205EB Extending the period for instituting proceedings for recovery of suspected prohibited psychoactive substances
A person who has been given a notice under paragraph 205EA(2)(b) in relation to goods may, before the end of the applicable period under paragraph 205EA(4)(a), apply to a magistrate for an extension, or a further extension, of the period.
If the magistrate is satisfied that:
it is necessary that the retention of the goods continue while information is assembled relating to whether the goods are a prohibited psychoactive substance; and
there has been no avoidable delay in assembling that information;
the magistrate may order that the period be extended, or further extended, for a period specified in the order.
