88 Requirement to give documents to protected person (1) This section applies if, under this Part, a court, a registrar or a police officer is required to give a document or information to the protected person named in a DVO. (2) If there is more than 1 protected person, the document or information must be given to each of them. (3) However, the requirement applies only if the protected person is an adult or young person. Example for section 88 Under section 63, a registrar is required to give a copy of a court DVO to the parties to the DVO. Accordingly, the registrar must give a copy of the DVO to each of the protected persons named in the DVO or the person acting for them if they are adults or young persons.
