207ZF: Revocation of registration

You could also call this:

"When a court can cancel a protection order's registration to keep someone safe."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you apply to the court under section 207ZD, the court can cancel the registration of a protection order. This can happen if the court is satisfied that when the order was registered, it was being appealed, reviewed, or put on hold. The court can also cancel the registration if the time to appeal or review the order had not run out. You can think of a protection order like a special kind of help to keep someone safe. The court's decision to cancel the registration does not stop the order from being registered again later.

207ZFRevocation of registration

  1. On an application under section 207ZD, the court may revoke the registration of the order if, and only if, the court is satisfied that, at the time of registration,—

  2. as the case requires,—was subject to appeal, or review, or a stay; or
    1. the interstate officer's decision to transfer the protection order; or
      1. the order of the Children's Court that the protection order be transferred; or
        1. the order of the Children's Court that the protection proceedings be transferred,—
        2. the period the interstate law allows for an appeal to be brought, or review to be sought, had not expired.

          1. The revocation of the registration of an order does not prevent the later re-registration of that order.
