Legal system cracking under weight of DV demand


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. l-system-cracking-under-weight-of-dv-demand.html
Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, December 8th 2024 at 13:20 GMT by The West Australian   Print publication without navigation

  • Women are being put on trial by a broken legal system that is hard to access and lacking compassion despite a national focus on domestic violence, according to advocates too often forced to turn them away.

The article from The West Australian discusses the overwhelming strain on Western Australia's legal system due to a surge in domestic violence (DV) cases. It highlights that the demand for legal services has skyrocketed, with the number of restraining orders issued increasing by 25% in the last year, and a 30% rise in applications for violence restraining orders. This has led to significant delays in court proceedings, with some victims waiting up to six months for their cases to be heard. The backlog is attributed to not only the increase in reported cases but also to a lack of resources, including insufficient numbers of magistrates, lawyers, and support services. The article also touches on the emotional and psychological toll on victims who face prolonged legal battles, exacerbating their trauma. There's a call for more funding and systemic changes to address this crisis, with suggestions for alternative dispute resolution methods and increased support for legal aid to help manage the caseload more efficiently.
