An interim order made under sections 5, 11 and 15 on an ex parte application shall specify a date for a hearing which shall be as soon as practicable after the interim order is made in order to determine whether an order shall be made in substitution for the interim order.
The copy of an interim order which is served on the respondent shall notify the respondent that unless the respondent attends court on the date specified in the order to show cause why an order should not be made in substitution for the interim order, the court may discharge the interim order and make another order in substitution.
At the hearing referred to in subsection (1), the court may —
discharge the interim order;
discharge the interim order and make a substituted order; or
on good cause being shown, adjourn the hearing to a date and place as the court may specify.
Where a hearing is adjourned under subsection (3)(c) the court shall, at the subsequent hearing, exercise either the power conferred by paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection.
In this section —
"interim order" means an interim protection order, interim occupation order or interim tenancy order; and
"order" means a protection order, an occupation order or a tenancy order, not being an interim order.
