Folks,
PC called me today. He told me that after a voluntary dismissal of a DV complaint (at the Final hearing) the putative victim's attorney filed a Law Division case (for harassment) solely for the purpose of entering a consent order for civil restraints. I verified the filings in eCourts, so these facts are accurate.
Has anybody ever heard of this? I haven't, and I don't think it is (or should be) allowed by the court rules.
Comments?
Regards,
Ed
