Banning orders: content
42
1
In this Chapter “banning order” means an order made by a court which prohibits the person who is subject to the order (“P”) from entering any premises for the purpose of attending regulated matches.
2
On making a banning order, a court must in ordinary language explain its effect to P.
3
A banning order must require P to report at a police station specified in the order within the period of 5 days beginning with the day on which the order is made.
4
A banning order must require P to give notification of the events mentioned in subsection (5) to the Chief Constable.
5
The events are—
a
a change of any of P's names;
b
the first use by P after the making of the order of a name for P that was not disclosed by P at the time of the making of the order;
c
a change of P's home address;
d
P's acquisition of a temporary address;
e
a change of P's temporary address or P's ceasing to have one;
f
an appeal made by P in relation to the order;
g
an application made by P under section 47(1) for termination of the order.
6
A notification required by a banning order by virtue of subsection (4) must be given before the end of the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the event in question occurs and—
a
in the case of a change of a name or address or the acquisition of a temporary address, must specify the new name or address; and
b
in the case of a first use of a previously undisclosed name, must specify that name.
7
Where P is detained in legal custody the requirement under subsection (3) to report at a police station is suspended until P's release from custody.
8
If—
a
P is released from custody more than 5 days before the expiry of the period for which the order has effect, and
b
P was precluded by being in custody from reporting under subsection (3),
the order is to have effect as if it required P to report at the police station specified in the order within the period of 5 days beginning with the date of P's release.

In this section—
- “home address”, in relation to P, means the address of P's sole or main residence;
- “temporary address”, in relation to P, means the address (other than P's home address) of a place at which P intends to reside, or has resided, for a period of at least 4 weeks.
