14—Prohibited contact order (person in relation to whom preventative
detention order is already in force)
(1) If a preventative
detention order is in force, a police officer may apply to an
issuing authority for a prohibited contact order in relation to the
subject’s detention under the preventative detention order.
(2) The application
must set out—
(a) the
terms of the order sought; and
(b) the
facts and other grounds on which the police officer considers that the order
should be made.
(3) The information in
the application for the prohibited contact order must be sworn or affirmed by
the police officer but, in a case of urgency, the issuing authority may make
the prohibited contact order on the police officer undertaking to swear or
affirm the information as soon as practicable after the order is made.
(4) If the
issuing authority is satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that making the
prohibited contact order will assist in achieving the purpose for which the
preventative detention order was made, the issuing authority may make a
prohibited contact order that the subject is not, while being detained under
the preventative detention order, to contact a person specified in the
prohibited contact order.
Note—
See section 6(3) and (5) for the purpose for which a preventative
detention order may be made.
(5) The prohibited
contact order must be in writing.
