An authorisation under section 48 has effect, subject to subsections (2) to (7), during the period —
beginning at the time when the authorisation is given; and
ending with a date or at a time specified in the authorisation.
The date or time specified under subsection (1)(b) must not occur after the end of the period of twenty-eight days beginning with the day on which the authorisation is given.
The person who gives an authorisation shall inform the Governor as soon as is reasonably practicable.
If an authorisation is not confirmed by the Governor before the end of the period of forty-eight hours beginning with the time when it is given —
it shall cease to have effect at the end of that period, but
its ceasing to have effect shall not affect the lawfulness of anything done in reliance on it before the end of that period.
Where the Governor confirms an authorisation he may substitute an earlier date or time for the date or time specified under subsection (1)(b).
The Governor may cancel an authorisation with effect from a specified time.
An authorisation may be renewed in writing by the person who gave it or by a person who could have given it; and subsections (1) to (6) shall apply as if a new authorisation were given on each occasion on which the authorisation is renewed.
