About this video
What’s the difference between an interdict and a restraining order? We don’t have restraining orders in Scotland, but an interdict is a court order that effectively does a similar thing. Hayley Mitchell, Senior Associate, explains that an interdict is an order that says someone must not engage in a specified behaviour, such as threatening or abusive behaviour and language.
