A few years have elapsed since the implementation of Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and many significant cases have now been decided. This volume explains the legal principles in the light of these developments, in particular their importance on powers of arrest. The issues of which order is appropriate, what is the relevant procedure and how an order should be enforced are analyzed in detail. In addition, the author examines the likely impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 upon the court's powers.
