61     Extension of general interim orders made by consent

    (1)     The Magistrates Court may, on application, amend a general interim order that is a consent order by extending it for an additional period, or further additional period, of up to 8 weeks.

    (2)     However, a general interim order must not be extended if the extension would mean the order would be in force for more than 16 weeks.

Note 1     The registrar may extend a general interim order if the application for the final order has not been served on the respondent (see s 41F) or if the registrar is exercising the Magistrates Court's jurisdiction to make a consent order.

Note 2     A special interim order made as a consent order continues in force until the application for the final order is decided (see s 42A).
