- Court of Appeal
Section 87 requires an express judicial exercise of discretion specifying a date to defer expiry; filing a s85 extension or issuing a judicial conference notice does not automatically or in substance operate as a valid s87 deferral, and when a valid deferral lapses the compulsory care order expires and cannot be retrospectively reinstated by post‑expiry steps.
