Part 3: Prevention and investigation of terrorism Section 35: TPIMs: extension of time limit
Section 35 amends section 5 TPIMA 2011 to extend the maximum duration of a TPIM from two to five years. The effect of this is that a TPIM notice will continue to last for one year at a time but be capable of annual renewal up to a maximum of five years (provided the conditions in section 3 of that Act continue to be met).
	Sections 35(3) to (6) make consequential amendments to TPIMA 2011 flowing from the extension of the time limit to five years. In particular, subsection (7) makes it clear that the amendment to section 5 TPIMA 2011 does not apply to TPIM notices in place before this section comes into force: TPIMs imposed before this date will last for a maximum of 2 years.
