Terms Used In Indiana Code 32-35-2-13

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
  • 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.
   Sec. 13. Under any of the circumstances set forth in this chapter, or instead of the immediate issuance of an order of possession under this chapter, the judge may, in addition to issuing a preliminary order, issue a temporary restraining order directed to the defendant prohibiting certain acts with respect to the property if the issuance of the order appears to be necessary for the preservation of the rights of the parties and the status of the property.
