Hi Everyone,

We recently attended court as the applicant for a contravention of consent orders. In the application for contravention, our lawyer incorrectly named the location of the breach and therefore the judge stated that she could not convict the respondent due to technicalities. The judge went on to confirm that the respondent had in fact breached the order.

My question is; would we be able to submit a new application for contravention with the correct details so that the respondent is convicted of the contravention?

Thank you in advance.
