What protection is available when family violence occurs?

A Personal Protection Order, or PPO, may be applied for when family violence has been committed at home.

A PPO is granted by the Courts, usually after a trial to determine the truth of the matter, where the Court is satisfied that (1) family violence has been committed or is likely to be committed); and (2) a PPO is necessary for the protection of the victim.

Family violence can include physical violence, emotional or psychological abuse, wrongful confinement, and harassment, amongst other behaviours.
