Provisions of serious disruption prevention orders

I1I223Requirements in serious disruption prevention order

1

A serious disruption prevention order which imposes on a person (“P”) a requirement, other than a notification requirement under section 24, must specify a person who is to be responsible for supervising compliance with the requirement.

2

That person may be an individual or an organisation.

3

Before including such a requirement, the court must receive evidence about its suitability and enforceability from—

a

the individual to be specified under subsection (1), if an individual is to be specified;

b

an individual representing the organisation to be specified under subsection (1), if an organisation is to be specified.

4

Before including two or more such requirements, the court must consider their compatibility with each other.

5

It is the duty of a person specified under subsection (1)—

a

to make any necessary arrangements in connection with the requirements for which the person has responsibility (the “relevant requirements”);

b

to promote P’s compliance with the relevant requirements;

c

if the person considers that P—

i

has complied with all of the relevant requirements, or

ii

has failed to comply with a relevant requirement,

to inform the appropriate chief officer of police.

6

In subsection (5)(c) “the appropriate chief officer of police” means—

a

the chief officer of police for the police area in which it appears to the person specified under subsection (1) that P lives, or

b

if it appears to that person that P lives in more than one police area, whichever of the chief officers of police of those areas the person thinks it is most appropriate to inform.

7

Where P is subject to a requirement in a serious disruption prevention order, other than a notification requirement under section 24, P must—

a

keep in touch with the person specified under subsection (1) in relation to that requirement, in accordance with any instructions given by that person from time to time, and

b

notify that person of any change of P’s home address.

8

The obligations mentioned in subsection (7) have effect as if they were requirements imposed on P by the order.
