Part 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.
