Dear JA Customer,
Thank you for your further reply. I can understand how upsetting this whole matter is for you, however, the problem for you is that a Court order was made in open court, and as such is not privileged information (unless the Magistrate heard it in a "closed court" environment).
If it was open court, you cannot stop your colleague from talking about it, unfortunately.
However, as your Employer knows about this situation, you may want to ask him to have the staff put a stop to the questions and gossiping about the whole matter, as there are witnesses who may have to give evidence in the case, and their evidence should not be influenced or affected by what is going on by third parties.
That is about all I can say in the matter. I wish you well and if you need some support, perhaps you should attend Counselling, as this is a very upsetting experience.
I wish you well. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Otherwise, please don't forget to press the "Accept" button upon receiving this answer to your enquiry.
Sincerely,
Mary A.
