ABSTRACT
Provisions allowing the court to grant a warrant of arrest on breach of an injunction or making the breach of a civil order a criminal offence remain unimplemented.
1. S3 creates a tort of harassment. 2. Damages (for anxiety and/or financial loss) and
interlocutory injunctions are therefore available for an actual or apprehended breach of s1. In Gina Satvir Singh v (1) Prithvipal Singh Bhakar (2) Dalbir Kaur Bhakar (2006) LTL 11/8/2006 (Unreported elsewhere) Document No.: Case Law – AC0111609 a young Sikh bride who was controlled and harassed by her mother-in law obtained damages of £35,000 for the psychiatric damage suffered.
