Get an injunction if you've been the victim of domestic abuse

After you submit your application

You’ll be given a document called a ‘Notice of Proceedings’ by the court. This tells you when your court hearing will take place.

Telling people about your application

The court will send you back a sealed copy of your application. You must arrange for the sealed copy and your witness statement to be ‘served’ on the person named in the application. This means making sure they get a copy of the documents in person.

Your solicitor will do this if you have one. Or you can ask the court to serve the documents for free by filling in form D89.

Do not serve the documents yourself.
