103JMaking of new orders

103J Making of new orders (1) Nothing in this Chapter prevents a person from applying for, or an issuing authority from making, a local DVO even though there is a recognised DVO in force that applies to the same respondent. (2) However, if a police officer makes a police DVO that applies to a respondent and protected person and there is a recognised DVO in force that applies to the same respondent and protected person (existing comparable DVO), the police DVO is not a recognised DVO for section 103E until it is confirmed under section 82. (3) If a police officer makes a police DVO that provides additional protections for a protected person over and above the protections provided for the person by an existing comparable DVO, the police DVO can be enforced in the Territory to the extent of the additional protections. (4) Subsection (3) applies until one of the following occurs: (a) a later recognised DVO that applies to the same respondent and protected person comes into force; (b) the police DVO is confirmed (with or without variations); (c) the police DVO is revoked.
