Section 54 Interim CCE prevention ordersI1

This section applies where the court adjourns the hearing of an application (whether made with or without notice) for a CCE prevention order.

The court may, if it considers it necessary to do so, make a CCE prevention order lasting for a fixed period or until the determination of the application (an “interim CCE prevention order”).

Section 51(5) does not apply in relation to an interim CCE prevention order.

The only requirement that may be imposed by an interim CCE prevention order on the defendant is a requirement to comply with section 56 (notification requirements).

Subject to that, the court has the same powers in relation to an interim CCE prevention order as it has in relation to an order made at a final hearing.

An interim CCE prevention order made at a hearing of which the defendant was not given notice takes effect on being served on the defendant.

Nothing in subsection (2) prevents the variation of the duration of an interim CCE prevention order, or the discharge of such an order, under section 57.
