515.1. A protection order is an order directing a natural person to refrain from or cease doing something or to perform a specified act in order to protect another natural person who fears that their life, health or safety is threatened, in particular due to a context of violence based on a concept of honour, of family, spousal or sexual violence, of intimidation or of harassment.
An application for a protection order may be made by means of an outline that briefly presents the alleged facts or by using the form established by the Minister of Justice.
An application for a protection order may also be made, where the person fearing the threat consents to it or where the court so authorizes, by another person or by a body.
The application for a protection order is deemed to be made under oath.
