What if the Intervention Order is “contested”?
Introduction to Intervention Order video
The Magistrates’ Court of Victoria has developed this mock hearing to inform those involved in intervention order hearings about the court process. The mock hearing is a “contested hearing”, meaning that the respondent is opposing the intervention order application.
