Consent orders—review
83 Consent orders—review
A party to a proceeding for a protection order may also apply to the Magistrates Court for a review of a consent order (the original order) on the ground that the making of the original order was induced or affected by fraud or duress, other than fraud of the party or duress applied by the party.
On application for the review, the Magistrates Court may—
either—
amend, or refuse to amend, the original order; or
declare the original order void; and
make any order that could have been made on the application in relation to which the original order was made instead of the original order.
