F1Part 4Standard authorisations

Authorisation given: request for further authorisation

29

1

This paragraph applies if a standard authorisation—

a

has been given in relation to the detention of the relevant person, and

b

that authorisation (“the existing authorisation”) has not ceased to be in force.

2

Paragraph 24 does not require a new request for a standard authorisation (“the new authorisation”) to be made unless these conditions are met.

3

The first condition is that the new authorisation would be in force at a time immediately after the expiry of the existing authorisation.

4

The second condition is that the new authorisation would not be in force at any time on or before the expiry of the existing authorisation.

5

The third condition is that it would, in the managing authority's view, be unreasonable to delay making the request until a time nearer the expiry of the existing authorisation.

6

The expiry of the existing authorisation is the time when it is expected to cease to be in force.
