    (1)     This section applies if an external reviewer has made a decision under section 220 in relation to an application by a young detainee to review a segregation direction.

    (2)     The external reviewer must give prompt written notice of the external reviewer's decision to—

        (a)     the young detainee; and

        (b)     if the young detainee is under 18 years old—a parent or someone who has daily care responsibility, or long-term care responsibility, for the young detainee; and

        (c)     if the young detainee is 18 years old or older—the young detainee's nominated person; and

Note     Under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1989
