I move amendment No. 22:

In page 81, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:

"(2) The amendments effected by subsection (1) shall not affect any order made prior to the commencement of this section, but on or after the commencement of this section, the court may make such amendment to such order, or such further order, as may be appropriate in the circumstances.".

We tabled this amendment because the section fails to make clear the effect, for example, of the new wording on restraint orders that have already been made. We are trying to address that issue.
