Telephone order to be prepared and served
24 Telephone order to be prepared and served
If an authorised magistrate makes a telephone order the authorised person who made the application or introduced the applicant is to prepare and serve the order.
On receipt of the court copy of the order, the authorised magistrate is to check the order and, if it is correct, sign it and cause the signed copy to be kept on the court’s records.
If there is a discrepancy between the order made by the authorised magistrate and the written order prepared by the authorised person —
as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the discrepancy the registrar is to prepare a new telephone order correcting the discrepancy and serve that order; and
the original order (as prepared by the authorised person) is cancelled with effect from the time when the order prepared under paragraph (a) is served; and
the telephone order served under paragraph (a) remains in force for the period for which the original order would have remained in force if it had not been cancelled.
Section 16(2) does not apply to a telephone order served under subsection (3)(a).
