A Wigan borough man has been jailed for flouting a court domestic violence protection order.

John Cunliffe, 55, of Heatherstone Street in Leigh, appeared before Manchester and Salford magistrates to admit being in the company of a named woman in Wigan on August 18 when expressly forbidden by justices from doing so.

The bench gave him a 17-day jail term because of his "flagrant disregard" for court orders.
