judicial order
Judge's binding directive
A judicial order is a directive issued by a judge or court that commands or authorizes specific action.
Orders may require someone to appear in court, compel testimony, freeze assets, or grant temporary relief: The judge issued a judicial order blocking the merger.
Unlike a judgment, which resolves a case, an order typically addresses procedural matters or interim measures during litigation.
