What is a body attachment order?

A body attachment order is a legal directive issued by a court that authorizes law enforcement to arrest an individual who has failed to comply with a court order, such as not appearing for a scheduled court hearing. This type of order is typically used in civil cases, often related to family law or child support matters, and it allows authorities to detain the individual until they comply with the court's requirements. The order is designed to ensure accountability and uphold the judicial process.
