YEJ v YEK

YEJ v YEK

The applicant's allegations, even if accepted, did not establish the necessity of a PPO because the parties were living apart, the applicant had cut off contact and taken precautions, and no evidence demonstrated a real likelihood of future violence; therefore a PPO was not necessary and the application was dismissed, with dependent reliefs (NCO, CGO, MTO) failing as a consequence.
