What is the meaning of the third element of a restraining order?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Power v. Power, 2015 NSSC 258 (CanLII):

The third element was described in paragraph 35: “the party allegedly in breach must have intentionally done the act that the order prohibits or intentionally failed to do the act that the order compels”. It was the meaning of this third element that was at issue in Carey v. Laiken, 2015 SCC 17 and which is at issue before me. I will address it in detail later in my reasons. Analysing the allegations
