If, on the day on which a domestic abuse protection order (“the new order”) is made against a person, the person is subject to another domestic abuse protection order (“the previous order”), the new order may be made so as to take effect on the previous order ceasing to have effect.
A domestic abuse protection order may also specify periods for which particular requirements imposed by the order have effect.
But a domestic abuse protection order may not provide for an electronic monitoring requirement to have effect for more than 12 months.
Subsection (5) is subject to any variation of the order under section 44.
A requirement imposed by a domestic abuse protection order has effect in all parts of the United Kingdom unless expressly limited to a particular locality.
