Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-22-7
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
If any application is made to a circuit court judge for a temporary restraining order and refused, no other circuit court judge can act on the application. The application may be made to a judge of the Court of Civil Appeals or Supreme Court; if refused by a judge of the Court of Civil Appeals, it may be renewed to a judge of the Supreme Court, but no other officer, and, if refused by a judge of the Supreme Court, it cannot be renewed. Application to an appellate judge shall be made and acted upon in accordance with the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure.
