Restraining Orders Act 1997

Before a court makes a behaviour management order, or varies or cancels a behaviour management order, a registrar for the court must cause the notice of the hearing to be served on the respondent.

The court may make the order in the respondent’s absence if the respondent fails to attend the hearing.

Despite subsection (1), if the respondent is before a court when it makes a final order against the respondent, the court may make an eligibility assessment order, without giving any notice to the respondent, immediately after it makes the final order.
