Court. We Had a client who was going out with a Woman who Lived Next Door To His Mother, So mum Goes down to The registrar's Counter at the Local Magistrate's Court and gets an Interim intervention Order Served On Her son.
We advised Our Client to Consent to the 12 Month Intervention order without Admission Because it would Cost him Over a Thousand Dollars to Contest It and it would be 3 Months before The matter Could be Heard by a magistrate at The Court. Our Client didn't Really have any Other Options. If He wants a relationship with this woman He'll have to do it at Least 200 Metres away from His Mother's Place or until the Mother accept's her Son's Relationship with Her Next Door Neighbour and they have the Order Revoked.
These Types of situation's happen Regularly in Victorian Magistrate's Court's, The Defendant doesn't really want to spend his hard Earned Money on an Expensive Contested Hearing and The Magistrate doesn't want to sit through a Contested Hearing and Usually advises the Defendant To Consent Without admission to the order anyway.
As One magistrate Commented, I don't really want to become Bogged Down with Contested Hearings.
