Abstract

Active legitimation for the purpose of protection against domestic violence belongs to the family member who was a victim of domestic violence, the legal representative of the victim of violence, the guardianship authority, as the authority for family protection, and the public prosecutor, as a state authority. The procedure for protection from domestic violence can also be initiated ex-officio. Given that different plaintiffs can initiate a lawsuit for protection against violence against the same defendant who behaved violently, the question arises whether it is possible to join the initiated lawsuits for protection against domestic violence, especially those initiated by the victim of violence and the public prosecutor, in order to effectively determine one or more measures for protection against domestic violence through joint discussion, investigation and decision-making in the joint procedures and achieve not only effective protection of the victim of violence, but also cost-effectiveness and legal certainty.
