s 13 Part 2 direction — supplementary provisions

13.—(1) A Part 2 direction may be given to a person either individually or as a class. (2) A Part 2 direction is binding on —(a) the recipient; and (b) if applicable, the personal representatives, successors and assignees of the recipient to the same extent as it applies to the recipient. (3) It is not necessary to give any person who may be affected by a Part 2 direction a chance to be heard before the direction is given. (4) A Part 2 direction must —(a) so far as is reasonably practicable, identify the relevant account, relevant app, relevant material or relevant location (as the case may be) to which the direction relates in a way that is sufficient to enable the person given the direction to comply with the direction; (b) state whether the recipient must do all or any of the following, whichever being applicable:(i) notify the competent authority by the time specified in the direction of the means by which the person proposes to comply with the direction; (ii) keep information about the matters that are the subject of the direction for a time specified in the direction; (iii) regularly notify the competent authority at the times specified in the direction about the steps being taken towards compliance with the direction; (iv) give written notice to the competent authority when the person has complied with the direction; and (c) state that it is an offence under this Act to fail to comply with the direction. (5) The recipient of a Part 2 direction must comply with the Part 2 direction until the earlier of the following occurs:(a) the expiry date and time (if any) stated in the direction is reached; (b) the Part 2 direction is cancelled or substituted under section 14(1) or 17(1), or cancelled under section 41(3). (6) An access blocking direction may specify that relevant materials or relevant locations, or both (as the case may be) will be identified and the identities thereof transmitted to the recipient, from time to time, by the recipient’s chosen means of identification. (7) An access blocking direction described in subsection (6) that has been given to the recipient is deemed to be given in relation to any relevant material or relevant location that is subsequently identified and the identity of which is transmitted to the recipient by the recipient’s chosen means of identification, when data identifying the relevant material or the relevant location (as the case may be) becomes accessible by the recipient by that means. (8) An access blocking direction described in subsection (6) is deemed to be cancelled (in relation to any relevant material or relevant location that was identified and the identity of which was transmitted to the recipient by the recipient’s chosen means of identification) when the data identifying the relevant material or relevant location is no longer accessible by the recipient by that means, and in such a case no written notice of the cancellation needs to be given to the recipient.
