Extended supervision orders - Application for, and making of extended supervision orders

107GA: Application of section 107G during epidemic

You could also call this:

"What happens to your court hearing during an epidemic"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

If you are waiting for a court hearing about an extended supervision order, the court can delay it. This can happen if there is an epidemic and the court wants to postpone the hearing while an epidemic management notice is in force. The court can also delay the hearing after the notice has ended, if there are still many cases to be heard because of the epidemic.

The court can delay the hearing for up to 21 days without your agreement. This is allowed under section 107G(3) if the court thinks it is necessary. You will have to wait until the court is ready to hear your case again.
