[22LA. Restrictions on right to make request under section 22L---(1) A
 request may be made to the Registrar under section 22L of this Act in
 respect of an order relating to the custody of, or access to, a child
 if, and only if,---
   (a) In the case of a request made by or on behalf of a person having
         rights of custody in relation to the child pursuant to the
         order, the person by or on whose behalf the request is made---
           (i) Believes, on reasonable grounds, that another person will
         apply, in a prescribed overseas country, for custody of the
         child; or
           (ii) Is unable to have the order enforced in New Zealand
         because the child was removed from New Zealand, without the
         consent of that person, during the course of the proceedings in
         which the order was made:
   (b) In the case of a request made by or on behalf of a person having
         rights of access in relation to the child pursuant to the order,
         the person by or on whose behalf the request is made believes,
         on reasonable grounds, that it is necessary to register the
         order in a prescribed overseas country in order to ensure that
         the person's rights of access may be enforced in that country.

   (2) Where any request is made to the Registrar under section 22L of
 this Act, the Registrar may require the person by or on whose behalf the
 request is made to supply to the Registrar such evidence in support of
 that request as may be necessary to enable the Registrar to determine
 whether or not the requirements of this section, as they relate to the
 making of that request, are met, and the Registrar may refuse to take
 any further action on that request until that evidence is so supplied.]
