Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
Once such a provision is introduced, it is difficult to set a limit on it. The reason I suspect the Supreme Court did not find favour with the provision on exceptional cases is that it appears to relate to the sociology of the provision rather than giving any guidance on its legal interpretation. For those reasons, I am unable to accept the amendment, although I understand the motivation of those who moved it.
