It would have been for the Crown Court to impose on acquittal after overturning the conviction. There is no Restraining Order in effect otherwise.

Grateful for that, Harvey. I considered the fact that it COULD have been imposed on acquittal and took the view that it would be safer to have it set aside. Any other views please?

Subject: Funding an Application to set aside a Restraining Order
The Restraining Order must have been on conviction so falls with the conviction being quashed.

Subject: Funding an Application to set aside a Restraining Order
Does anyone know the answer to this?
We have successfully appealed, in the crown court, a conviction for assault. Ordinarily the sentence falls away, so the crown court said nothing about the sentence. However, in this case, a restraining order was made by the mags. Now,
after the euphoria of victory had waned, the client has come back asking if we could have the restraining order “removed”. My view is that a fresh application to set aside the RO needs to be made to the mags ct. I have asked the LAA whether we can use the
same Rep Order (assuming no change in circs) and claim a separate fee. They have not been able to give an answer, but instead answered one about appeals which I did not ask. My view is that given that the granting of a RO follows the civil standard of proof,
we cannot apply for and use a criminal Rep Order for this. I have seen one view online which suggests that one can in some cases.
What do you say, folks?
