(A) when the order is made;

(B) if another preventative detention order, or an order for the detention of the person under a corresponding law, is in force for the person for the same terrorist act—when the other order ceases to have effect; and

(ii) ends a stated period of time after the person is first taken into custody under the order.

(ii) if that period is extended or further extended under section 21—that period as extended or further extended;

(b) the order is in force for the person;

a police officer may apply to the issuing authority for an extension, or a further extension, of the period for which the order is to be in force for the person. (2) The application must be in writing and state—

(a) the facts and other grounds on which the police officer considers that the extension, or further extension, is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which the order was made; and Note— See section 8 (3) and (5) for the purpose for which a preventative detention order may be made.

(b) the outcomes and particulars of all previous applications for extensions, or further extensions, of the order.

(3) Also, if the person is a child or of impaired capacity, the application must state—

(a) whether the person may be contacted under section 61 while being further detained under the order; and

(b) if the person should not be contacted under section 61 while being further detained under the order because the contact would seriously prejudice national security—the grounds for preventing the contact.

(2) The extension, or further extension, must be made in writing as an order. (3) The period as extended, or further extended, must end no later than the prescribed 24 hour period after the person is first taken into custody under the order. (4) Also, if the person is a child or of impaired capacity, the extension, or further extension, may state that the person may not be contacted under section 61 while being further detained under the order. (5) The only basis for a decision under subsection (4) is that preventing the contact is necessary because the contact would seriously prejudice national security.

(2) The person and the person’s lawyer are entitled to be present when the application is heard, either in person or, if the issuing authority directs, by video link.

(b) if the information would not have to be disclosed in a proceeding because of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 , section 803.

s 23 amd 2000 No. 5 s 810 sch 4 (amd 2006 No. 26 ss 84, 86); 2007 No. 34 s 21 24 PIM must be notified The applicant must notify the PIM of the application under arrangements decided by the PIM. 25 Issuing authority may make final order (1) On application by the police officer, the issuing authority may make a final order under this section for the person. (2) The order may be made whether or not an application has been made for an initial order for the terrorist act. (3) Subsection (1) has effect subject to the following sections—

• section 8 (Basis for applying for, and making, a preventative detention order)

• section 9 (No preventative detention order for person under 16 years of age)

• section 11 (Restrictions on subject matter of multiple preventative detention orders)

• section 12 (Restrictions on period of detention under multiple preventative detention orders).

Note— If a previous preventative detention order has been made, section 8 requires the issuing authority to consider afresh the merits of making the order and to be satisfied, after taking into account relevant information, including any information that has become available since the other order was made, of the matters mentioned in section 8 (3) or (5) before making the order. (4) A final order is an order that the person may be taken into custody and detained, or further detained, during a period that—

(b) that the person must be contacted under section 61 after the end of the 24 hour period within a period stated in the order.

(10) The only basis for making a decision under subsection (9) is that preventing the contact is necessary because the contact would seriously prejudice national security. (11) The issuing authority may also include in the order provision for the person to have contact with a child of the person in addition to the provision for contact under section 56. s 25 amd 2007 No. 34 s 18 sch 26 Duration of final order (1) A final order for the person starts to have effect when it is made.

(8) To remove any doubt, it is declared that—

(a) the release of the person under subsection (1) from detention under the preventative detention order does not extend the period for which the preventative detention order remains in force for the person; and Note— This means that the time for which the person may be detained under the order continues to run while the person is released.
