Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PROTECTION ORDERS AMENDMENT ACT 2005 (NO. 13 OF 2005) - SECT 15

Section 29 (3), example

substitute

Example

The parties to an application agree to the making of a final order. An automatic consequence of the order is that any firearms licence of the respondent is cancelled under section 38 (Firearms and final orders). That consequence automatically flows from the making of the final order. However, under section 38 (3) the Magistrates Court may, in certain circumstances (but not if the final order is a domestic violence order), order that the licence not be cancelled. If those circumstances apply and the parties agree that the firearms licence not be cancelled, the firearms licence would not be cancelled under section 38.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
