21K Maximum period of detention

(1)

The maximum period for which a person may be detained under a preventative detention order is 14 days less any period the person is actually detained under a preventative detention order, or an order for the person's detention made under a corresponding law against the person, in relation to the same terrorist act.

(2)

Despite subsection (1), the maximum period for which a person may be detained under a preventative detention order made on the basis of preserving evidence of, or relating to, a terrorist act that has occurred is not reduced by any period for which the person is detained under a preventative detention order, or an order for the person's detention under a corresponding law, made on the basis of preventing a terrorist act.
