(2) The rules may, in particular, make provision—
(a)as to the form in which any application is to be made or direction is to be given;
(b)prescribing the persons who are to be notified of—
(i)the making, or extension, of an emergency protection order; or

(a)an emergency protection order has been made with respect to a child;
(b)the applicant for the order was not the authority within whose area the child is ordinarily resident; and

that authority shall (subject to its having complied with any requirements imposed by the regulations) be treated, for the purposes of this Order, as though it and not the original applicant had applied for, and been granted, the order.
