(1) This section applies if the registrar adjourns a proceeding because the respondent has not been served with a copy of the application and a notice about the proceeding stating the date for the application's return before the Magistrates Court.
(2) The registrar may also amend any interim order made in relation to the application by extending it to take into account the delay caused by the adjournment.
(3) The registrar must not extend an interim order under subsection (2) for longer than 8 weeks.
Note
An interim order must not be extended if the extension would mean the
interim order would be in force for more than 16 weeks (see s 61 (2)).
