Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what criteria are used to determine when a non-molestation order is the appropriate course of action.
This question was answered on 29th March 2016
Determining when a molestation order is an appropriate course of action is a judicial decision. The court will consider the evidence before it and all the circumstances of each case in determining whether to make a non-molestation order and what duration and conditions to set out. The court also has the power to make a non-molestation order on its own initiative in any family proceedings if it considers it would be of benefit to any party or relevant child.
