(3) The return date must be— (a) not later than 2 days after the day the application is made; or (b) not later than 10 days after the day the application is made if— (i) the chief police officer is not seeking an interim prohibition order on the application; and (ii) the Magistrates Court is satisfied that the longer time is necessary to allow the person to be served with the application.
