I had an interim apvo made against me in november 2019 due to dispute with neighbours.
I was sent the interim avo by email.
On 17december 19 i could not attend my mention mention and sent through a medical certificate.
On the 18dec i contacted the court nsw 1300 number (you cannot contact court registry directly) and was told the person did not attend and no final order was made. The matter was dismissed. I thought that was the end of the matter.
On 20th Jan 20 , I was arrested for breach of avo.
I never was served the final avo by police before arrest. I was served it on 14-15 feb 20, 25 days after arrest, whilst reporting after remand.
I was never served final avo by email.
Do I have any rights or a defence the the breach of avo?
Is there any relevant case law?
Please help!!!
