Power of court to vary or cancel recognised non‑local DVOs
24 Power of court to vary or cancel recognised non‑local DVOs
A court may vary or cancel a recognised DVO that is a non‑local DVO in accordance with this Part as if the DVO were a local DVO.
A court cannot vary or cancel a non‑local DVO if it is a kind of DVO that cannot be varied or cancelled by a court in the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.
A variation to or cancellation of a recognised DVO that is done under this Part is not limited in its operation to this jurisdiction.
This Part does not apply to the variation or cancellation of a foreign order that is registered as a registered foreign order in this jurisdiction.
To avoid doubt, if a court varies a recognised DVO that was made in another jurisdiction, the other jurisdiction continues to be treated, for the purpose of this Act, as the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.
