Section 17
(a)
a detention order made under subsection 13(1);
(b)
a restriction order made under subsection 13(3); or
(c)
a detention order suspended under subsection 15(1)
(“suspended detention order”), direct that the duration of the order be extended for such further period, not exceeding two years for a detention order or five years for a restriction order, as the Board may specify, commencing immediately upon the expiration of its then current duration.
(2)
Where the Board directs for the duration of a detention order, restriction order or suspended detention order to be extended under subsection (1), it shall set out in the direction the grounds for the extension and state whether such grounds are—
(a)
the same as the grounds on which the order was originally made;
(b)
different from the grounds on which the order was originally made; or
(c)
partly the same grounds and partly different grounds.
(3)
Where the duration of a suspended detention order is extended under subsection (1), the duration of the direction for its suspension under subsection 15(1) shall be deemed to be extended for the duration of the extension of the suspended detention order together with the restrictions and conditions imposed in
Act 769
respect of such suspension, subject, if the Board so directs, to the requirement that the person against whom the detention order was made shall enter into a fresh bond as provided in paragraph 13(3)(k), and section 15 shall apply to such extended suspension in the same manner as it applies to an original suspension under subsection 15(1).
(4)
Where the direction under subsection (1) for the extension of the duration of a detention order or a suspended detention order is on grounds which fall under paragraph (2)(b) or (c), subsection 13(9) shall apply to such direction as if the direction were a fresh detention order.
(5)
The duration of a detention order, restriction order or suspended detention order which is extended under subsection
(1)
may be further extended from time to time for further periods not exceeding two years at a time, and the provisions of this section shall apply mutatis mutandis in relation to each such extension.
