Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2020.
Subject to subsection (2), where an Interim Orders Committee has made an order under section 59L(1), the Interim Orders Committee or another Interim Orders Committee appointed in its place —
Interim Orders Committee
“Interim Orders Committee” means a committee appointed by the Medical Council under section 59A;
must review the order within the period of 6 months beginning on the date the order was made, and must, for so long as the order continues in force, further review it before the end of the period of 3 months beginning on the date of the decision of the immediately preceding review; and
may review the order where new evidence relevant to the order has become available after the making of the order.
Where the General Division of the High Court has extended an order under section 59P(2) or an Interim Orders Committee has made a replacement order under section 59N(1)(c) or (d), the first review after such extension or making of the replacement order must take place —
if the order (or the order which has been replaced) had not been reviewed under subsection (1) — within the period of 6 months beginning on the date on which the General Division of the High Court ordered the extension or on which the replacement order was made, as the case may be; or
if the order (or the order which has been replaced) had been reviewed under subsection (1) — within the period of 3 months beginning on the date on which the General Division of the High Court ordered the extension or on which the replacement order was made.
