A Wellington woman has been waiting more than 14 months for her application for an urgent protection order to be heard.
The woman - we're calling her 'Trish' - filed the protection order application in May last year, during the nationwide lockdown.
The Family Court set a hearing date down for her case this week but - as Trish told reporter Anneke Smith - no one told her or her lawyer.
