Section 19: Prohibition orders following conviction
This section enables a criminal court when sentencing an offender for an offence under sections 4 to 8 (or associated secondary offences) to make a prohibition order in addition to any custodial or non-custodial sentence which the court may pass. The test for making an order is that the court considers it necessary and proportionate to make an order for the purpose of preventing the offender from carrying on any prohibited activity. The court may make an order of its own volition, but it will be open to the prosecution to make representations to the court in this regard.
