It is an order issued by a court against someone with a legal or equitable right to a specific property or who has committed an act that can be deemed injurious to another person. In most cases, intervention orders can be issued within days. In many instances, the order is made permanent without further action by the respondent. Usually, the order will require the respondent to surrender his or her firearms permits, and if he or she wants a firearm for a livelihood, he or she may be required to apply for a firearm licence.
If the respondent is able, he/she may contest the order and list the matter for pre-trial conferences. The court may also keep an audio-visual record of oral testimony. The court can also request an earlier hearing date or a later one. This is the court’s way to encourage the respondent to appear in court. If the respondent fails to appear, the order is made final and he or she will have to pay the price. The court can also order the return or revoke of firearm licences.
An intervention order may also allow for the issuance of an order granting the right to a specific person the use of a specific property or dwelling. This is the most popular use of intervention order legislation. It is also a good idea to include in your order the terms pertaining to the possession of firearms.
