Modern Slavery Act 2015

Section 21:  Interim slavery and trafficking prevention orders

86.Subsections (1) and (2) provide for an interim STPO to be made where an application has been made for a STPO under section 15 and the court considers that it is just to do so. For example, the court may make an interim order in a case where it is satisfied that this is necessary for the purpose of protecting a person from immediate harm pending the full determination of the application for the order.

87.An interim order must be made for a specified period and ceases to have effect once the main application has been determined (subsection (7)). An interim order may be varied, renewed or discharged (subsection (8)).
