Description

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. This form is used by the 5th Sessions Court of Knox County, Tennessee, to require a party—typically a defendant—to appear in court and explain why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with a prior court order or legal process. The order directs law enforcement to summon the individual to appear at a specified date, time, and courtroom to provide justification for their noncompliance. Failure to appear as instructed may result in the court finding the individual in contempt, which can lead to penalties such as fines, arrest, or other consequences. The form also includes checkboxes for the court to indicate the outcome—whether the defendant failed to appear, the matter was dismissed, or the defendant appeared and complied. www.FormsWorkflow.com
