(b)on an application by any other person appearing to the court to have sufficient interest in the matter, or
(c)on the court's own motion.
(5)The court may make a restoration order only if it is satisfied that the proceedings for the order were brought no later than six years after the relevant act was committed.
(6)A failure to comply without a reasonable excuse with a restoration order made by the court under this section is a contempt of that court.
