DR’s de facto partner applied for an Apprehended Domestic Violence order against him. Chris Cole prepared written police representations seeking the police to withdraw the ADVO application prior to the Hearing date.
The matter was listed for Hearing at the Downing Centre Local Court. The Prosecutor reviewed the evidence and obtained instructions to withdraw the Application. The Magistrate then formally withdrew the Application.
This is a very pleasing result for DR, as a successful application would have meant he couldn’t see or go near his daughter.
