22: Duration of non-consorting order

You could also call this:

“Non-consorting orders last for 3 years unless stopped early”

A non-consorting order starts working as soon as it’s made. It keeps working for 3 years unless someone stops it earlier. This means that for 3 years, you have to follow the rules in the order. But if someone decides to end the order before the 3 years are up, you don’t have to follow it anymore.
