Section 27: Contents of risk orders
120.Section 27 makes provision about the prohibitions or requirements (or both) that may be contained in a TERO. Each prohibition and requirement in a TERO is for a fixed period and the order itself is for a fixed period. The orders and the prohibitions or requirements may all be for the same period. However, the Act allows some requirements and prohibitions in the order to be set for a shorter period, if that is appropriate.
121.Subsection (2) provides that both the order and any prohibition or requirement in the order must have a specified fixed period of at least two years. However, this does not apply to a prohibition on foreign travel or to an order that contains a prohibition on foreign travel and no other prohibitions or requirements. Such a prohibition (or an order containing only such a prohibition) must be for a fixed period of no more than five years under section 28(1)).
122.Subsection (4) provides that a TERO may prohibit the person in respect of whom the order is made from doing things or require that person to do things. Different prohibitions and requirements may have effect for different periods.
123.Subsection (5) provides that if the sheriff makes a TERO in relation to a person already subject to such an order, the earlier order will cease to have effect.
