As I stated in this section's introduction page, the genus Canis itself is a rather recent development. Some species of this genus, such as the modern grey wolf, have only come about in the past one million years. Other canids, such as foxes, are older by comparison. The grey fox, Urocyon cinereogenteus is widely considered to be the most primitive canid alive today.
Court order. A court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties to a hearing, a trial, an appeal or other court proceedings. Such ruling requires or authorizes the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case.
An order of default is a court order saying that one party (usually the plaintiff) has won the case, and the defendant has lost, because the defendant did not participate in the case. The order of default does not settle the issue of how much money is owed.
