Motion versus Order to Show Cause

According to NY Court Help, "Both a motion and an order to show cause are used to ask the court to do something in a case. But, a motion has strict rules about the number of days it can be served before the court date. Many people find it easier to make an order to show cause because the court sets the court date and tells you how to deliver the papers to the other side.

An order to show cause is good to use in an emergency situation. It can often get you into court faster than a motion. It can ask the court for immediate help until the case is back in court, such as stopping a sale of a home, or the taking of money out of your bank account. This is called a stay or a temporary restraining order.

Some people may be afraid that the Judge won’t sign the order to show cause but still want a chance to see the Judge and argue their side. In this case, a motion is a better choice."
