Interstate orders registered before commencement of Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017
74B Interstate orders registered before commencement of Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017
This section applies to an interstate order that, immediately before the day on which the Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017 section 47 comes into operation, is registered under this Part.
Unless subsection (4) applies, the registration of the order is not affected by the Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017 and this Part continues to apply in respect of the order.
The order is not a local DVO for the purposes of the Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017.
If, under the Domestic Violence Orders (National Recognition) Act 2017, the order becomes a recognised DVO in Western Australia —
the order ceases to be registered under this Part; and
that Act applies to the order in the same way as it applies to another recognised DVO that, under that Act, is a non‑local DVO.
