If you are involved in proceedings about non-consorting orders, you should know that these are considered civil proceedings. This means they are treated like other non-criminal court cases. However, there is an exception to this rule. If the proceedings are related to section 25 of the Gangs Act 2024, they are not treated as civil proceedings. Civil proceedings usually have different rules and procedures compared to criminal cases.
