We'll have to agree to disagree. When a system designed and intended to hold an emergency,
ex parte hearing within 24 hours allows a petitioner to skip over the initial, emergency hearing and move directly to the step that requires the respondent to appear in court and defend him/herself, I don't think it's correct to say that the system worked either as designed or as intended. If you can find where in the law there is any provision for a case to proceed as this one did, please let us know.
