The breakdown of a relationship is often accompanied by emotions running high. Abusive and sometimes violent behaviour sometimes occurs.

The courts are able to intervene rapidly – and where appropriate without giving prior notice to the perpetrator to provide protective injunctions.

Certain categories of individuals may apply. This includes spouses (and former spouses), co-habitees (and former co-habitees) and individuals who have lived in the same household/enjoyed an “intimate” relationship.

The court has the ability to make two principal classes of Order:-

In determining whether to grant an Order the court must take into account all the circumstances of the case including the parties conduct, the parties respective housing needs and resources and their financial position.

Once in place an injunction must be served upon the other party and can be enforced either by criminal prosecution (non-molestation Order) or by an Application back to the court which granted the injunction to “commit” the offender to prison (non-molestation and occupation Orders).
