57—Review of Board's orders

        (1)         The Board must review the circumstances of a protected person—

            (a)         in the case of a protected person who is being detained in any place pursuant to an order of the Board—within six months of the making of the order and thereafter at intervals of not more than one year; and

            (b)         in any other case—at intervals of not more than three years,

for the purpose of ascertaining whether the order or orders to which the person is subject under this Act are still appropriate.

        (2)         The Board may conduct a review in such manner as it thinks fit.

        (3)         The Board must, on completion of a review, revoke the order or orders to which the protected person is subject unless the Board is satisfied that there are proper grounds for the order or orders remaining in force.

        (4)         If the Board is satisfied that there are proper grounds for an order remaining in force, the Board may, by order, vary the terms of the order.
