29Applications where domestic abuse protection notice has been givenE+W

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)This section applies where, as a result of a person (“P”) being given a domestic abuse protection notice under section 22, a chief officer of police is required by section 28(3) to apply for a domestic abuse protection order against P.

(2)The application must be heard by the magistrates' court not later than 48 hours after the notice was given to P.

(3)In calculating when the period of 48 hours mentioned in subsection (2) ends, the following days are to be disregarded—

(a)any Sunday,

(b)Christmas Day,

(c)Good Friday, and

(d)any day which is a bank holiday in England and Wales under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971.

(4)P must be given a notice of the hearing of the application.

(5)The notice under subsection (4) is to be treated as having been given if it has been left at the address given by P under section 25(4).

(6)But if the notice has not been given because P did not give an address under section 25(4), the court may hear the application if satisfied that the chief officer of police has made reasonable efforts to give P the notice.

(7)If the court adjourns the hearing of the application, the domestic abuse protection notice continues in effect until the application has been determined or withdrawn.

(8)If—

(a)P is brought before the court at the hearing of the application as a result of P's arrest by virtue of section 26(1) (arrest for breach of domestic abuse protection notice), and

(b)the court adjourns the hearing,

the court may remand P.
