Peace & Good Behaviour

A person may lodge a complaint (Complainant) with the Court with the Magistrates Court, if another person ‘threatens’ (Defendant):

​

1. To assault or to do any bodily injury to the Complaint or any person under the Complainant’s care or charge; or

2. To procure another person to assault or to do any bodily injury to the Complainant or any person under the Complainant’s care or charge; or

3. To destroy or damage any of the Complainant’s property; or

4. To procure another person to destroy or damage any of the Complainant’s property; or

And because of this threat, the Complainant is now in fear of the Defendant.

​

Additionally, a Complainant may also make a complaint if the intentional conduct of the Defendant directed at the Complainant has caused the Complainant to fear that the Defendant will destroy or damage any property of the Complainants.
