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.

Injunctions FAQs

Will an injunction show on my record?2025-08-11T13:00:09+01:00

An injunction itself won’t appear on a basic background check. However, if breached, any resulting criminal conviction will.

Can I remove or challenge an injunction?2025-08-11T12:59:56+01:00

Yes. If you believe an injunction was made unfairly or circumstances have changed, you can apply to the court to vary or discharge it.

Can I get an injunction without telling the other person first?2025-08-11T12:59:43+01:00

Yes. In emergencies, a court may grant a ‘without notice’ order if there is an immediate risk to your safety.

What is a non-molestation order?2025-08-11T12:59:12+01:00

A court order that protects you from harassment, threats or violence by a partner or ex-partner. Breaching the order is a criminal offence.

How long does an injunction last?2025-08-11T12:59:25+01:00

Typically between six to 12 months, though the court can make shorter or longer orders depending on the situation.
