Civil restraint orders
A Civil Restraint Order (CRO) is an order issued against people who have had more than one court claim or application dismissed or struck out for being totally without merit. Details of these orders are published as a matter of public record. The order prevents that person from issuing further claims or making applications in some or all of the county courts in England and Wales and also in the High Court, without first getting the permission of the judge named in the order.
If the Judge Orders a General Civil Restraint Order (GCRO), the order is applicable to all the county courts and the high court.
If the Judge orders an Extended Civil Restraint Order (ECRO), the order is limited to a specified group of courts.
