Injunctions & Non-Molestation Orders

Legal aid injunctions & Non-Molestation Orders are there to protect you by preventing further abuse. They prevent contact from the abusive party. Any breach of this Order is a criminal offence. The offending party is liable to arrest if they break the order.

The Injunctions and Non-Molestation orders can ensure protection from abuse in a number of ways:

• Distancing from the abuser
• Distance from home or employment location
• Preventing contact
• Preventing abusers contact from friends or family

Occupation Orders 

Alongside an injunction, it may also be necessary to seek for an Order. This is to prevent a person from living or returning to the home that the victim of abuse occupies. You can make such an order even if you do not own the home or if the tenancy is not in your name.

As well as these injunctions, you may require other Orders. It may require an Order to prevent the abuser from living or returning to the victim’s home. You can make this order even if the victim is not the homeowner. Or the tenancy of the property is not in the victims name.
