<p>Non-molestation orders are made by the court to protect individuals from the harm
of domestic violence. They can, where necessary, extend to protect children.</p><p>Non-molestation
applications are either made ‘without notice’ to the respondent, (formerly known as
ex-parte applications) usually if the applicant is seeking immediate protection, or
‘on notice’ to the respondent.</p><p> </p><p>The number of applications for non-molestation
orders made in each of the last five years, split into ‘without notice’ and ‘with
notice’ applications, is shown in table 1. For the same period, and in the same way,
table 2 lists the number of applications for non-molestation orders declined and table
3 lists the number of non-molestation orders made. The data covers <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_and_Wales"
