Paragraph 5 Applications for suspension orders: non-disclosure dutyI1

United Kingdom Not yet in force

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

This paragraph applies where notice of an application for a suspension order is given to the person against whom the order is sought.

(2)

That person must not disclose the making of the application or its contents to any person except—

(a)

with the permission of a judge, or

(b)

with the written permission of an appropriate officer (who in England and Wales or Northern Ireland must be within the same sub-paragraph of paragraph 14(1)(a) or (b) as the appropriate officer who made the application for a suspension order).

(3)

If the application for a suspension order is dismissed, withdrawn or abandoned sub-paragraph (2) ceases to apply, subject to sub-paragraph (4).

(4)

If the application for a suspension order is dismissed a judge may, on the application of an appropriate officer, make an order that sub-paragraph (2) is to continue to apply.

(5)

An order under sub-paragraph (4) must specify or describe when sub-paragraph (2) is to cease to apply.

(6)

If the judge grants the application for a suspension order, sub-paragraph (2) ceases to apply—

(a)

if the suspension order does not impose a non-disclosure requirement under paragraph 6, when the suspension order is made, or

(b)

if the suspension order imposes a non-disclosure requirement under paragraph 6, when that requirement expires.
