| Authors: | Laing, Lesley Breckenridge, Jan Hunter, Rosemary |

| Notes: | Based on research conducted by the author in Melbourne exploring women’s experiences of civil legal processes designed to address violence and harassment perpetrated by family members or work colleagues. Looks at the pros and cons of disposing of legal proceedings by consent for women. Argues that the emphasis on consent - mutually agreed settlements – in hearings concerning protection orders has the advantage of affording access to protection for women, but at the same time helps to maintain the silence about abuse and violence. |
