Loach what’s the provision (in NJ) for workplaces? If he’s say, a manager of a store she goes to, does he have to find a new job? (Assuming a TRO, or if the provision wasn’t in the FRO). I’d assume it’s a contact thing, if he stays in the back room while she’s there, but I can’t be sure. Either way in that case.
What if she doesn’t know he’s the manager (I don’t know, maybe he never mentioned it), and an employee treats her poorly and wants to complain to “the manager?” Does he have to find/provide other channels for her to route her complaint?
Sorry for the double post I remembered anotehr question regarding this post.
Can the defendent be given cause for a restraining order if the plaintiff uses this to harass them? I.E. sending text messages and leaving inflammatory letters knowing the other person can’t respond under legal penalty.
If I started to address every what if situation I would only be guessing, unless I have run into the exact situation. In this case there is no rule on how far the defendant has to be so the back room would be fine. As for the rest, I don’t know. Just realize this, unless it is a case where there is obvious probable cause then it is up to a judge to approve the warrant. Technically the it is always up to the judge but in a case like the defendant is banging on the door when the police get there or sitting in the living room, there is probable cause for an arrest and the warrant is approved during processing. If the plaintiff wants to pursue a charge due to a meeting in a store or something then the judge will determine if there is cause for a warrant. The judge can use common sense. Nothing in the law takes that away from him.
That would be harassment even if there wasn’t a restraining order involved.
