What is an order to show cause?
An order to show cause is a document issued by a court that orders a person to appear and provide justification for why something should or should not be done. In the context of arbitration law in Kansas, an order to show cause is an order issued by a court requiring the parties to explain why an arbitration award should or should not be enforced. The court may issue an order to show cause if it believes that one of the parties to the arbitration agreement failed to comply with the terms of the agreement, or if the court believes that there is an issue of fact or law that needs to be addressed prior to enforcement. The order to show cause procedure is designed to ensure that both parties have an opportunity to have their arguments heard before the court makes a final decision about the arbitration award.
