Section 8 - Transitional provision

49.Section 8 makes transitional provision as regards contact orders made before the commencement of sections 4 and 5. The section provides for two ways in which warning notices can be attached to such contact orders. Either a specific application can be made for a warning notice to be attached to the contact order, or the court must attach a warning notice to the contact order if the contact order is in issue in any family proceedings. Attaching a warning notice makes it possible to apply for an enforcement order or an order for financial compensation against the person given the notice.
