Clause 4

The court may issue a Protection Order restraining a person from committing family violence against his family member where it is satisfied on a balance of probabilities that family violence has been or is likely to be committed by that person against that family member.

In the case of a child below 21 years of age or an incapacitated person, an application for a Protection Order may be filed by a guardian or relative or person responsible for the care of such child or incapacitated person, as the case may be, or by an enforcement officer.

An order made under this section may be made subject to such exceptions or conditions as may be specified in the order and for such a term as may be specified.

The court in making a Protection Order may include a provision that the respondent may not incite or assist any other person to commit family violence against the applicant.
