(1) A court making an
FVRO or VRO must consider whether it should include a restraint prohibiting
the person who is bound by the order from —
(a)
being in possession of any explosives; or
(b)
obtaining, or being in possession of, an explosives licence.
(2) A person who is
bound by a restraint under subsection (1) must give up possession, to a person
and in a manner prescribed by the regulations, of all explosives and
explosives licences held by the person who is bound.
(3) A person who is
subject to the operation of subsection (2) and who is lawfully in possession
of explosives or an explosives licence immediately before the order is made
under subsection (1) is not in breach of the order if the person is in
possession of the explosives or explosives licence during the period necessary
to comply with the terms of the order.
(4) In addition to the
operation of subsection (1), a court may permit the person who is bound by an
FVRO or VRO to have possession of explosives, and, if necessary, an explosives
licence relating to the explosives, on such conditions as the court thinks fit
and specifies as part of the FVRO or VRO.
