Restrictions on period of detention under multiple preventative detention orders
12 Restrictions on period of detention under multiple preventative detention orders
The prescribed 24 hour period, for an initial order, is the period that ensures that in no case can a person be detained under the initial order longer than 24 hours after being taken into custody under any preventative detention order, or any order for the person’s detention made under a corresponding law, for the same terrorist act.
The prescribed 14 day period, for a final order, is the period that ensures that in no case can a person be detained under the final order longer than 14 days after being taken into custody under any preventative detention order, or any order for the person’s detention made under a corresponding law, for the same terrorist act.
If, because of the application of subsection (1) or (2), a period is nil for a particular order, the order can not be made.
