Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Before making an
order that can only be made with the consent of a person, the court is
required to explain, or cause to be explained, to the person in language
likely to be readily understood by the person —
(a) the
purpose and effect of the order; and
(b) the
consequences that may follow failure to comply with the order or with any
requirement under this Act that may apply as a result of the order being made;
and
(c) any
right that the person may have to seek the review of the order or appeal
against it.
(2) If requested to do
so, the person in respect of whom the order is made and any responsible adult
who is present when the order is made are required to sign a written
acknowledgement, endorsed on a copy of the order, to the effect that the order
was made with the required consent and its purpose and effect are understood,
but the fact that in a particular case such an acknowledgement may not have
been signed does not postpone or otherwise alter the effect of the order.
