(a)

where the order was made on an application by a chief officer of police, that chief officer;

(b)

the chief officer of police of the force maintained for any police area in which the person (“P”) against whom the order was made, or (in the case of an appeal against the decision of a court not to make an order under section 28) against whom it was sought, resides;

(c)

the chief officer of police of any other force maintained for a police area who believes that P is in that police area or is intending to come to it.

make any incidental or consequential orders that appear to it to be just.

(5)

For the purposes of section 45 (variation and discharge: supplementary)—

(a)

a domestic abuse protection order that has been confirmed or varied on an appeal (whether under subsection (4)(a) or otherwise) remains an order of the court that first made it, and

(b)

a domestic abuse protection order made by a court on an appeal (whether under subsection (4)(c) or otherwise) is to be treated as an order made by the court whose decision was appealed against.
