31 Supreme Court may make extended litigation restraint order instead of general litigation restraint order
(1) On an application under section 28, the Supreme Court may make an extended litigation restraint order against a person the subject of the application if the Court—
(a) is not satisfied that the person has persistently and without reasonable grounds commenced or conducted vexatious proceedings; and
(b) is satisfied that the person has frequently commenced or conducted vexatious proceedings against a person or other entity or in relation to a matter.
(2) An extended litigation restraint order made under this section may be made on the same terms as an extended litigation restraint order made by the Supreme Court under Part 3.
