Given the tables Person, PersonRole, Role and that a Person has an attribute to show whether they are active or inactive is it possible to have the result of a lazy load from the Role object to the person object only return 'active' people?

Unfortunately no, but you can use prefetch paths with filtering if please see: Generated code - Prefetch Paths - Advanced Prefetch Paths for details.

Thanks, I'll try the prefetch path with filter route.
