Part 1Protection of adults at risk of harm

Banning orders

20Criteria for granting banning order

The sheriff may grant a banning order only if satisfied—

(a)

that an adult at risk is being, or is likely to be, seriously harmed by another person,

(b)

that the adult at risk's well-being or property would be better safeguarded by banning that other person from a place occupied by the adult than it would be by moving the adult from that place, and

(c)

that either—

(i)

the adult at risk is entitled, or permitted by a third party, or

(ii)

neither the adult at risk nor the subject is entitled, or permitted by a third party,

to occupy the place from which the subject is to be banned.
