#### 179C Application to revoke a preliminary unexplained wealth order
(1) If a court makes a \*preliminary unexplained wealth order requiring a person to appear before the court, the person may apply to the court to revoke the order.
(2) The application must be made:
(a) within 28 days after the person is notified of the \*preliminary unexplained wealth order; or
(b) if the person applies to the court, within that period of 28 days, for an extension of the time for applying for revocation—within such longer period, not exceeding 3 months, as the court allows.
(4) However, the \*preliminary unexplained wealth order remains in force until the court revokes the order.
(5) The court may revoke the \*preliminary unexplained wealth order on application under subsection (1) if satisfied that:
(a) there are no grounds on which to make the order at the time of considering the application to revoke the order; or
(b) it is in the public interest to do so; or
(c) it is otherwise in the interests of justice to do so.
