Final provisionsU.K.

28NoticesU.K.

(1)In a case where the Secretary of State serves a TPIM notice, a revival notice or an extension notice on an individual, the Secretary of State must, by a further notice, give the following information to the individual—

(a)the period for which the TPIM notice will be in force;

(b)the day on which the TPIM notice comes, or came, into force; and

(c)the day on which the TPIM notice will expire;

and, in the case of a revival or extension notice, “TPIM notice” means the TPIM notice which is revived or extended by that notice.

(2)An individual is not bound by—

(a)a TPIM notice,

(b)a revival notice, or

(c)a variation notice insofar as it gives notice of a variation that is neither a relaxation or removal of measures, nor a variation with the individual's consent,

unless the notice is served personally on the individual.

(3)An individual is not bound by an extension notice unless the notice is—

(a)served personally on the individual, and

(b)so served before the TPIM notice to which it relates would otherwise expire.

(4)Any of the following notices must be served on the individual to whom the notice relates—

(a)a revocation notice;

(b)a variation notice insofar as subsection (2)(c) does not apply to it;

(c)a confirmation notice.

(5)Any of the following notices may be proved by the production of a document purporting to be certified by the Secretary of State as a true copy of the notice—

(a)a TPIM notice;

(b)an extension notice;

(c)a revocation notice;

(d)a revival notice;

(e)a variation notice;

(f)a confirmation notice.

(6)But that does not prevent the proof of such a notice in other ways.

(7)In this section—

29Financial and supplemental provisionU.K.

(2)The following are to be paid out of money provided by Parliament—

30Interpretation etcU.K.

(1)In this Act—

(2)In a case where—

(a)a TPIM notice has come into force in relation to an individual, and

(b)by virtue of the coming into force of that TPIM notice, terrorism-related activity which occurred before the coming into force of that notice has ceased to be new terrorism-related activity (within the meaning of section 3(6)) in relation to that individual for the purposes of that section,

the Secretary of State is not prevented from taking account of that activity for the purposes of the continued imposition, or subsequent imposition, of measures on that individual.

(3)For the purposes of the definition of “new terrorism-related activity” in section 3, if a TPIM notice is revived under section 13(6), a reference to the notice coming into force is a reference to it coming into force by virtue of section 5(1) (and not to it coming back into force by virtue of section 13(9)).

(4)For the purpose of determining what measures may be imposed on an individual, it is immaterial whether the involvement in terrorism-related activity to be prevented or restricted by the measures is connected with matters to which the Secretary of State's belief for the purpose of condition A relates.

(5)A failure by the Secretary of State to consider an application by an individual for—

(a)the revocation of a TPIM notice, or

(b)the variation of measures specified in a TPIM notice,

is to be treated as a decision by the Secretary of State not to revoke, or not to vary, the TPIM notice.

(6)Subsections (2) to (5) apply for the purposes of this Act.

31Short title, commencement and extentU.K.
