Legal Question in Technology Law in Australia

Re: Chat Rooms

I'm not sure where you are located, because the law varies from place to place. Generally, though, an Apprehended Violence Order or similar type of court order is only binding on the person against whom it is taken out. Even then, it would depend on the terms of the order - it may only cover physical contact. There has never been any court that I know of that has found a chat room administrator responsible for enforcing the terms of an AVO. Hope this helps.
