Any of the following persons may apply to the Childrens Court to revoke the registration of an interstate transfer decision or associated interim order under this part—
the chief executive;
the litigation director;
the child the subject of the proceeding;
a parent of the child;
a party to the proceeding;
a person entitled under the interstate law of the participating State to receive notice of the proceeding.
The registrar must immediately give a copy of the application to—
the interstate officer for the participating State; and
each person mentioned in subsection (1) .
The court may grant the application and revoke the registration only if it is satisfied that, when the interstate transfer decision or associated interim order was registered—
the period for appealing, or applying for review of, the decision or order had not expired; or
the decision or order was the subject of an appeal or application for review; or
the decision or order was stayed.
Immediately after the registration of the decision or order is revoked, the registrar must—
notify the interstate officer for the participating State and the registrar of the Childrens Court in that State; and
return the documents relating to the decision or order that were filed in the court under section 235 .
To remove doubt, it is declared that revocation of the registration of the interstate transfer decision or associated interim order does not prevent a re-registration of the decision or order.
