As I stated in this section's introduction page, the genus Canis itself is a rather recent development. Some species of this genus, such as the modern grey wolf, have only come about in the past one million years. Other canids, such as foxes, are older by comparison. The grey fox, Urocyon cinereogenteus is widely considered to be the most primitive canid alive today.
Court order. A court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties to a hearing, a trial, an appeal or other court proceedings. Such ruling requires or authorizes the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case.
Noun. 1. garnishment-a court order to an employer to withhold all or part of an employee's wages and to send the money to the court or to the person who won a lawsuit against the employee. court order-a writ issued by a court of law requiring a person to do something or to refrain from doing something. legal proceeding in which a plaintiff seeks the satisfaction of a debt by obtaining a judgment that directs a third party in possession of the property of the defendant to make it available to satisfy the judgment. b.
