Commentary on provisions of Act Section 7: Variation or revocation of order
This section permits a judge to vary or revoke an overseas production order where a person defined in subsection (2) makes an application. The person affected by the order may apply for a variation or revocation, as may the appropriate officer who applied for it. Likewise, the Secretary of State or Lord Advocate who is responsible for serving the order (see section 9), may also apply for it to be varied or revoked.
	The application for a variation must specify the relevant designated international co-operation arrangement by reference to which it is made, and must specify or describe the data in respect of which the varied order is sought. Excepted electronic data may not be specified, and the judge may only vary the order to the extent that the requirements imposed by section 4 continue to be fulfilled.
