Summary Offences Act 1953

Subject to subsection (3), a recipient on whom a consorting prohibition notice has been served may, within 4 weeks after service of the notice, lodge an application with the Court for review of the notice.

The

Court may, on a review, consider the following matters:

whether sufficient grounds exist to satisfy the Court that the notice was properly issued in accordance with section 66A(1);

whether any person specified in the notice is a close family member of the recipient or there are otherwise good reasons why a particular person should not be so specified;

whether the notice should specify particular circumstances in which it does not apply.

The grounds of the review must be stated fully and in detail in the application.

A copy of the application for review must be served by the recipient on the Commissioner personally or by registered post at least 7 days before the day appointed for conducting the review (and the

Commissioner is a party to proceedings on the application).

The

Court may, on a review, confirm, vary or revoke the notice.
