Who may be directed to check compliance with the two protection orders, and what may the court do when the offender fails to comply?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In the practice file we read the copies of the temporary protection order and the victim protection order, any paper in which the court named persons to examine compliance, and the reports those persons sent back.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading gives the court the initiative: the court may have protective investigation officers, court officials, judicial police officers, probation officers and others examine compliance with a temporary protection order or a victim protection order at various times, and require that the results be reported without delay.
Another reading marks the limits: the power is permissive in both paragraphs, the class of persons who may be directed is listed only as examples joined by 'etc.', and the notification runs only where the family violence offender who received the order fails to perform it or comply with its enforcement.
Your judgment
If the offender has not complied, what in the file shows which court was the competent court for the notification to be sent?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who may be directed or to make the notification of the prosecutor mandatory, or if a decision explains which district public prosecutor's office corresponds to the competent court.
