Urgent orders
31 Urgent orders
Despite section 30, if a police officer is satisfied that a public safety order (as made or varied) should become binding on a person as a matter of urgency—
the officer may communicate the contents of the order, or the order as so varied, verbally to any person to whom the order relates and advise such person of the place at which the person may obtain a written copy of the order and a notification in accordance with this section; and
on the information described in paragraph (a) being communicated to the person, the order, or the order as so varied, will be binding on the person.
The police officer who verbally communicates the order to the person must ensure that—
a copy of the order; and
the notification that would have been required to accompany the order if the order had been served on the person in accordance with section 30, is available for collection by the person at the place referred to in subsection (1)(a) (during the ordinary business hours applicable to that place) on the next business day following the day on which the order was communicated to the person.
