Northern Territory Consolidated Acts

DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE ACT 2007 - SECT 103ZG

    (1)     Part 3A.2 applies to any DVOs made in another participating jurisdiction that are recognised DVOs in that jurisdiction under the corresponding law for that jurisdiction.

    (2)     To avoid doubt, section 103E extends to the following DVOs:

        (a)     any interstate DVO that was made in another participating jurisdiction before the commencement date that is a recognised DVO in that jurisdiction; and

        (b)     any foreign order that became a registered foreign order in another participating jurisdiction before the commencement date that is a recognised DVO in that jurisdiction.

    (3)     Sections 103F and 103G extend to any variation or revocation of a DVO mentioned in subsection (2), that was done in a participating jurisdiction before the commencement date, as if the DVO were a recognised DVO.

    (4)     However, a non-local DVO, and any variation to a non-local DVO, does not become enforceable against the respondent in the Territory, under this Chapter, until the commencement date (even if the making of the DVO, or variation, was properly notified before that date).
