Section 12 of The Protection Against Domestic Violence Act CAP. 151: Application without notice for protection order.

(1) An interim protection order may be made on an application without notice and outside ordinary court hours or on a day which is not an ordinary court day, if the court is satisfied that delay would be caused by proceedings on notice or might entail—
(a) a risk of harm; or
(b) undue hardship to the applicant or child of the applicant's family.
(2) Without limiting the matters to which the court may have regard when determining whether to grant a protection order on an application without notice, the court shall have regard to—
(a) the perception of the applicant or a child of the applicant's family, of the nature and seriousness of the respondent's behaviour; and
(b) the effects of that behaviour on the applicant or a child of the applicant's family.
(3) An interim order may, where appropriate, contain any direction, prohibition or award which may be contained in a protection order issued under section 19 .
(4) Whenever a court issues an interim protection order, the court shall issue a summons to appear in respect of the respondent which shall be attached to the order.
(5) Where an application is made under this section and the court is satisfied prima facie that the respondent has committed, is committing or threatening to commit an act of domestic violence but that the circumstances do not justify or require the issue of an interim protection order, the court may issue a notice requiring the respondent to show cause why a protection order should not be made: Provided that an interim protection order shall remain in force until it is replaced by a protection order or varied or revoked by a competent court.
(6) Section 22 applies to any person who fails to comply with the terms and condition of an interim protection order.
