Hi. I have been issued a VRO against me which all the claims are fabricated and I can prove this ,which I am doing at the moment by contesting.
Question is there any way to claim compensation for stress, loss of income and court -lawyer fees
thanks

Costs.... maybe.
The rest? Almost certainly not.

You can try for aggravated and exemplary damages along with lawyers costs as part of your orders but don't like your chances unless this was a particularly egregious situation.

Good thing is that it is easy to make the request for aggravated and exemplary damages and no downside to making the request. Check with your lawyer.
