### sec.176B Recognised interstate order prevails over earlier comparable DVOs
A recognised interstate order (a new order ) prevails over either of the following made before the new order (each an earlier comparable DVO )—
a comparable recognised interstate order; or
a comparable local order.
When the new order becomes enforceable against the respondent—
the earlier comparable DVO stops being a recognised interstate order; or
the earlier comparable local order stops having effect.
A local order that stops having effect under subsection (2) is taken to have ended under section 97 .
However, an earlier comparable DVO continues to be a recognised interstate order or local order, and to have effect, to the extent it relates to a person who is not a protected person under the new order.
A DVO made by a police officer does not prevail over a comparable DVO made by a court of any State.
A DVO is comparable with another DVO if—
the DVOs are made against the same respondent; and
the DVOs are made for the protection of 1 or more of the same protected persons.
