IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Application for leave to apply to vary or cancel

As the restrained person, before you are allowed to apply to vary or cancel the restraining order you must apply for leave to make that application.

When you file your application for leave you must also file an affidavit setting out all the facts that you know about that are material to the application — this includes all the facts that may go against your application as well as the ones that support it. If you do not do this the court may reject your application.

At the hearing of the application for leave you must convince the court that there has been a substantial change in the relevant circumstances since the restraining order was made. If the court is not satisfied that there has been a substantial change of circumstances your application for leave will be dismissed

If the court is satisfied that there has been a substantial change of circumstances it will order you to serve a copy of this application on the person who originally applied for the restraining order (this will usually be the Commissioner of Police). That person will then be able to attend court to oppose your application for leave if he or she wishes to do so.

If the court grants you leave, you must then lodge an application to vary or cancel the restraining order.

If you do not attend the hearing of your application for leave, your application may be dismissed.
