Over recent months, there has been a noticeable increase in applications for non-molestation orders, which are legal measures designed to protect individuals from harassment, intimidation or threats of violence, often during the breakdown of a family relationship.
In a recent video, Daniel Foster Davis from Marlborough Law discusses why we are seeing this rise and what you should know if you are considering applying for protection.
What the Court Considers
When applying for a non-molestation order, the court will look at several key factors, including:
Evidence of molestation, such as harassment, controlling or coercive behaviour, threats or physical violence.
The need for protection, showing that the behaviour has caused, or is likely to cause, distress or harm.
The balance of probabilities, meaning the court decides based on whether it is more likely than not that the behaviour occurred.
Every case is different, and the court will consider all the circumstances before making a decision. That is why it is so important to seek legal advice as early as possible.
