### sec.35 Consideration of application
The Supreme Court judge—
must decide the application as quickly as possible; and
may consider any representations made by the monitor; and
may make the orders the judge considers appropriate for deciding the application, including, for example, an order suspending the operation of the decision on the application pending the outcome of an appeal; and
may approve or refuse to approve the continued exercise of the detention power.
interim orders
orders adjourning the application until the commissioner gives the judge additional information
orders approving the release of some individuals but continuing the detention of others
However, the Supreme Court judge may approve the application only if satisfied continued use of the detention power is reasonably necessary to prevent a serious risk to the life or health of individuals not already affected by the CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency.
If the Supreme Court judge does not decide the application before the end of the first 48 hours of the CBR emergency, it is lawful for the CBRE commander to continue to exercise the detention power until the application is finally decided.
