DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE PROTECTION ACT 1989 - SECT 36

36 Revocation of orders

(1) A court may revoke a domestic violence order if an application for revocation is made to the court under section 51.

(2) In considering the application, the court must have regard to--

(a) any expressed wishes of the aggrieved; and
(b) any current contact between the aggrieved and respondent; and
(c) whether any pressure has been applied, or threat has been made, to the aggrieved by the respondent or someone else for the respondent; and
(d) any other relevant matter.

(3) The court may only revoke the order if the court considers the safety of the aggrieved or a named person would not be compromised by the revocation.

(4) If the court refuses to revoke the order, the court may vary the order in a way it considers does not compromise the safety of the aggrieved and a named person.

(5) A revocation or variation under this section takes effect on the day it is made.
