    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     a licensee is subject to a final or interim protection order (the current protection order ) under the Personal Violence Act 2016

; and

        (b)     the Magistrate Court orders that the licensee's minors firearms licence not be—

              (i)     suspended under section 36 (3) (Interim orders—respondent's firearms); or

              (ii)     cancelled under section 37 (3) (Final orders—respondent's firearms).

    (2)     The registrar must decide whether the licensee continues to be suitable to hold the minors firearms licence—

        (a)     having regard to the criteria in section 18 and section 19 that apply to the licensee; but

        (b)     disregarding the current protection order.

Note     If the registrar is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the licensee is not suitable, the registrar must cancel the licensee's licence (see s 98 (c)).

    (3)     If the registrar cancels the licensee's minors firearms licence because of this section, the registrar must give the Magistrates Court written notice of the decision.
