What does ex parte mean Legal?

In legal ethics, ex parte refers to improper contact with a party or a judge. Ethical rules typically forbid a lawyer from contacting the judge or the opposing party without the other party's lawyer also being present. A breach of these rules is referred to as improper ex parte contact.

Can an ex parte order be overturned?

If you want to object to the ex parte order or ask the court to rescind (set aside) or modify the ex parte order, you must file an “OBJECTION TO EX PARTE ORDER AND MOTION TO RESCIND OR MODIFY" form.
