A judicial order is a legally binding decision made by a court of law. The term can be broken down into five parts: DECREE (6 letters), BAN (3 letters), GAG (3 letters), WRIT (4 letters), and STAY (4 letters). A DECREE is an authoritative order issued by a court or other legal authority. A BAN is an official prohibition or edict against something. A GAG is an order to keep silent, usually issued by a court. A WRIT is a formal written order issued by a court or other legal authority. Finally, a STAY is an order to suspend a judicial proceeding or stop a particular action from taking place.
