Use the current official form: This guide explains the role of Form F54.1 under Rule 15-1(1)(d.2), (2.4); Family Law Act s.187. Always check the current Rules and official form before filing, serving or relying on a deadline.
What Form F54.1 is for
The current prescribed form for an order terminating a Family Law Act protection order.
Key points
- The current form title is “Order Terminating a Protection Order.”
- The form identifies the protection order being terminated and the effective termination date.
- It records the court’s termination order; it is not the application or evidence seeking termination. Under Rule 15-1(2.4), the registrar provides a copy of the termination order to the Protection Order Registry and all parties.
Practical steps
- Identify the existing protection order precisely.
- Use the proper application procedure to seek termination under the Family Law Act and Rules.
- Prepare F54.1 to match the terms actually ordered.
- Confirm the entered termination order is handled under Rule 15-1(2.4).
Common mistakes
- Using the old “change of protection order” title without checking the current form.
- Assuming the order ends before the court actually terminates it.
- Putting unrelated relief into the protection-order form.
