This section applies where a court adjourns the hearing of an application for a criminal behaviour order.

The court may make a criminal behaviour order that lasts until the final hearing of the application or until further order (“an interim order”) if the court thinks it just to do so.

Section 22(6) to (8) and section 25(3) to (5) do not apply in relation to the making of an interim order.

Subject to that, the court has the same powers whether or not the criminal behaviour order is an interim order.
