Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
Another issue I would like to take up is the deletion of the words "exceptional circumstances" and their replacement by the words "having regard to the circumstances of the particular case." People are concerned by the removal of the phrase. It gave the respondent an opportunity to know for sure the case being taken against him or her. We should retain those words.
