34 Grounds for misconduct restraining order
A court may make an MRO if it is satisfied that —
unless restrained, the respondent is likely to —
behave in a manner that could reasonably be expected to be intimidating or offensive to the person seeking to be protected and that would, in fact, intimidate or offend the person seeking to be protected; or
cause damage to property owned by, or in the possession of, the person seeking to be protected; or
behave in a manner that is, or is likely to lead to, a breach of the peace; or
commit an offence under The Criminal Code section 70A(2A);
and
granting an MRO is appropriate in the circumstances.
