Application for order
42 Application for order
An application for a declaration that a DVO is a recognised DVO in this jurisdiction may be made by a person who would be able to make an application for variation of the DVO if the DVO were a recognised DVO.
The application must —
be made in a form approved by the court; and
be accompanied by any information or evidence the court requires.
Note for this subsection:
It is only necessary to make an application in one participating jurisdiction. Under section 39, once a declaration is made in any participating jurisdiction the DVO will be treated as a recognised DVO in all participating jurisdictions.
Notice of the application is not to be served on the person bound by the DVO.
The application must be determined in the absence of the person bound by the DVO.
