Re: Purge Order
There are many types...generally it's an order related to a person being found in contempt of court. When someone's found in indirect civil contempt the order must say how a person can sort of "correct" his error. Often it's a bond amount required to be paid for someone to get out of jail.

Re: Purge Order
Hello. In the context of your question I regard a purge order as an order in which the court excuses one in contempt of court with the doing of another act. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
