What will happen to me if I ignore an exclusion order?

• If you ignore the conditions of an exclusion order then this is a breach of a court order.
• Breaching a court order is very serious. You may be arrested and charged with an offence of breaching the exclusion order.
• In some cases you may have a legal defence for breaching the order. This might happen where you took reasonable steps not to breach the order and it still happened due to circumstances beyond your control.
• If this sounds like what happened in your case then you should speak to a specialist lawyer who can assist you with your options. Our Phone a Lawyer service may be able to put you in touch with a lawyer for a preliminary consultation.
