(4) If the application to the Supreme Court is made without notice of it being given to the person in relation to whom a preventative 25 detention order is being sought, the Supreme Court may, if in its opinion it is desirable to do so, make an interim preventative detention order pending the hearing and final determination of the application. 30 Note: The maximum period during which a person may be detained under an interim order is 48 hours or until the final determination of the application, whichever is the later: see sub- 35 section (6) and section 13G(3). 12 551393B.I1-16/11/2005 BILL LA INTRODUCTION 16/11/2005

(6) An interim preventative detention order that, but for this sub-section, would cease to have 15 effect before the application is finally determined, continues to have effect, subject to section 13G(2), until the application is finally determined. (7) On finally determining an application 20 following the making of an interim preventative detention order, the Supreme Court may by order-- (a) confirm the order without variation or vary the period specified in the order as 25 the period during which the person in relation to whom it is made may be detained under it; or Note: The period of detention in the confirmed 30 order may be extended, or further extended, under section 13I.

Terrorism (Community Protection) (Amendment) Act 2005 s. 4 Act No. (a) declare the police order to be void from its beginning; and (b) determine that the State should compensate the person, as assessed by the Supreme Court, in respect of any 5 loss sustained or damage incurred by the person as a direct and reasonable consequence of his or her detention under the police order. (11) If the Supreme Court makes a determination 10 under sub-section (10)(b), the State is liable to pay the compensation assessed by the Supreme Court and the Consolidated Fund is, to the necessary extent, appropriated for this purpose. 15 (12) If the person who is the subject of an application to the Supreme Court under section 13C is not legally represented on the hearing of the application (including a resumed hearing referred to in sub- 20 section (5)), the Supreme Court may order Victoria Legal Aid to provide legal representation for that person on that hearing if satisfied that it is in the interests of justice to do so having regard to the financial 25 circumstances of that person or any other circumstances.
