The release order expires at the end of the day on 31 December 2030, i.e., the date of expiry of the SPP in accordance with section 50ZG(6)(a). After the prisoner is released, the Commissioner issues a notice of recall to the prisoner under section 50ZK, requiring the prisoner to report at a specified prison on 15 December 2030. The prisoner remains unlawfully at large and only reports at the specified prison on 14 January 2031, i.e., 30 days later. Since the prisoner was unlawfully at large for 30 days, the date of expiry of the SPP is extended by 30 days. The SPP will now expire at the end of the day on 30 January 2031.
