(1)This section applies where—
(a)a competent authority has previously made a positive reasonable grounds decision in relation to a person (the “first RG decision”), and
(b)a further positive reasonable grounds decision is made in relation to the person, in a case where the reasonable grounds for believing that the person is a victim of slavery or human trafficking arise from things done wholly before the first RG decision was made (the “further RG decision”).
(2)If the competent authority considers it appropriate in the circumstances of a particular case, the authority may determine that the person may not be removed from, or required to leave, the United Kingdom during the period—
(a)beginning with the day on which the further RG decision is made, and
(b)ending with whichever of the following is the later—
(i)the day on which the conclusive grounds decision is made in relation to the further RG decision;
(ii)the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day mentioned in paragraph (a).
This is subject to section 63(2).
