Ex Party? Ex Parita? Huh...?

[CA_Beneficiary]

What is the name of your state? CA

We're having an "Ex Parita" hearing next Monday to hopefully get an emergency Executor/Trustee in place until our full petition is heard and the appointment of a new Executor/Trustee is more permanent.

What is the correct spelling of this term (Ex Party?), and what is its meaning?

Thanks,

ex parte
(ex par-tay, but popularly, ex party) adj. Latin meaning "for one party," referring to motions, hearings or orders granted on the request of and for the benefit of one party only. This is an exception to the basic rule of court procedure that both parties must be present at any argument before a judge, and to the otherwise strict rule that an attorney may not notify a judge without previously notifying the opposition. Ex parte matters are usually temporary orders (like a restraining order or temporary custody) pending a formal hearing or an emergency request for a continuance. Most jurisdictions require at least a diligent attempt to contact the other party's lawyer of the time and place of any ex parte hearing.
