        (1)         An application for the revocation of the registration of any document filed under section 134 may be made to the Court by—

            (a)         the Chief Executive; or

            (b)         the child concerned; or

            (c)         a parent or guardian of the child concerned; or

            (d)         a party to the proceeding in the appropriate court in the sending State in which the decision to transfer the order or proceeding (as the case requires) was made.

        (2)         The Registrar must cause a copy of an application under subsection (1) to be given personally or by post as soon as possible to—

            (a)         the relevant interstate officer; and

            (b)         each person (other than the applicant) by whom such an application could have been made.

        (3)         The Court may only revoke the registration of a document filed under section 134 if satisfied that it was inappropriately registered because—

            (a)         the decision or order to transfer the child protection order or the order to transfer the child protection proceeding (as the case requires) was at the time of registration subject to review or appeal or a stay; or

            (b)         the time for instituting a review or appeal had not expired,

under the relevant interstate law.

        (4)         The Registrar must cause any document filed in the Court under section 134 to be sent to the appropriate court in the sending State if the registration of the document is revoked under this section.

        (5)         The revocation of the registration of a document does not prevent the later re-registration of that document.
