Who are you? The victim or the alleged accused? And what kind of case? Assuming it is one for harrassment, if you are the victim the likelihood is that any temporary order will be "dissolved" and go away leaving you open to further harrassment. If you are the accused, it will depend on whether the judge upholds whatever temporary order was put in place or not. If you are the accused, you take a risk if the victim made out a case for permanent order and you don't know about it.
