Cessation and suspension of non-publication direction
10.—(1) A non‑publication direction ceases to have effect —
(a)
if the Attorney‑General cancels the direction under section 13(6) — on the date specified by the Attorney‑General in Form 3, even if Form 3 has not been served;
(b)
if the direction is specified to have effect until a certain date — on that date;
(c)
if the direction is specified to have effect for a period — on the expiry of that period; or
(d)
if the direction is specified to have effect until the occurrence of an event — on the occurrence of that event.
(2) If the Attorney‑General suspends a non‑publication direction under section 13(6) —
(a)
the suspension takes effect —
(i)
if the suspension is specified to take effect on a certain date — on that date;
(ii)
if the suspension is specified to take effect for a period — at the start of that period; or
(iii)
if the direction is specified to take effect on the occurrence of an event — on the occurrence of that event,
even if Form 2 is not served on the publisher to whom the direction applies; and
(b)
the suspension ceases to have effect —
(i)
if the suspension is specified to cease to have effect on a certain date — on that date;
(ii)
if the suspension is specified to cease to have effect at the end of a period — at the end of that period;
(iii)
if the suspension is specified to cease to have effect on the occurrence of an event — on the occurrence of that event; or
(iv)
on the date on which a notice of resumption in Form 4 is served on the publisher to whom the direction applies.
(3) To avoid doubt, nothing in this rule affects the effect of an order of court that sets aside or varies a non‑publication direction.
