What People Expect
A parent may believe that a section 91(14) order permanently closes the door on ever bringing a future application to court.
Court Reality
A section 91(14) order is a filter, not an outright bar. A parent can still apply for the court's permission to bring a new application, and if they can show genuine change and insight into their previous behaviour, permission can be granted.
