DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE ACT 2007 - SECT 103U

Power of court to vary or revoke recognised non-local DVOs

    (1)     A court may vary or revoke a recognised DVO that is a non-local DVO in accordance with this Part as if the DVO were a local DVO.

    (2)     A court cannot vary or revoke a non-local DVO if it is a kind of DVO that cannot be varied or revoked by a court in the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.

    (3)     A variation to, or revocation of, a recognised DVO that is done under this Part is not limited in its operation to the Territory.

    (4)     This Part does not apply to the variation or revocation of a foreign order that is registered as a registered foreign order in the Territory.

Note for subsection (4)

Foreign orders registered in the Territory (referred to as registered external orders in Chapter 3) can be varied or cancelled under Part 3.3.

    (5)     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 Chapter, as the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.
