Abstract: 

The court will set aside (not grant) a protection order if neither the complainant nor the respondent appears before court, or if one or both of the parties ask it to do so.

The complainant (the person who lodged the complaint) or the respondent (the person against whom the complaint was lodged) may apply for the variation (changing) or setting aside of a protection order by giving written notice to both the other party and the court.

If the court believes that the application was made freely and voluntarily, it can decide to vary or set aside the protection order.
