Mercedes Corby to oppose AVO, court told

Mercedes Corby has told a NSW court she intends to oppose an apprehended violence order being taken out against her.

The sister of convicted Bali drug smuggler Schapelle made a brief appearance at Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, where she asked for the matter to be adjourned.

Corby said she'd only received written statements from the applicant after arriving at court.

"I've just skimmed through it and there's a lot I disagree with," Corby told the court.

The AVO has been sought by police after an alleged dispute between Corby and long-time friend Trudy Todd.

The pair opened a tapas bar on the southern end of the Gold Coast last year, which is believed to have since gone out of business.

Former professional surfer Ms Todd said outside court the dispute didn't relate to the business.

"I can't comment at the moment because I'm too scared," Ms Todd said as she entered the courthouse.

The matter has been adjourned until March 13 when it will be set down for a hearing if Corby still opposes the order.
