Make all injunctions free for those who are victims of domestic violence.
My mum had been a victim of domestic violence for 20 years. A painful journey it had been. After finding the courage to leave she looked into implementing an injunction which was charged at £130 for each year.
Victims are being left with an impossible choice save themselves or pay for the letter.
Injunction - An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a court order that compels a party to do or refrain from specific acts. A party that fails to comply with an injunction faces criminal or civil penalties, including possible monetary sanctions and even imprisonment. They can also be charged with contempt of court
Wikipedia (2016) 'Injunction' available from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injunction
