When you file your application for leave you must also file an affidavit setting out all the facts that you know about that are material to the application — this includes all the facts that may go against your application as well as the ones that support it. If you do not do this the court may reject your application.
At the hearing of the application for leave you must convince the court that there has been a substantial change in the relevant circumstances since the restraining order was made. If the court is not satisfied that there has been a substantial change of circumstances your application for leave will be dismissed
If the court is satisfied that there has been a substantial change of circumstances it will order you to serve a copy of this application on the person who originally applied for the restraining order (this will usually be the Commissioner of Police). That person will then be able to attend court to oppose your application for leave if he or she wishes to do so.
If the court grants you leave, you must then lodge an application to vary or cancel the restraining order.
If you do not attend the hearing of your application for leave, your application may be dismissed. |\n\n\nBack of restrained person’s copy\n\n| **This form must not be served until service is ordered by the Court** | | | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | | | | | | | |\n| *Prostitution Act 2000* **Application for leave to apply to vary or cancel a prostitution restraining order** | | | | Number | | | |\n| | Jurisdiction ❒ Court of Petty Sessions

These specific restraining orders are designed to stop people from engaging in prostitution-related offences in public places.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Prescribes forms**: It provides the official forms that must (or substantially must) be used when applying for, making, varying, or cancelling a \"prostitution restraining order.\" There are six main forms covering applications, court records, the orders themselves, and applications to change or cancel orders.\n- **Sets procedural rules**: It explains how applications must be served on the person being restrained, how the final orders must be delivered, and how courts must keep records.\n- **Cross-references other laws**: Rather than rewriting the rules for serving legal documents, it simply says \"use the same service rules as the Restraining Orders Act 1997\" (Western Australia's general domestic violence and personal restraining order law).\n- **Requires sworn statements**: If a person subject to an order wants to change or cancel it, they must file an affidavit (a sworn written statement) before a Justice of the Peace.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Police**: Officers apply for these orders on behalf of the Commissioner of Police to restrict the behaviour of individuals suspected of prostitution-related public offences.\n- **Courts**: Magistrates and Children's Courts use these forms and procedures to process the orders.\n- **Restrained persons**: Individuals subject to these orders must be formally served with documents and can apply to vary or cancel the order if circumstances change substantially.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThese regulations ensure that prostitution restraining orders are handled consistently and fairly, with proper documentation and clear rules about how people are notified of legal action against them.
