142N: Terms of banning order
or “A banning order tells someone what they can't do as an employer or boss”
You could also call this:

“A ban can last up to 10 years or less if the judge says so.”

When you get a banning order under section 142M, it will last for 10 years. However, the order might say it lasts for a shorter time instead. The order will be in effect for as long as it says, whether that’s the full 10 years or a shorter time.
