In a Decision – A.M.V. v. F.T.,, (an "Unreported Decision") >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division affirmed the Decision of the Trial Court that Simple Assault with bodily injury occurred and that the victim was in need of protection even if the Court did not explicitly say so.
The Appellate Division referenced a recent case that set forth “[w]hen the predicate act is an offense that inherently involves the use of physical force and violence, the decision to issue an FRO 'is most often perfunctory and self-evident.'". the Appellate division determined that defendant's conduct against plaintiff was unmistakably violent. Although the trial court failed to conduct the required analysis, we are satisfied the record supports the issuance of the FRO.
