Order continues until application is determined
22DK Order continues until application is determined
If the period of operation of a support and engagement order ends while an application to extend that order is pending, the order does not cease to have effect at the end of that period.
Despite subsection (1), if, on any day while an application is pending, the total period during which the supported person has been subject to a support and engagement order reaches 2 years—
the order ceases to have effect on that day; and
the application to extend the order is taken to have been refused on that day.
If, on or after the specified end date for a support and engagement order, the court refuses an application to extend the order, the order ceases to operate on and after the day on which the application is refused.
For the purposes of this section—
an application to extend a support and engagement order is pending if the application has been made but has not yet been determined; and
the specified end date for a support and engagement order is the day that is the end of the period specified in the order under section 22CQ(1)(b).
