Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Actually, that is exactly the situation that this act is intended to deal with, so the application in court is actually heard in the jurisdiction in which the respondent resides. So the respondent does not have to travel and does not have to get to another jurisdiction to have his or her time in court. The application is heard where the respondent lives.
