70NFE  Bonds

 (1) This section provides for bonds that a court may require a person to enter into under paragraph 70NFB(2)(b).

 (2) A bond is to be for a specified period of up to 2 years.

 (3) A bond may be:
 (a) with or without surety; and
 (b) with or without security.

 (4) The conditions that may be imposed on a person by a bond include (without limitation) conditions that require the person:
 (a) to attend an appointment (or a series of appointments) with a family consultant; or
 (b) to attend family counselling; or
 (c) to attend family dispute resolution; or
 (d) to be of good behaviour.

Note: Before imposing a condition under this subsection, the court must consider seeking the advice of a family consultant about the services appropriate to the person's needs (see section 11E).
