HOW DO YOU FIGHT AN INTERVENTION ORDER

• Applying for Intervention Order

2
Introduction-

• An intervention order is a court order that
  imposes restrictions on how you can act towards
  the protected person. It is civil in nature and
  does not result in a criminal record. However,
  breaking the conditions imposed will lead to
  criminal liability. Hence, it is necessary for
  you to weigh your options should an intervention
  order be applied against you.

HERE ARE YOUR OPTIONS FOR CONTESTING AN
INTERVENTION ORDER

• You can attend the hearing and agree to the
  intervention order but disagree with the
  allegations made by the applicant. This is called
  consenting without admissions. If you can live
  with the conditions set in the order then you can
  accept it, without admitting the accusations made
  by the applicant. The court will just issue an
  order without determining if you are guilty or
  not.

• You can attend the hearing and propose an
  undertaking instead of an order. An undertaking
  is written promise to act in a certain way. This
  option is more advantageous because breaking an
  undertaking will not result in criminal
  liability, unless you commit an offence.

• You can attend and request for a contested
  hearing. A date will be set for a hearing where
  you can present evidence and oppose the
  allegations made by the applicant. The court will
  then decide on whether the order is appropriate
  based on the evidence submitted by the parties.

• If you failed to attend the hearing or if you
  attended but do not agree with the conditions set
  in the order, you may file an appeal within 30
  days from the date of issue of the order. The
  registrar will set the case for rehearing and you
  will be given a chance to oppose the intervention
  order.
