The registrar need not hold a preliminary conference in relation to an application for a non-emergency protection order if the registrar is satisfied that the conference would not achieve its objects (completely or partly).
Note An interim order is made on an application for a final order, but does not need its own application. Because preliminary conferences are held in relation to applications for non-emergency protection orders, a preliminary conference need not be held in relation to an interim order, as long as the preliminary conference is held in relation to the application for the final order.
