Definition: (ex par-tay, but popularly, ex party) adj. Latin meaning "for one party," referring to motions, hearings or orders granted on the request of and for the benefit of one party only. This is an exception to the basic rule of court procedure that both parties must be present at any argument before a judge, and to the otherwise strict rule that an attorney may not notify a judge without previously notifying the opposition. Ex parte matters are usually temporary orders (like a restraining order or temporary custody) pending a formal hearing or an emergency request for a continuance. Most jurisdictions require at least a diligent attempt to contact the other party's lawyer of the time and place of any ex parte hearing. * The judge decides whether or not a hearing is held ex parte, not the individuals involved in the matter. As noted, it generally involvedsRO/PO's where the order is granted, without the alledged offender being present. The alledged offender must be notified that a TRO has been issued before the order is considered valid. It is not necessary to obtain an attorney to file a restraining order a no contact order or a protective order, all similar actions regulated by the laws of the state in which the complainant resides.

Can a ex parte hearing grant the defendent a new trail in a crimanal hearing?

An ex parte hearing typically involves one party presenting their case to the court without the other party's presence, usually in urgent situations. In criminal cases, such hearings are rare and often limited to specific issues, such as temporary restraining orders or emergency matters. A defendant generally cannot obtain a new trial solely through an ex parte hearing; instead, they would typically need to file a motion for a new trial where both parties can present their arguments. The court then decides based on the merits of the case and applicable legal standards.
