When an application was made to exclude somebody from their home, the statement of facts in support must not only detail the factual material, but also refer to the evidence which supported, in appropriate cases, the relevant provisions under the Act. The statement must also be clear as to what was required of the respondent. It was wrong to imprison the applicant for a breach of a court order which had clearly no longer been appropriate at the time of the breach.
