There are many instances when someone would need to obtain a court order. Usually, a court order is necessary when a right may be breached by the action that one requires to be done. In other words, where what is to be done may infringe on another person's rights, or where a third party needs special permission to carry out a task, a court order may be requested or required.

 However, most often, we get more requests for court orders from people who were requested to produce one by a bank. This may be related to various reasons. Many people do not know how to obtain a court order, so they are unable to continue whatever process they have started or some fall victim to charlatans and quacks who exploit them and do not get the job done. This is why we have put up this post to provide basic guidance on how to go about obtaining a court order.

 There are 3 common instances where we are approached for a court order as required by a bank. They are as follows:

The process and cost of obtaining a court order for reversal in each scenario differ in cost, time, effort, and outcome. Also, the approach to solving each issue or getting a court order can be unique to each instance. Sometimes bank staff even mislead and require a court order where it is not needed or where a simple letter or call might resolve the issue. Therefore it is not advisable to assume that whatever one is told at the bank is the correct and final position. The first thing to do is to find out exactly what happened to determine which procedure would guarantee the best outcome. This can only be done during a consultation with a lawyer. During the consultation, information about the transaction would be narrated and the lawyer would advise on the best course of action. 


It is important to note that obtaining a court order is not a simple task. It involves appearing before a judge to justify why that request should be granted. It would also require satisfying the judge by providing evidence that the grant of the order would be the sensible and logical option. Sometimes, a judge might have to be convinced that the option of a court order is the only way to resolve the issue. Thus, getting a court order would take time and cost money.
