Peace & good behaviour orders

Practical advice for complainants and respondents alike.

A Peace and Good Behaviour Order is made by a Magistrates Court and requires a person to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, commonly where threats of violence or property damage have been made between people who are not in a domestic relationship.

Whether you are seeking the protection of an order or responding to an application made against you, the practical and legal consequences are real, and a measured, well-prepared approach makes a difference.

How we help

  • Advising complainants on whether an order is the right step
  • Representing respondents who wish to oppose an application
  • Negotiating undertakings as an alternative to a contested hearing
  • Appearing at hearings in the Magistrates Court
Related to a domestic relationship?

If the parties are in a domestic relationship, a domestic violence protection order may be the more appropriate path. We can advise on the right course for your circumstances.
