Section 13X(1) or 13Y does not apply if the actions of the person being detained under the preventative detention order make it impracticable for the police officer to comply with that section.

The police officer detaining the person under the preventative detention order complies with section 13X(1) if the police officer informs the person in substance of the matters covered by section 13X(2) (even if this is not done in language of a precise or technical nature).
S. 13Z(3) amended by No. 37/2014 s. 10(Sch. item 167.22(c)).
The police officer who is detaining the person under the preventative detention order must arrange for the assistance of an interpreter in complying with section 13X(1) or 13Y if the police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is unable, because of inadequate knowledge of the English language or a disability, to communicate with reasonable fluency in that language.
Without limiting subsection (3), the assistance of the interpreter may be provided by telephone.
The lawfulness of a person's detention under a preventative detention order is not affected by a failure to comply with section 13X(1) or 13Y or subsection (3) of this section.
