163Cancellation of closure order
1
The responsible senior police officer may cancel a closure order and any extension of it at any time—

b
before a relevant magistrates' court has determined whether to exercise its powers under section 165(2) in respect of the order and any extension of it.
2
The responsible senior police officer must cancel a closure order and any extension of it if he does not reasonably believe that—
a
in the case of an order made by virtue of section 161(1)(a), closure is necessary in the interests of public safety because of disorder or likely disorder on, or in the vicinity of and related to, the premises,
b
in the case of an order made by virtue of section 161(1)(b), closure is necessary to ensure that no public nuisance is, or is likely to be, caused by noise coming from the premises.
3
Where a closure order and any extension of it are cancelled under this section, the responsible senior police officer must give notice of the cancellation to an appropriate person connected with any of the activities related to the disorder (or anticipated disorder) or nuisance in respect of which the closure order was made.
