Can my db issue a writ to stop his dd visiting us while my dh is in house?

[Zakinthos]

Long story but my db does seem to have some mental health issues and recently had an argument with my dh where db threw a glass of wine over dh (see my previous thread - don't know how to link it). Db now hates dh and has just sent me a message to request that I undertake never to let his dd visit if dh is present. If I don't agree to this he has stated that he will issue a writ to stop this happening. He does not have custody of his dd - she lives in another country with his ex (who I get on ok with). He will not currently accept my calls to try to talk to him.
Any legal experts out there? I am tempted to tell him to go ahead and issue whatever writs he wants.

I am no legal person but I doubt very much he could!!

How old is his dd?

Just completely ignore him, don't get embroiled and treat him as though he doesn't exist.

His Dd is 14. I want to ignore him but he is my db and I feel sad that it has come to this. He has a history of bearing grudges and always thinks he is right.
His ex is keen for their dd to keep in contact with us .

Hmmm.
Someone who knows better can put me right but he may try for some sort of prohibitive steps order.
Sometimes conditions can be attached to residency/contact orders.
BUT as dd is not uk resident and mother has residency and he would have to go to court AND he doesn't seem to have reasonable cause..
I would say no.

But hopefully legal bod will come along and give you proper advice.

Thanks Orange - will see if anyone else has any thoughts!

How does the DD feel? Even if her father did manage to bring some kind of court case, she is of an age where a judge would give a lot of weight to her views.

Prohibited steps orders can only be obtained against someone with parental responsibility, so you're OK. There's nothing he can do. At 14, it's up to your neice.

Thanks Collaberate.
But could he take the pso against mother?
In the way for e.g some parents can't travel with children or take them to certain places?

Personally I don't think he has a leg to stand on. Afaik he can't take a private case, he would have to go through family law and I can't see what grounds he has.

His dd or his ex do not know about this yet - his ex has complained about his anger issues before and I thought if I told her about wine throwing incident etc. it would only give more weight to her argument that he is not a fit parent!
He definitely does not have reasonable cause but he would just lie and exaggerate facts I think .

He doesn't have a chance in hell.

HTH

Thanks everyone - I will see how things go. I'm hoping he will see reason with time. I don't want to fall out with him as it would upset our elderly dm.
Thanks again

Frankly, any attempt by him to issue proceedings against you or his Ex to prevent DN coming into contact with your DH (provided that DH isn't sexually/physically abusive or dangerous) is only likely to undermine his own relationship with DN. I wouldn't engage with him on this issue.

As mumblechum says - he has no chance.

Simply put, he is being an idiot and no court is going to assist him in his quest.
