Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

I am unable to accept these amendments, although I understand the motivation for them, because in entertaining an application of this type the court will, as a matter of practice, fix a return date. This is not a matter which requires legislation. This legislation will impose a limit of eight working days. A court which has made an order of this character will, clearly, at the same time make an order as to when the matter is to be returned to the court within that period.
