Conclusion
Given that the threshold for imposing interim SCPOs is substantially lower than for full SCPOs, there is a risk that they could be imposed in circumstances that do not justify a full SCPO. (Conclusion, Paragraph 166) To ensure respect for Convention rights, the prosecuting authorities and the courts must be careful to only seek and impose these interim orders where risks are imminent, such that an interim order is required. (Recommendation, Paragraph 166) 64
