101Deciding application if criminal proceedings

101 Deciding application if criminal proceedings The power of a court to make, amend or revoke a protection order in relation to a person may be exercised even if the person has been charged with, or convicted or found guilty of, an offence arising out of the same conduct as that out of which the application for the order arose. Note If the Magistrates Court is making an interim order and there is a related charge outstanding in relation to the respondent, the court must make a special interim order (see s 19 (1) (a)).
