56 Holding evidential material for more than 90 days
Despite section 55(4)(b), the Regulator may —
apply to the Magistrates Court for an order allowing possession or control of evidential material for such further period as is specified in the order; and
if the Magistrates Court makes such an order — so retain possession or control of the material.
In determining the application, the Magistrates Court must allow the owner of the material to appear and be heard.
The Magistrates Court must not make an order allowing possession or control of the material for a further period unless it is satisfied that the order is necessary for the purposes of prosecuting an offence against this Act.
