Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to identify, with the instruments of comparative law, similar provisions, namely differences that can be adopted in national law, by reporting Romanian legislation on combating domestic violence to the legal provisions in the UK. As a novelty, I have included a survey conducted on an accessibility sample of 50 lawyers from the Bucharest Bar, with experience in domestic violence, respectively 50 employees of barristers firms in the UK, to evaluate, comparatively, how they relate to the quality and efficiency of the legislative framework, respectively to the changes that have been brought to it or are still to be brought. The conclusions of this paper derive both from the comparative analysis of the legal norms applicable to domestic violence, in the two legislative systems, and from the analysis of the answers obtained to the questionnaire that include in the Annex.
