142O: Duration of banning order
or “A ban can last up to 10 years or less if the judge says so.”
You could also call this:

“The court can change or cancel a banning order, or add rules to it, whenever they need to.”

When a court makes a banning order, they can add specific terms and conditions to it. These are rules that you need to follow as part of the order. The court can decide what these terms and conditions should be.

If something changes, the court has the power to cancel the banning order or make changes to it. This means that the banning order isn’t always fixed and can be adjusted if needed.

Remember, only the court can make these decisions about banning orders. They have the authority to set the rules, cancel the order, or change it at any time.
