The Family Law Act 1996 allows for the possibility of third parties applying for protection orders‘ in situations of domestic violence. This paper employs a feminist perspective to explore the potential benefits and hazards of this practice, particularly when the police are the third-party applicants. The Australian experience of similar legislative provisions is drawn upon to highlight issues which might arise in England and Wales. Consultation with domestic violence workers in a wide range of agencies as well as documentary evidence from reports and research provided general endorsement of the practice. However. there remain contentious issues which suggest that caution is required before transporting legislation and practices from one jurisdiction to another. © 1996 Routledge.

I thought I saw Elizabeth, in the bloom of health, walking in the streets of Ingolstadt. Delighted and surprised, I embraced her; but as I imprinted the first kiss on her lips, they became livid with the hue of death; her features appeared to change, and I thought that I held the corpse of my dead mother in my arms; a shroud enveloped her form, and I saw the grave-worms crawling in the folds of the flannel. I started from my sleep with horror; a cold dew covered my fore head, my teeth chattered, and every limb became convulsed; when, by the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window shut ters, I beheld the wretch - the miserable monster whom I had created. (Shelley, 1992: 57)

The World Wide Web presents new challenges for the development of legal inferencing systems. This project starts by implementing via the web the inferencing component of the previous `DataLex' research, through the wysh interface. This provides one solution to the problem of maintaining state in web interactions, while only requiring standard HTML and CGI facilities. Wysh knowledgebases can interact with other wysh knowledgebases located anywhere on the web, creating opportunities for new forms of `cooperative' knowledgebase development. Automated and customized means of linking knowledgebases and inferencing dialogues to a large dynamic `real world' legal information system (the Australasian Legal Information Institute) are provided, giving one means of overcoming the `knowledgebase lag'. The project's development tools are available to any legal knowledgebase developer via the web.
