130 Interim extension orders
The Supreme Court may make an order for the interim extension of a person’s status as a forensic patient if, in proceedings on an application for an extension order, it appears to the Court—
(a) that the limiting term or existing extension order to which the forensic patient is subject will expire before the proceedings are determined, and
(b) that the matters alleged in the supporting documentation would, if proved, justify the making of an extension order.
