Law for Life

What is a Injunction?

An injunction is a legal order issued by the court to protect a person from harm, harassment or unwanted contact. It can:

  • Prevent someone from using or threatening violence

  • Prohibit unwanted contact or communication

  • Exclude a person from entering or living in your home

Injunctions are often sought in situations involving domestic abuse, controlling behaviour or the breakdown of intimate or family relationships.

Types of Injunctions

We can help assess which type of order is most appropriate for your circumstances and act swiftly to protect your safety. We commonly advise on:

Non-Molestation Orders

Designed to prevent a person from harassing, threatening or being violent towards you or your children. A breach of a non-molestation order is a criminal offence.

Occupation Orders

Regulate who can live in or enter a shared home. These orders can exclude someone from the property altogether or limit their access, even if they are the legal owner.
