Personal Violence Act 2016

On hearing an application under section 81 to review a final order, the Magistrates Court must, by order—

dismiss the application; or

confirm the original order; or

revoke the original order; or

set aside the original order and make a new order.

The Magistrates Court may revoke the original order—

if the court is satisfied that the original order is no longer necessary to protect the protected person; or

if—

the applicant for the original order applies for the review of the original order; and

if the revocation would affect the protection of a child who is 15 years old or younger—the court is satisfied the child is no longer in need of the protection provided by the original order.

If the Magistrates Court revokes the original order and the protected person is not present in court when the order is revoked, the court must notify the protected person, in writing, as soon as practicable.
