Overview

Injunctions are court orders which might tell a person that they are not allowed to do a certain act. The common areas in which injunctions are applied are when one party is harassing, threatening or assaulting the other. These injunctions are known as 'Domestic Violence Injunctions'.

Such orders can prevent someone harassing or assaulting you (Non-Molestation Orders) or coming within a certain distance of your home or order someone to leave your home (Occupation Orders).
