The High Court has rightly found in effect that the ingredients of domestic violence are wholly absent in this case. The Petitioner and the Respondents are not persons living together in a shared household. There is a vague allegation that the Respondents are family members. There is not a whisper of the Respondents with the Petitioner. They appear to be neighbours.
