Commentary on Sections Part 10 – Criminal Justice Chapter 2 – Powers of Court on Conviction Section 172 - Power to direct the ending of restrictions under a public protection order
This section provides the Department of Justice with the power to end restrictions if it is of the view that a public protection order with restrictions is no longer needed to protect the public from serious physical or psychological harm. On the ending of restrictions, the public protection order has the same effect as a public protection order without restrictions.
