A Protection Order is a Court Order, issued by a Magistrate, wherein the perpetrator of the domestic violence is ordered not to commit acts of domestic violence (abuse) against the Complainant. This order is valid and applicable throughout the whole of South Africa, regardless of which court grants it to you. Protection orders can be used on several different occasions for several years without being terminated. The order will only be stopped when you as the complainant and person the order is in favour of, goes to court and cancels or withdraws it. The court also has the power to set the protection order aside. The respondent or person against whom a domestic violence order was granted is able to apply to the court that the order be set aside but this cannot happen until the court is satisfied that you have been notified to come to court where the application to set the order aside will be heard.
