# Domestic Abuse (Protection) (Scotland) Act 2021, Section 19: Relationship of notice or order with order regulating contact or residence

Status: prospective

For the avoidance of doubt—
(a) nothing in a court order which regulates contact with, or the residence of, a child limits the requirements or prohibitions that may be imposed by a notice or order under this Part, and
(b) accordingly, it is not a defence to a charge of committing an offence under section 7(1) or 17(1) that person A was doing something which person A was entitled to do by virtue of such a court order.
