The financial instruments which evidence the existence of a debt between a borrower (issuer) and one or more lenders (noteholder(s)) and the promise by the issuer to repay the amounts outstanding under the loan notes to the noteholder(s).
A non-molestation order may be made under Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 prohibiting a person (the respondent) from molesting a person associated with the respondent or a relevant child. There is no statutory definition of the term molesting although guidance can be elicited from case law.
