Jokes of the Week Can’t Eat Soup
Old man comes into a restaurant,
sits at his usual table, and orders
the usual — matzoh ball soup.
The waiter sets it down in front of
him, and stands back to watch him
enjoy it. But the man just sits there.
“Is there something wrong?” the
waiter asks.
“I can’t eat this soup,” the man
replies.
“Is it too hot?” the waiter asks. “No.”
“Too cold?” “No.” “Too salty?” “No.”
The waiter calls for the maitre d’,
and for the chef, and each goes
through the same routine: “Too
hot?” “Too cold?” “No, no no.”

Finally the chief, at his wits end,
says, “Sir, I will taste the soup

Says the old man: “A-ha!”
Book, Book , Book!
Chicken marches into the library,
walks up to the library desk, and
says: “Book, book, BOOK!”
The librarian hands over a a couple
of slim children’s paperbacks, and
watches the chicken as it leaves
the library, walks across the street,
through a field, and disappears
down the hill.
Next day, the chicken is back.
Walks right up to the librarian,
drops the books on her desk, and
says, “Book, Book, BOOK, BOOK!”
The librarian hands over a few
books and again watches the
chicken drag them away.
The next day, the chicken comes
for a third time. Drops the books on
the desk, and says, “Book, Book,
Book, BOOK!!”
This time, once the chicken is out

across the street, through a field,
and down the hill to a small pond.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Green Living Tips Litter Awareness
News from Geof’s Bird’s Nest
As we look around our beautiful
country we all too often see plastic
bottles, cans, glass bottles,
polystyrene containers and cups,
plastic, paper and a whole lot of
other rubbish littering our streets,
our parks, alongside our highways,
our neighbourhoods, our shopping
areas, our ocean and many other
places in our environment.
No waste company can keep a
town or city clean when residents
litter and dump illegally randomly. If
residents join in, in cleaning up their
environment and then keep it clean,
we win because we have a cleaner,
safer and more hygienic city or
town.
Why put your litter in the bin?
We have a male Narcissus Flycatcher making lots of loud “LOOK AT ME “ noises on the track just South of
Trannies beach. These birds come from Japan and usually winter in the Philippines. We also had two
females on Home Island in the first week of December. The only other Narcissus Flycatchers to be see in
Australia was a pair on Barrow Island off Western Australia in 2009.

Litter left on the ground is
unsightly.

Wind picks up litter left on the
ground and blows it around.

It blows it into other areas.
It blows it into areas that
people care about.

It makes the environment
around us look ugly and
uncared for.

It gets into our waterways
and negatively affects the
quality of our water and
kills the fish. It also
breeds illnesses, breeds
rats, effects birds and
other animals, and causes
many other problems in
our environment.

Areas filled with litter look
like they are unattended
to. Very often this attracts
criminals because
unattended areas are
easier targets.


Litter put into bins can be
collected more efficiently by
the garbage collectors—
whether municipal garbage
collectors or those that empty
the bins at parks, sports fields,
shopping centre or anywhere
else.
Imagine it is your turn at home to
wash the dishes. Your family
doesn't put their crockery and
cutlery in the sink, but they leave
each item lying around the house.
You would need to go around and
collect each plate, dish, cup, knife,
fork, glass before you can wash the
dishes. It's still your job to wash the
dishes, only it takes longer and is
more effort because no one helps
by putting all the dishes in the sink.
So let's be respectful and assist by
putting our litter in the bin.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Parrotfish are one of the most colourful and interesting types of fish found on coral reefs around the world. Close relatives of the
wrasse, there are about 80 identified species, ranging in size from 30 to 120 cm in length. The largest parrotfish is the Humphead
parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum), also known as the Bumphead parrotfish, which can be seen in the waters surrounding
Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Parrotfish are named after their teeth which are fused together to form a parrot-like beak with which they rasp algae from coral
and other rocky substrates. The feeding activity of parrotfish is extremely important for coral reef systems. During feeding, teeth
found in the back of their throat grind up coral and algae. After they digest the edible portions, they excrete the remainder as
sand, helping to create the sandy bottoms often associated with coral reefs. Some scientists have calculated that up to 30% of
the coral sand you see around coral reefs is in fact old parrotfish poo!
A number of parrotfish species secrete a mucus cocoon around themselves at night time, almost like a sleeping bag, that protects
them from parasites. The mucus cocoon may also act as an early warning system, allowing the parrotfish to escape when it
detects predators such as moray eels disturbing the membrane.
Under the proposed recreational fishing rules for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Humphead Parrotfish will have a bag limit of one
per day and will be included in the mixed species demersal bag limit of 16 fish per day. All other species of Parrotfish are included
in the mixed species demersal bag limit of 16 fish per day.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) KAPTUA
Kaptua adalah salahsatu jenis ikan yang paling berwarna-warni dan menarik diseluruh dunia. Sahabat dekat dengan ikan hiju,
ada 80 jenis yang dikenalpasti, mulai dari ukuran 30 hingga 120cm panjangnya. Jenis kaptua paling besar ialah Dongol
(Bolbometopon muricatum), juga dikenali sebagai kaptua ‘Bumphead’, yang boleh dilihat dilautan sekitar Pulu Christmas dan
Cocos (Keeling).
Kaptua dimanakan sebab gigi mereka tesambung sama-sama seperti gigi patok burung parrot untuk mengigit karang dan batubatuan. Aktiviti makan kaptua sangat penting untuk system batukarang. Dimasa mereka makan, gigi yang didapati dibelakang
gorokan mereka menghaluskan karang dan lumut. Setelah melewati perot mereka dan disaring bahgian makanannya, mereka
membuat pasir, membantu buat tanah berpasir yang biasa berkenaan dengan batu-karang. Ada scientists telah merekenkan
yang hingga 30% pasir karang yang dilihat adalah najis dulu dari kaptua!
Ada berberapa kaptua membuang ingus yang menjadi sarang yang menyelimutkan diri mereka dimasa malam, seperti ‘sleeping
bag’, yang menjaga mereka dari parasites. Sarang ingus juga bertindak sebagai ’warning system’, yang mengizinkan kaptua
untuk melarikan diri bila mengetahui ada binatang lain seperti lendong moray yang mengganggu sarangnya.
Dibawa rencana undang-undang pemancingan rekreasi untuk Pulu Cocos (Keeling), Kaptua akan mempunyai limit bag satu
dalam sehari dan akan temasuk dalam bag campuran dengan limitnya 16 sehari. Semua jenis kaptua temasuk dalam jenis-jenis
bag limit ikan demersal terbatas 16 ikan sehari.

Public Notices Notis‐notis Umum Why you must keep your vehicle registered
These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for your
situation.
Every owner of a motor vehicle (eg car, motor bike, quad bike) or trailer must keep their vehicle registered. This is also called having a current licence
for your vehicle. There are two very important reasons for doing this.
The first is that it is a criminal offence to drive an unregistered (unlicensed) vehicle. If you do so, the penalty is a fine up to $500 plus an extra monetary penalty of an amount equivalent to the cost of 6 months’ registration for that vehicle. In addition, you must register the vehicle before you drive it
again. Any other person who drives your unregistered vehicle also commits an offence.
The second extremely important reason is because when you register your vehicle, you, and anyone else who is driving your vehicle, get insurance if
you or they injure or kill someone when driving your vehicle. This type of insurance does not cover you for any property damage you cause to another
vehicle or other property. You need to get another type of insurance for that.
When you pay the registration (licence) fee for your vehicle, part of this registration fee is to insure you and anyone driving your vehicle for any claim
against you or them for injuring or killing someone if you or they drive the vehicle negligently. Negligence is where you don’t take reasonable care and
cause someone loss and injury.
An example might be where you are driving, while looking down at your phone and texting, and because you are not looking at the road, you run over
a person beside the road and cause them serious injury. You have been negligent in your driving because you were not taking reasonable care (and
in this case you have also committed a criminal offence).
A claim against you for injuring someone due to your negligent driving is called a “third party personal injury claim.”
The person injured can make a claim against you for all of the loss and damage they have suffered because of your mistake when you were driving. A
claim can even reach hundreds of thousands of dollars if the person is badly injured. For example, they may have a permanent disability and/or lose
their job because they can no longer work, or have to take lower paid work because of their injuries.
When your vehicle is registered and you are therefore insured, and have not done anything that cancels your insurance (see below) the Insurance
Commission of Western Australia (ICWA) will pay for all the loss and damage (called “damages”) if you have injured a person through your negligent
driving. So you do not have to pay.
If you have not registered your vehicle, and injure someone through your negligent driving and cause them loss and damage, ICWA may have to pay
the person injured for their loss and damage. However, ICWA can then force you to repay ICWA. Or you may have to pay the person directly. This
can cost you up to several hundred thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of the injury and loss and damage caused.
When you buy a vehicle, or are given one as a gift, you must make sure that it is registered before driving or riding it. You should get the registration
papers. Even if you just drive or borrow someone else’s vehicle, you should always make sure that it is registered before driving it.
It is also very important to know that there are some ways in which you can void or cancel your vehicle’s third party personal injury insurance (which
means it no longer covers you). This happens if you breach (break) important terms of the insurance. Some ways in which you can breach the terms
are if you:





are driving above the legal blood alcohol level
use the vehicle for something other than you claim when you register it
do not report an accident that injures or kills someone to ICWA
are unlicensed to drive
drive your vehicle when it is damaged or unsafe.
If you are involved in an accident in a vehicle which causes someone injury or death, you must write to ICWA straight away (whether your vehicle is
registered or unregistered) and advise it of:






there has been an accident
the date, time and place of the accident
the registration/licence plate details of all vehicles involved
the names and addresses of all people involved
the names and addresses of any witnesses
what happened.
Another important thing to know is that if you drive someone else’s vehicle without their permission and cause injury to someone, you are not covered
by the third party personal injury insurance attached to the vehicle. Again, you may end up being liable for thousands of dollars. You have also committed an offence of stealing.
In summary, always only drive a registered vehicle, never use a vehicle without the owner’s permission and never breach the terms of third party personal injuries insurance.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Kenapa kamu mesti tetap rejista kereta/motosekel kamu
Ini adalah artikel-artikel pendek tentang perkara-perkara legal yang mungkin kamu berminat. Ia bukannya nasihat undang-undang. Kamu harus selalu
mendapati nasihat undang-undang untuk keadaan kamu.
Semua pemilik kereta (contohnya kereta, motosekel, moto roda empat) atau trailer mesti rejista semua kereta-kereta mereka. Ini juga dipanggil lesen
untuk kereta-kereta kamu. Ada dua sebab yang penting untuk berbuat demikian.
Pertama, kalau membawa kereta tanpa direjista adalah kesalahan kriminal. Kalau kamu buat sedemikian, dendanya hingga melebihi $500 dengan
tambahan denda yang berjumlah sama dengan ongkos rejistresen 6 bulan untuk kereta itu. Dengan tambahnya, kamu mesti rejista kereta itu sebelom
kamu membawaknya lagi. Orang lain yang membawak kereta kamu yang tidak direjistaini juga membuat pelanggaran.
Kedua ada sebab yang sangat penting olehkerana bila kamu rejista kereta kamu, kamu, dang sesiapa yang membawak kereja kamu, mendapat
insurance jika kamu atau mereka celakakan atau membunuh seseorang bila sedang memandu kereta kamu. Jenis insurance ini tidak melindung
kamu untuk segala kerusakkan yang kamu menyebabkan terhadap kereta atau harta orang lain. Kamu perlu insurance lain untuk itu.
Bila kamu membayar rejistresen (lesen) untuk kereta, sebahgian ongkos ini untuk melindungi kamu dan sesiapa yang membawa kereta kamu untuk
tuntutan terhadap kamu atau mereka untuk melukai atau membunuh seseorang jika kamu atau mereka membawa kereta kamu secara ceroboh.
Satu contoh ialah bila kamu memandu kereta, lagi tunduk untuk memandang talipun kamu dan texting, dan sebab itu kamu tidak memandang jalan,
kamu terlanggar orang ditepi jalan dan menyebabkan kecederaan berat. Kamu telah ceroboh dalam membawak kereta kerana kamu tidak
membawak kereta sewajarnya (dan dalam kes ini kamu telah melakukan kesalahan kriminal).
Tuntutan terhadap kamu kerana mencelakakan orang bersebabkan kecerobohan kamu dipanggil “third party personal injury claim.”
Orang yang cedera boleh membuat tuntutan terhadap kamu untuk semua kerugian dan kerusakkan yang mereka mengalami olehkerana kesalahan
kamu bila kamu membawak kereta. Tuntutan boleh hingga ratusan ribu dollar jika orang itu terluka parah. Contohnya, mereka mungkin ada
kecacatan seumur hidup dan/atau kehilangan kerjaan sebab mereka tidak boleh lagi kerja, atau harus mengambil kerjaan yang gajinya sedikit kerana
kecederaan mereka.
Bila kereta kamu direjita dan kerana itu kamu ada insurance, dan belom berbuat apapa yang membatalkan insurance kamu (lihat dibawa) Insurance
Commission of Western Australia (ICWA) akan membayar semua kerugian dan kerusakkan (dipanggil “damages”) jika kamu mencelakakan
seseorang bersebabkan kamu membawa kereta secara ceroboh.
Kalau kamu tidak rejista kereta kamu, dan mencelakakan seseorang kerana kecerobohan kamu membawak kereta dan menyebabkan kerugian dan
kerusakkan, ICWA berkemungkinan boleh membayarkan orang itu untuk kerugian dan kerusakkan mereka. Tetapi, ICWA boleh memaksa kamu
untuk mengganti rugi ICWA. Atau kamu mesti bayar orang itu secara langsung. Ini boleh memasuki berberapa ratusan ribu dollar, tegantung kepada
teruknya kecederaan, kerugian dan kerusakkan yang telah disebabkan.
Bila kamu membeli kereta, atau dikasi sebagai hadiah, kamu mesti pastikan kereta/motosekel itu direjista sebelom dibawak. Kamu mesti mengambil
kertas salinan rejistresen. Walaupun kamu hanya membawak atau meminjam kereta orang lain, kamu selalu mesti pastikan yang direjista sebelom
membawaknya.
Ini juga penting untuk diketahui yang ada berberapa cara yang kamu boleh membatalkan insurance kecederaan peribadi “third party” (yang bermakna
ianya tidak akan dilindungkan). Ini terjadi bila kamu melanggar atau membatalkan syarat-syarat penting dalam insurance itu. Cara-cara yang kamu
boleh membatalkan syarat-syarat kamu ialah kalau kamu:





membawak kereta dengan arak dalam darah yang melebihi batas
menggunakan kereta untuk sesuatu selain daripada apa yang kamu tuntut bila kamu rejistanya
tidak melaporkan kepada ICWA tentang kecelakaan yang mencederakan atau membunuh seseorang
tidak mempunyai lesen untuk membawak kereta
membawak kereta kamu bila rusak atau membahayakan.
Kalau kamu terlibat dalam kemalangan dalam kereta yang menyebabkan kecelakaan atau kematian seseorang, kamu mesti menulis kepada ICWA
dengan segera (tidak kira kereta kamu direjista ataupun tidak) dan memberitahu:






yang telah ada kecelakaan
tarikh, masa dan tempat kecelakaan itu
keterangan rejistresen/plate lesen semua kereta yang terlibat
nama dan alamat semua orang-orang yang terlibat
nama-nama dan alamat semua saksi
apa yang berlaku.
Sesuatu penting untuk diketahui juga ialah kalau kamu membawak kereta orang lain tanpa izin mereka dan menyebabkan kecelakaan kepada
seseorang, kamu tidak dilindungi oleh insurance kecederaan peribadi “third party” yang berkaitan dengan kereta itu. Sekali lagi, kamu
berkemungkinan bertanggungjawab terhadap beribuan dollar. Kamu juga telah melakukan pelanggaran mencuri.
Ringkasnya, selalu bawak kereta yang direjista, jangan sekali-sekali membawak kereta orang lain tanpa izin mereka dan jangan sekali-sekali
melanggar syarat-syarat insurance kecederaan peribadi “third party”.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Restraining orders law II – Misconduct restraining orders and breaching restraining orders
These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always
obtain individual legal advice for your situation.
The first article was about violence restraining orders and police orders and this article will be about misconduct
restraining orders and breaching (breaking) any type of restraining order.
Misconduct restraining orders
Misconduct restraining orders are orders of the Magistrates Court or Children’s Court to stop intimidating or
offensive behaviour towards you (eg swearing at you, shouting at you, calling you ugly names, dropping rubbish in
your yard) or damage to your property. However, you need to know that if someone behaves like this towards you
and you are, or have been, in a family and domestic relationship with them (eg present or former spouse or de
facto spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, child or other family member, flatmate) then you cannot apply for a misconduct
restraining order against them – you must apply for a violence restraining order.
A misconduct restraining order, like a violence restraining order, will usually stop a person from communicating with
you in any way (eg speaking to you in the street, telephoning you, sending you letters, emails or text messages,
contacting you through social media), or coming near you, or coming near where you live or work.
Misconduct restraining orders are most often obtained against neighbours, work colleagues, acquaintances, or
former friends. Sometimes they are obtained against another child or children if there has been offensive or
intimidating behaviour towards your child, but the behaviour is not serious enough for your child to have a violence
restraining order. But note that a misconduct restraining order cannot be made against a child under 10 years of
age.
You can apply for a misconduct restraining order through the Magistrates Court (or the Children’s Court if the
person you want one against is a young person under 18 years of age and or you are under 18 years of age). The
application will be listed in the Court usually a few of weeks from the time of filing your application. On Christmas or
Cocos Islands, it will be listed on the next occasion that the Magistrate is coming and the Court is sitting.
Unlike a violence restraining order application, you are not given the opportunity to ask the Court for an interim
order first. This is because the behaviour about which you are complaining is not usually as serious and dangerous
as behaviour that would give you a violence restraining order.
The person you are applying against (called the “respondent”) will be given a summons to come to Court on the
date that the Court has listed the matter.
If the respondent comes to Court on that date and objects to an order being made, the matter will make its way to a
trial (a hearing), usually at the next Court sitting date. This is where the Magistrate, after hearing all the evidence,
decides whether you should be given a misconduct restraining order. If the respondent decides not to come to
Court even though he/she has been given a summons, you can give your evidence and ask the Court for an order
in the absence of the respondent.
A misconduct restraining order against an adult is usually for 1 year, or it can be for less. A misconduct restraining
order against a child cannot be for longer than 6 months. If you think that you need a misconduct restraining order
against someone, seek legal advice.
Healthy Living Tips The hardest part of an exercise
routine is getting started. Once
you've established a regular
pattern of exercise, you'll find
yourself following it.
First of all, exercise will only
become a habit if it's fun! Pick
something you will enjoy doing.
If you like being with a group of
people, try a team sport like
basketball or soccer.
You don't have to be a super
athlete. Anyone can exercise.
Social activities like dancing and
mall-walking are also good. If
you're more of a loner, try
bicycling or swimming.
Don't kid yourself. Be honest
about what you realistically
think you can do. If you have
always hated to climb stairs,
step aerobics
probably isn't for you. Maybe a
walk around the neighbourhood
would be more pleasant. Many
people today are walking toward
fitness.
Consider your current state of
physical fitness. If you haven't
exercised in years, you'll
definitely want to start with
some modest activities. As you
get adjusted, you can increase
your activity.
Consider your schedule. Are you
a morning person? Then plan to
exercise in the morning. If you're
addicted to your snooze button,
plan to exercise in the evening.
Start with just a small block of
time, maybe fifteen minutes. As
you get into your routine, you
probably won't mind increasing
to twenty, and then thirty,
minutes.
In order to be effective, you'll
need to repeat your exercise
routine 3 or 4 times per week.
Finally, take it easy. Make sure
that you exercise intelligently
and cautiously. Exercise should
improve your health, not risk it.
Breaching (breaking) any type of restraining order
If the other party (called the “person bound”) breaches a restraining order, this is a criminal offence. You can ask
the Police to charge him or her with breaking the restraining order.
The penalty for breaching a violence restraining order, or a police order, can be a fine of up to $6,000 and/or up to
2 years imprisonment. The penalty for breaking a misconduct restraining order is a fine up to $1,000.

Public Notices (cont’d) Notis‐notis Umum (seterusnya) Undang-undang Perintah Pertahanan (Restraining orders) II – Perintah Pertahanan Kelakuan Buruk dan Pelanggaran Perintah Pertahanan
Ini adalah artikel-artikel pendek tentang perkara-perkara menurut undang-undang yang mungkin ada yang berminat. Ia bukan nasihat undangundang. Kamu harus selalu mendapatkan nasihat undang-undang tersendiri untuk keadaan kamu.
Artikel yang pertama berkenaan perintah pertahanan keganasan dan perintahan polis dan artikel ini akan berkenaan perintah pertahanan kelakuan
buruk dan pelanggaran (membatalkan) jenis-jenis perintah pertahanan.
Perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk
Perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk adalah perintah daripada Magistrates Court atau Children’s Court untuk memberhentikan tingkah laku yang
menakutkan atau menyinggung kamu atau kelakuan yang menyakitkan (contohnya memaki terhadap kamu, menjerit terhadap kamu, memanggil
kamu nama-nama yang buruk, meninggalkan sampah dalam tempat kamu) atau merusakkan harta kamu. Walaubagaimanapun, kamu perlu tahu
yang kalau ada orang bersikap sedemikian terhadap kamu dan kamu sudah, atau pernah, dalam keluarga dan perhubungan rumahtangga dengan
mereka (contohnya pasangan sekarang atau dahulu, tunangan, anak atau orang daripada keluarga, tempat tempat tinggal) jadi kamu tidak boleh
memohon untuk perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk terhadap mereka - kamu mesti memohon untuk perintah pertahanan keganasan.
Sebuah perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk, seperti perintah pertahanan keganasan, akan biasa berhentikan seseorang untuk berkomunikasi
dengan kamu secara apapun (contohnya bicara dengan kamu dijalanan, menelefon kamu, mengirim kamu surat, email atau pesanan, menghubungi
kamu melalau social media), atau datang mendekati kamu, atau datang ditempat tinggal atau tempat kerja kamu.
Perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk biasa dimintak terhadap jiran-jiran, teman kerja, orang kenalan, atau teman dahulu. Kadang-kadang ia didapati
terhadap anak-anak lain atau anak-anak yang telah bersikap menyakitkan atau menakutkan anak kamu, tetapi sikap ini belom serious untuk anak
kamu mengadakan perintah pertahanan keganasan. Tetapi ingat yang perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk tidak boleh dibuat terhadap anak-anak
dibawah umur 10 tahun.
Kamu boleh memohon untuk perintah perintahan kelakuan buruk melalui Magistrates Court (atau Children’s Court kalau seseorang itu memerlukan
untuk seorang muda dibawa umur 18 tahun dan/atau kamu masih dibawa 18 tahun). Pemohonan akan didaftarkan dalam mahkamah biasanya
berberapa minggu daripada masa yang dilaporkan. Di Pulu Christmas atau Cocos, ia akan didaftarkan untuk pelawatan bilamasa Magistrate datang
dan Mahkamah diadakan.
Berlainan dengan perintah pertahanan keganasan, kamu tidak diberi peluang untuk memintak kepada Mahkamah untuk pemerintahan pertahanan
yang sementara dahulu. Ini bersebabkan kelakuan yang kamu melaporkan biasanya bukan serious dan merbahayakan olehkerana kelakuan itu akan
memberikan kamu dengan perintah pertahanan keganasan.
Orang yang kamu melaporkan ( dinamakan “respondent”) akan diberi ‘summons’ untuk hadir di Mahkamah pada hari yang Mahkamah telah
menetapkan untuk perkara ini.
Kalau ‘respondent’ datang di Mahkamah pada tarikh tersebut dan memlawan perintahan yang dibuat, perkara ini akan diteruskan ke ‘trial’ , biasanya
dihari lain yang ditetapkan oleh Mahkamah. Ini bilamasa Magistrate, setelah mendengarkan semua bukti, memutuskan antara kamu mesti diberikan
perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk atau tidak. Kalau ‘respondent’ tidak datang ke Mahkamah walaupun telah diberikan ’summons’, kamu boleh
memberikan bukti kamu dan memintak Mahkamah untuk perintah pertahanan ini tanpa ada ‘respondent’ itu.
Sebuah perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk terhadap orang dewasa biasanya satu tahun, atau kurang daripada itu. Perintah pertahanan kelakuan
buruk terhadap anak-anak tidak boleh lebih daripada 6 bulan. Kalau kamu rasa kamu memerlukan perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk terhadap
seseorang, cari nasihat undang-undang.
Pelanggaran (membatalkan) perintah pertahanan
Kalau pihak sebelah (dipanggil “person bound”) melanggar perintah pertahanan, ini adalah kesalahan jenayah. Kamu boleh memintak Police untuk
mendakwa dia sebab melanggar perintah pertahananya.
Denda pelanggaran perintah pertahanan, atau perintahan police, boleh memasuki dengan $6,000 dan/atau dipenjara 2 tahun. Dendaan untuk
melanggar perintah pertahanan kelakuan buruk adalah denda $1,000.
