Regulation 10

This paragraph shall apply to any security directive which does not contain a statement that the security measures are urgently required and that accordingly the security directive is to take effect immediately.

At any time before the end of the period of 2 weeks beginning with the date on which a security directive to which this paragraph applies is issued, the person to whom the security directive is issued may serve on the Commissioner a notice in writing objecting to the security directive, on the grounds that the security measures specified in the security directive are excessively onerous or inconvenient and should be modified in a manner specified in the notice.

Where a person serves a notice in writing under sub-paragraph (2), the Commissioner shall consider the grounds of the objection and, if so required by the objector, shall afford to him an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person (not being a police officer) appointed by the Commissioner for the purpose.

Where the objector appears before and is heard by a person appointed by the Commissioner under sub-paragraph (3), the person so appointed shall submit to the Commissioner his opinion in writing to enable the Commissioner to come to a decision on the objections.

The Commissioner shall, after considering the grounds of objection and, if applicable, the written opinion of the person appointed to hear the objector under sub-paragraph (3), serve on the objector a notice in writing —

Where a notice in writing has been served under sub-paragraph (2), the security directive shall not take effect until it has been confirmed (with or without modifications) by a notice served under sub-paragraph (5).
