A jilted wife who got into a scuffle with her husband’s ex-lover has been fined $200 for breaching an intervention order against her. Werribee Magistrates’ Court yesterday heard Carmen Hewett had been ordered to stay away from her husband’s former mistress following a heated confrontation between the women over the 2017 affair. Ms Hewett’s defence lawyer told the court the amorous adulterers had met at an aged care home, where Ms Hewett’s mother-in-law lived and the would-be girlfriend worked. The intervention order prevented Ms Hewett from going within 200m of the mistress’s home or workplace. But Ms Hewett’s lawyers said his client had driven her husband — who she had since reconciled with — to visit his mother at the nursing home, parking about 100m away. They did not believe his former lover was rostered on that day. But when the one-time flame arrived at work and saw Ms Hewett’s car nearby, she approached her and started taking photos. An altercation broke out and both women ended up wrestling on the ground with Ms Hewett injured in the scuffle. Magistrate Kay Robertson said breaching an order was a serious offence which carried a maximum penalty of two years in jail. “There is no property in another person — because the victim in this case had an affair with your husband is a matter for you to sort out peacefully with him,” she said. “It doesn’t automatically give you the right to take action directly against the other person. “That’s why the intervention order was put in place and you have breached that order.” Ms Robertson noted there was little chance of future conflict between the women, as the former flame now no longer worked at the aged care home where Ms Hewett’s mother-in-law lived. Ms Hewett was ordered to pay $200 to the court fund.
