R v Gowan [2007] EWCA (Crim) 1360, (2008) 172 JP 1
HELD Section 1C(2) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 is directed at protecting members of the general public from an offender’s conduct and could not be used to protect a wife with whom an offender had been and would in the future be cohabiting— since she would be in the same household as the offender. The judge therefore had no power to make the order.
