(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the Commissioner must revoke a public safety order if the Commissioner becomes aware that the order was erroneously made or that the grounds for its making no longer exist.

(3) A public safety order that is made or varied by the Commissioner may be subsequently varied or revoked only by the Commissioner.

Note : See also section 87T concerning the service and notification of variations to public safety orders.

(5) The revocation of a public safety order takes effect when the person to whom the order applies is served by means of personal service with a written notice of the revocation.

(6) If a public safety order applies to more than one person and a variation or revocation is served on those persons at different times, the order continues in force in relation to a person to whom the order applies until--

(a) in the case of a variation--the varied order is served on, or otherwise brought to the notice of, the person in accordance with section 87T, or

(b) in the case of a revocation--the written notice of revocation is served on the person.
