The woman told Judge Desmond Zaidan that her partner’s sister coughed in her face, “threatened to box me in the face”, turned off the electricity and “threatened to make me homeless.”

Judge Zaidan appointed a solicitor to assist the woman and said that while he has no reason not to believe her, he said she had not reached the threshold in law for an interim order.

The case was adjourned.
