38 .         Restraining order against person who could be required to move on

        (1)         If circumstances arise that would give sufficient grounds for a police officer to give a person a direction under section 24 and that person has previously been given a direction under that provision, the police officer may apply for a restraining order against the person.

        (2)         The application is to be made —

            (a)         if the person against whom the order is sought is a child, to the Children’s Court; or

            (b)         otherwise, to the Magistrates Court.

        (3)         If the court to which the application is made considers it appropriate in the circumstances to do so, it may make a restraining order.
