An emergency rule may be in force for a period not exceeding 90 days, and may be renewed by the Director once only for a further period not exceeding 30 days.
The Minister may, by notice, at any time while an emergency rule is in force in accordance with subsection (1) extend the duration of the rule in accordance with subsection (3) for a further period not exceeding 180 days from the date of the publication of the rule under the Legislation Act 2019.
Before extending the duration of an emergency rule under subsection (2), the Minister must consult with any persons, representative groups within the aviation industry or elsewhere, government departments, and Crown agencies that the Minister considers appropriate.
A notice made under subsection (2) is secondary legislation (see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for publication requirements).
If, under the Legislation Act 2019, a notice made under subsection (2) is not required to be published, the Director must serve a copy of it on the persons (if any) whom the Director considers appropriate.
A notice to which subsection (5) applies—
- has effect only in relation to a person on whom it is served under subsection (5); and
- comes into force in relation to the person immediately after it is served on the person (even though it is not published).
Service under subsection (5) may be effected in any way the Director considers appropriate.
