South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts19A—Restraining orders may be issued on finding of guilt or sentencing
(1) A court may, on
finding a person guilty of an offence or on sentencing a person for an
offence, exercise the powers of the Magistrates Court to issue against the
defendant a restraining order under the Summary Procedure Act 1921 or a
domestic violence restraining order under the Domestic Violence Act 1994
as if a complaint had been made under that Act against the defendant in
relation to the matters alleged in the proceedings for the offence.
(1a) Before issuing an
order under this section the court must consider whether, if the whereabouts
of the person for whose benefit the order would be issued are not known to the
defendant, the issuing of the order would be counterproductive.
(2) An order issued
under this section—
(a) has
effect as a restraining order under the Summary Procedure Act 1921 or a
domestic violence restraining order under the Domestic Violence Act 1994
(as the case may require); and
(b) is
not a sentence for the purposes of this Act.
