Domestic Violence Appellate Jurisdiction
HUSBAND -v- WIFE
2018
The Appellant (Husband) challenged the decision of Magistrate Maxanne Anderson, who dismissed his application to revoke a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) under Section 22 of the Domestic Violence (Protection Orders) Act 1997. The order, initially issued as a temporary order on 8 September 2016, was finalized on 3 October 2016 for a duration of 12 months. The Appellant filed his application for revocation on 24 August 2017, but the Magistrate dismissed it on 4 October 2017, ruling that the protection order had already expired and that the Court lacked jurisdiction. The Appellant argued that he filed the application before the expiry date and was entitled to have his case heard.
