| 02 August 2011 | The Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 was signed into law by the President on the 2nd August, 2011.
The Act implements important reforms across a range of areas including domestic violence. The Bill amends the Domestic Violence Act 1996 so that a parent may now apply for a safety order against the other parent of the child even when the parents do not live together and may never have lived together. It also affords the protections of the Act to unmarried opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples who have not registered a civil partnership. In addition, couples will no longer be required to have lived together for a minimum period before one of them can obtain a safety order.
Part 3 of the Act places the civil liability of "good samaritans", volunteers and volunteer organisations on a statutory footing and provides legal clarity for persons who assist in an accident or emergency and those who engage in voluntary work for the benefit of society. The text of the Act will be available on the Oireachtas website www.oireachtas.ie. A guide to the provisions of the Act is available on the legislation pages of the Department of Justice website www.justice.ie |
