CHILD PROTECTION (INTERNATIONAL MEASURES) ACT 2006 - SECT 24

24 Action on receipt of foreign property protection measure

(1) This section applies if the Director-General or NSW Trustee is given either of the following documents, together with a request for the Director-General or the NSW Trustee to take an action under the Child Protection Convention:

(a) a document that is a foreign property protection measure relating to a child,

(b) a document that, although it is not a foreign property protection measure relating to a child, states details of a foreign property protection measure relating to a child.

(2) The Director-General or NSW Trustee (as the case may be) must consider whether the foreign property protection measure includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child.

(3) If the Director-General is given a foreign property protection measure that the Director-General considers includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child, the Director-General must deal with the measure under section 23 as if it were a foreign personal protection measure relating to a child.

(4) If the NSW Trustee is given a foreign property protection measure that the NSW Trustee considers includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child, the NSW Trustee must provide the Director-General with the measure. The Director-General is then to deal with the measure under section 23 as if it were a foreign personal protection measure relating to a child.

(5) If the Director-General or NSW Trustee (as the case may be) does not consider that the foreign property protection measure includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child, the Director-General or NSW Trustee must give the measure to a registrar of a New South Wales court for recognition of the measure by registration under section 25.
