Anti-social or violent behaviour can take many forms and there are numerous legal remedies for addressing such problems. This new work brings together in one volume the law and procedure relating to civil injunctions for anti-social or violent individuals and focuses on the procedural requirements of such actions.

Coverage includes:

• Anti-social Behaviour Orders;
• Anti-social Behaviour Injunctions;
• Drinking Banning Orders;
• Protection from Harassment Injunctions;
• Local Government Act Injunctions;
• Family Law Act Injunctions; and
• Forced Marriage Protection Orders.

The authors provide a detailed guide to the legal framework underpinning each area, together with practical advice on bringing and defending proceedings. Each chapter contains commentary and checklists for compliance with relevant procedure and precedents. A comprehensive suite of expertly drafted precedents for use in these cases is included in an accompanying CD-ROM.

Injunctions and Orders Against Anti-social or Violent Individuals will be suitable for solicitors and barristers specialising in housing, local government issues and family law, as well as Registered Social Landlords, the Police and Youth Offending Teams.

"an extremely practical guide to the orders available ... It is concise without being too skeletal; it possesses commentary that does not clutter and affect one's ability to find practical guidance on a particular point quickly ... This is exactly the sort of book that is likely to prove a very useful companion at court"
