Given established past serious violence (2005 assault), the trial judge's accepted factual finding of a threatened punch on 2 October 2009, the applicant's alcoholism with risk of relapse, and the applicant's documented vulnerability (illiteracy, cognitive/socioeconomic disadvantage), it was open to the judge under s14 to find a real risk of future harm and to conclude a final protection order was necessary; the appellate court could not say the judge was plainly wrong and dismissed the appeal.
