Issue No. 39 - Navigating Protection Orders: Analyzing the Application Process and Precedent Cases in Manitoba
April 2025
A Protection Order is a legal tool intended to safeguard individuals from domestic violence, stalking, and other various types of harassment. It is a court order that forbids the respondent from contacting the applicant. In Manitoba, these orders may be issued without prior notice to the respondent if a designated Justice of the Peace determines that the respondent is committing or has committed domestic violence against the subject or is stalking or has stalked the subject; the subject believes that the respondent will continue or resume the domestic violence or stalking; the situation is serious or urgent, and that there is a reasonable likelihood the respondent will persist in or return to the impugned behaviour.
