Thing to do would be to get evidence that they are breaking the rules as such,
If they are doing it intensionally then they are trying to provoke you into breaking the order, which is a malicious act.
I'd report them to the police, and talk to a solicitor so that you can get it in black and white where you stand and what actions you can take.

The issuer cannot break a harassment order - it only binds the defendant.
Example - harassment order prevents you from phoning the issuer. If the issuer phones you, that's allowed, but if you then phone back you are committing an offence.
But you could use the issuer's behaviour as grounds for an application to have the order lifted.

The harassment order is a "two way street."
If the individual from which the order is issued against violates the order...they are subject to immediate arrest.
If the individual from which the order was provided violates the order...the order COULD be considered mute as it would be considered a waste of the courts time for having issued it in the first place!
In other words...having contact with the individual who was harassing you in the first place only compounds the issue you are trying to avoid by having the order in effect!
Best wishes.

Not sure exactly where you stand. If an order was issued against you approaching another person or their property, then if that person comes into your zone, as it were, I'm not sure they are actually breaking the rules. However, they are putting you in a difficult situation, since you have presumably agreed in court not to go near them.
Check it out with your local fuzz. If you do not want to go to the fuzz shop, phone them up.
Or, try your local CAB [Citizens Advice Bureau].
Good luck and stay back in the shadows.

It depends on the wording of the order. Does it limit the issuer in any way or just you?

if the one who filed for the order breaks it, it will become null and void
