Step 5
Respondent is served
The Courts Service or An Garda Síochána will serve the respondent. This means the respondent will receive the following documents:
- A copy of the short-term court order
- A summons for a full court hearing of the Safety Order, Barring Order, or both
- A copy of your Information form
- A note of the evidence heard at the court hearing
The court office will also send a copy of the order to An Garda Síochána for their records.
If the respondent breaches the order, contact the Gardaí immediately.
