99F—Variation or revocation of restraining order
(1) The Magistrates
Court may vary or revoke a restraining order on application—
(a) in
the case of a restraining order made under section 99AAC—by a
parent or guardian of the child for the protection of whom the order was made;
and
(b) in
any case—
(i)
by a police officer; or
(ii)
by the person for whose benefit the order was made; or
(iii)
by the defendant.
(1a) An application
for variation or revocation of a restraining order may only be made by the
defendant with the permission of the Magistrates Court and permission is only
to be granted if the Magistrates Court is satisfied there has been a
substantial change in the relevant circumstances since the order was made or
last varied.
(3) The Magistrates
Court must, before varying or revoking a restraining order under this
section—
(a)
allow all parties a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the matter; and
(b) have
regard to the same factors that the Magistrates Court is required to have
regard to in considering whether or not to make a restraining order and in
considering the terms of a restraining order.
