So, here's the thing: My ex has an intervention order (restraining order) on him with me as the protected person and point 2 of that order states that he cannot permit anyone to follow, stalk, keep me under observation et al.
Without my ex husband's consent and knowledge (supposedly) his lawyer hired a private investigator to follow me. His lawyer has advised police that his client had no knowledge of this act, that the lawyer himself had organised this and that the reason for this was as there is a family court trial approaching.
Police have investigated and advised me that the wording in my ex husband's affidavit, although on first glance it looks like my ex had me followed, it actually reads ... "will also subpoena Mr........ a private investigator who has had (me) under surveillance"
When the police went to arrest my ex for a breach of the intervention restraining order, they were told it was his lawyer who had instructed the PI.
My question: Is this a breach of the Law Society Solicitors conduct rules?
