In DES v CJR (No 2) [2023] QDC 209, the Queensland District Court dealt with an appeal by DES against a decision by a Magistrate who refused her application to vary a domestic violence protection order. The court highlighted that the original protection order had been established following significant domestic violence issues, which included verbal and emotional abuse. The appeal raised concerns about whether the Magistrate had adequately considered the findings of the original court, pointing out potential legal errors. After a comprehensive review, the appellate court found that the protection order remained necessary and desirable to ensure the safety of the aggrieved, dismissing the appeal.
