Grant non-molestation orders based on past abuse, not just risk of future harm
We call on the Government to change the law so that non-molestation orders are always granted based on evidence of past domestic abuse, even if there has not been a recent incident. Currently, victims must prove not only that abuse has taken place but that there is an ongoing risk of future harm.
