Part 2Prevention and investigation measures
Court scrutiny of imposition of measures
I1I244Directions hearing
1
This section applies if the court—
a
gives permission under section 42 for measures to be imposed on an individual, or
b
confirms under paragraph 4(3) of Schedule 8 (whether or not subject to paragraph 4(2) of that Schedule) a Part 2 notice which imposes measures on an individual.
2
The court must, at the hearing where it gives the permission or confirms the notice, give directions for a further hearing (a “directions hearing”)—
a
which, unless the court otherwise directs (whether in those directions or subsequently), is to be held within the period of 7 days beginning with the relevant day, and
b
which the individual is to have the opportunity to attend.
3
In a case where this section applies because the court gives permission under section 42, directions given under subsection (2) may not be served on the individual unless the Part 2 notice has been served on that individual.
4
At the directions hearing, the court must give directions for a further hearing (a “review hearing”) in relation to the imposition of measures on the individual.
5
Directions under subsection (4) must provide for the review hearing to be held as soon as reasonably practicable.
6
In this section “relevant day” means—
a
in a case falling within subsection (1)(a), the day on which the Part 2 notice imposing the measures is served on the individual;
b
in a case falling within subsection (1)(b), the day on which the court confirms the Part 2 notice.
