Section 91(14) orders: further provision 91A 1 This section makes further provision about orders under section 91(14) (referred to in this section as “ section 91(14) orders ”).

2 The circumstances in which the court may make a section 91(14) order include, among others, where the court is satisfied that the making of an application for an order under this Act of a specified kind by any person who is to be named in the section 91(14) order would put—
