A friend of mine's wife gave him the boot and has a restraining order on him - he emailed her and told her he still loved and missed her, now he's afraid he violated the order. Needless to say, he had been drinking when he emailed her.

It depends on the restraining order. Usually, there is a list of the types of contact prohibited.
If email is prohibited, he might get lucky and she will not report such a minor violation.

He probably violated it. I know a protective order under the family violence act states no direct or indirect contact. I would think the same would apply to any restraining order.

It doesn't matter that he had been drinking when he emailed her, he violated the order, the order states he is to have NO contact with her...email IS contact. She can take a copy of that email to the court and your "friend" can be arrested for violation.

It was my understanding that restraining order meant NO contact. I think he did violate the order. Lets hope she doesn't report it.

Yes he did violate the order but the only way anything will be done is if she reports the police of it.

The actual restraining order specifies exactly what type of contact is allowed and what isn't.

E-mailing is not considered a violation but it can be used against him as harrassment.
