What are Rule NISIs?
Rule NISI is a court order requiring an individual to appear in court to "show cause" why a particular action should or should not be granted/ordered. For example, if the Inspections Department has someone that will not clean up around their property, cut the weeds, abandoned vehicles, etc., they do not write citations for that but issue a Rule NISI.
