### sec.100ZD Decision of court about police protection direction
Part 3 applies to the court hearing and deciding an application for a protection order taken to have been made under section 100ZB in relation to a police protection direction.
However, in addition to the orders the court may make under part 3 in relation to the application, the court may also make—
an order setting aside the police protection direction; or
an order that the police protection direction ends on a stated day; or
a decision to dismiss the application.
If the court makes an order setting aside the police protection direction—
the direction is taken never to have been issued; and
the direction does not form part of the respondent’s domestic violence history; and
despite paragraphs (a) and (b) , a proceeding may be started or continued against the respondent for an offence, committed before the direction was set aside, against section 177A .
If the court makes an order that the police protection direction ends on a stated day—
the direction ends on the stated day; and
the part of the respondent’s domestic violence history relating to the direction must include the following information—
the court’s order;
the day the direction ends under paragraph (a) .
If the court decides to dismiss the application—
the police protection direction continues unaffected by the application under section 100Z ; and
another application under section 100Z by the same applicant may be made in relation to the police protection direction only with the leave of the court.
