What Are Domestic Abuse & Protection Orders?  

Domestic abuse is an umbrella term for any form of controlling, coercive or violent behaviour within the home between partners or family members. This can include physical, verbal, psychological and sexual abuse as well as economic control.  

An interdict or non-harassment order is a legally binding order from a court to protect people from any further harm caused by an abuser. It usually includes various restrictions on the abuser's behaviour such as limiting their contact with the protected person or restricting them from entering certain areas. It is possible to apply for a protection order if you have been a victim of any kind of domestic abuse or harassment. 

What are Interdicts?

An interdict is similar to a non-harassment order but applies more generally rather than specifically to one individual or group. It could involve effective boundaries being put in place around property to stop people entering it without permission, or it could be used instead of an injunction if there has been no physical contact between two people but one person feels threatened or intimidated by another individual’s conduct towards them. 

Restricting Occupancy Rights: What are they?

An order restricting occupancy rights can prevent someone who owns or has a right to live in a property from being there. This will prevent someone who is abusive from living at the property even if they are the owner. It would also protect anyone else who has lived at the property before they left due to fear of harm (known as ‘permitted occupier’).

What Non-Harassment Orders?

Non-harassment orders are used when someone feels harassed, alarmed or distressed by another person’s conduct towards them – even if that person has never threatened violence against them directly. The order will prevent any further contact between two people (in person, via text messages etc.).
