I am in a position where I have needed to lodge an application for a restraining order against a person, and as the need to seek an interim order was urgent and was done in a very limited time, there is some information contained in the original application that may be deemed to be irrelevant to the reason I am seeking the order.
Understandably, the other party is seeking to have the matter thrown out on the basis of irrelevancy, although the incidents that have been reported as leading to the reason for seeking protection are very clear, relevant, and contain no bias or prejudice. And most importantly, are backed up with very solid evidence.
Is it possible in Tasmania to amend the original application after the first hearing has been attended? I’m interested in simplifying the background information so that it is strictly relevant to myself and the respondent. Presently, we are about to go into mediation in a few weeks.
Thanks kindly!
