97: Terms and conditions of orders

You could also call this:

“Courts can set rules for their decisions”

When a court makes an order under sections 87 to 89, 93, or 95, they can set any terms and conditions they think are right. This means the court can decide how the order should work and what rules should apply to it. You can think of it like when your teacher sets rules for a class activity - they can make the rules that they think will work best for everyone.
