Measures proposed to be carried out only if particular circumstances arise

13.  In applying the criteria in this Part of this Schedule in a case where a measure is proposed to be carried out only if particular circumstances arise, any question—

(a)whether the measure would be in P’s best interests,

(b)whether failure to carry out the measure would create a particular risk, or

(c)whether carrying out the measure would be a proportionate response,

is to be decided on the basis of what the situation would be if those circumstances arose.
