The judge needs to assess the peace bond. They will bring all the parties into the courtroom to assess whether or not they're going to order the peace bond. They look at whether there's a reasonable fear and whether that reasonable fear is objective from the perspective of a third person—another person. It's not just based on the subjective fear of the person. If someone comes in and says, “I fear this person, because they've been threatening me”, the judge will need to assess whether it's objectively verifiable.
That acts as a check on the process to ensure the peace bond is being ordered for the right reasons.
