Summary/Abstract: The Article „The civil procedural defence against violence in Latvia” is concerned with the issue of interim protection against violence as a legal doctrine established in order to allow a person to seek protection in accordance with civil and administrative procedure against violence in one’s family or among other persons that have or used to have any personal relations and to protect personal rights of people in Latvia. The article looks at the possibility for a temporary protection against violence. The Author of the article „The civil procedural defence against violence in Latvia” carries out an analysis of a tentative process for a temporary protection against violence and the issues of concern associated therewith, along with the judgements on interim protection against violence in Latvia. The goal pursued by the author is to study the legal nature of protection measures available to the victims of domestic violence in the dimension of national law, revealing the potential problems that can be encountered in practice and suggesting solutions for these problems. The article was developed in reliance upon regulatory acts, social and political essays, court case materials, Internet resources, unpublished materials and statistical data. The Article uses 13 literary sources.
