendation 1-“Immediate Orders” on the CH and EA forms, “Request for Immediate Temporary Order” on the GV form, and “Request for Immediate Orders Without Notice” on the SV and WV forms-to read “Temporary Restraining Order.”
