Section 1: Power to grant injunctions

Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 · 2014 c. 12View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 1: Injunctions

A court may grant an injunction under this section against a person aged 10 or over ("the respondent") if two conditions are met.

The first condition is that the court is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the respondent has engaged or threatens to engage in anti-social behaviour.

The second condition is that the court considers it just and convenient to grant the injunction for the purpose of preventing the respondent from engaging in anti-social behaviour.

An injunction under this section may for the purpose of preventing the respondent from engaging in anti-social behaviour—

prohibit the respondent from doing anything described in the injunction;
require the respondent to do anything described in the injunction.

Prohibitions and requirements in an injunction under this section must, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid—

any interference with the times, if any, at which the respondent normally works or attends school or any other educational establishment;
any conflict with the requirements of any other court order or injunction to which the respondent may be subject.

An injunction under this section may specify periods for which particular prohibitions or requirements have effect.
