Who's who in court

Sometimes, when you have to go to court, it can help if you know beforehand what to expect. There could be a number of different people in the courtroom when your Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) case is called, such as:

  • the magistrate or registrar
  • a police prosecutor
  • the other party
  • court staff
  • witnesses
  • a domestic violence liaison officer (DVLO).
To look at what a typical court room looks like, who the different people are in the court, and where you should sit, see:

Who’s who in court in police applications for an Apprehended Violence Order, if you are involved in a case where the police are making the application for an AVO.

Who’s who in court in private applications for an Apprehended Violence Order, if you are involved in a case where an individual person is making an application for an AVO.
