Plaintiff failed to prove defendant committed an act of domestic violence but the judge – after acknowledging the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act did not permit issuance of a final restraining order – relied on P.J.G. v. P.S.S., 297 N.J. Super. 468 (App. Div. 1997), invoked her "inherent equitable powers," and entered restraints in plaintiff's favor. The court reversed, holding that even if it represents good law, P.J.G. requires that some other vehicle – such as another pending action between the parties – must be available for the issuance of restraints based on the trial court's inherent equitable powers. There being no action between the parties except the domestic violence action in question, the trial court was not authorized to impose restraints or do anything but dismiss plaintiff's domestic violence action without granting affirmative relief.
