(1)     An application for revocation of the registration of a document filed under section 315 may be made to the court by—

        (a)     the chief executive; or

        (b)     the child or young person concerned; or

        (c)     someone with parental responsibility for the child or young person concerned; or

        (d)     a party to the proceeding in the Childrens Court in the sending State in which the decision to transfer the order or proceeding was made.

        (a)     the relevant interstate officer; and

        (b)     each person, other than the applicant, who could have made an application.

(3)     The court may only revoke the registration of a document filed under section 315 if satisfied that it was inappropriately registered because, under the interstate law—

        (a)     the decision of the interstate officer or the order of the Childrens Court in the sending State to transfer the order or proceeding was at the time of registration subject to appeal or review or a stay; or

        (b)     the time for instituting an appeal or seeking a review had not expired.

(4)     The registrar of the Childrens Court must send each document filed under section 315 to the Childrens Court in the sending State if the registration of the document is revoked.

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