11A .         When VROs may be made

                A court may make a VRO if it is satisfied that —

            (b)         a person seeking to be protected, or a person who has applied for the order on behalf of that person, has reasonable grounds to apprehend that the respondent will commit personal violence against the person seeking to be protected,
