Injunction to stay away from family and village

[gavilan]

The family who used to own this mill, also own the adjacent avocado orchard. Their farm house is way up on the mountainside. The son who now works these areas is a difficult and unpredictable man not well liked by local people around here. I had not seen Manolo for months and the avocados look ready for picking. I asked my Spanish friend if she knew anything of the whereabouts of this man. She told me he had been banned from his family home and his village because he beat his wife and children once too often. He has to live now in land/property that the family also own, some 25km distant. What interests me is that he wasn't taken to the court in Malaga but some local ordinance seems to have been invoked. Does anyone know anything about this and what it might be called?

However I think the OP was asking about a legal process as opposed to a just one.

Well, I would hope that the (local) legal process was a just one. In this case it would seem so. Although I heard of an instance (this of several years ago) when a young woman in the same village lost her job and the then mayor refused to sign her paper for unemployment benefit as she had not voted for him.
