Stalking Intervention Orders Act 2008 - SECT 9

Cancellation or suspension of firearms authority

9. Cancellation or suspension of firearms authority



(1) Before making an intervention order, the court must enquire as to whether
the respondent holds a firearms authority.

(2) If the court makes an interim order, the order may suspend the
respondent's firearms authority.

(3) If the court makes a final order, the order may cancel the respondent's
firearms authority.

(4) To remove any doubt, it is declared that if the court decides to include
in an intervention order a suspension or cancellation under subsection (2) or
(3)-

   (a)  no appeal lies against the decision under the Firearms Act 1996; and

   (b)  the respondent may not apply under section 189 of the
        Firearms Act 1996 for a declaration that the person is deemed not to
        be a prohibited person for that Act.
