§ 34-18-6. Temporary restraining orders — Ex parte proceedings.
(a) No temporary restraining order shall be granted without notice to the adverse party
unless it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or by the verified
complaint that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the
applicant before notice can be served and a hearing had thereon. Every temporary restraining
order granted without notice shall be endorsed with the date and hour of issuance;
shall be filed forthwith in the clerk's office and entered of record; and shall expire
by its terms within such time after entry, not to exceed ten (10) days, as the court
fixes, unless within the time so fixed, the order by consent or for good cause shown
and after hearing of argument by the parties or counsel, is extended for an additional
period. In case a temporary order is granted without notice, the motion for a preliminary
injunction shall be set down for hearing at the earliest possible time and shall be
given precedence over all matters except older matters of the same character; and
when the motion comes on for hearing, the party who obtained the temporary restraining
order shall proceed with the application for a preliminary injunction, and, if he
or she does not do so, the court shall dissolve the temporary restraining order.
(b) On two (2) days' notice to the party who obtained the temporary restraining order
without notice, or on such shorter notice to that party as the court may prescribe,
the adverse party may appear and move its dissolution or modification, and in that
event the court shall proceed to hear and determine such motion as expeditiously as
the ends of justice require.
(c) Every order granting an injunction and every restraining order shall be specific in
terms; shall describe in reasonable detail the act or acts sought to be restrained;
and is binding only upon the parties to the action, their officers, agents, managers,
employees, and attorneys, and upon those persons in active concert or participation
with them who receive actual notice of the order by personal service or otherwise.
