Thanks for clearing that up Mojo.
It's interesting in reading the article that it's so heavily focused on what the bill doesn't provide for genuine victims of domestic violence.
The caveats are there to protect genuine victims of false allegations otherwise it would open the floodgates further for those who wish to misuse Non Mols and PSOs.
It’s good to get different perspectives, it allows for a more balanced view. I would say though that the number of perpetrators that bully their victims in family court, in the way that is mentioned, is very small... most judges have control of their courtroom.
Far from clearing it up, I’ve muddied the waters! The two links I provided were in response to the original draft bill, which was dropped when the Government called a GE.
There is now a new consultation/draft bill which is what you linked to in your initial post.
It hasn’t yet become law, it has to pass through the legislature/both houses, here’s the summary of the draft bill that you first bought up.
I can only apologise... good job I double checked, which I did because I was bothered that the links I offered were quite old... so went looking again. Phew... sorry again!
