Australian Capital Territory Current Acts

CRIMES (CHILD SEX OFFENDERS) ACT 2005 - SECT 132N

    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     an application is made under section 132M for the registration of a corresponding prohibition order for a person; and

        (b)     the application does not include details of amendment sought for the corresponding protection order to operate effectively in the ACT under section 132M (2) (c).

    (2)     The Magistrates Court must register the corresponding prohibition order if the court is satisfied that—

        (a)     the person is a registrable offender; and

        (b)     the corresponding prohibition order is in force; and

        (c)     if the law of the foreign jurisdiction in which the order was made required the order to be served on the person—the order was served on the person under that law.

    (3)     However, if the Magistrates Court considers that the corresponding prohibition order requires amendment to operate effectively in the ACT, the court may, on its own initiative, deal with the application under section 132P (Registration of corresponding prohibition order—with amendment).

Note     If the Magistrates Court considers the corresponding prohibition order requires amendment to operate effectively in the ACT, the court must set a return date for the hearing of the application (see s 132Y).
