‘(5)    

Before making a drinking banning order, a court may receive a report from an

(ii)

(iii)    

affect his ability to comply with a drinking banning order.

(7)    

If the court determines that the proposed subject of a drinking banning order may

 

be a person falling within subsection (5)(a) to (c) above, the court shall not make

 

a drinking banning order unless satisfied, on receipt of medical evidence, that—

 

(a)    

his ability to understand and comply with the order will not be

 

significantly restricted by reason of his being a person falling within

 

subsection (5)(a) to (c) above; and

 

(b)    

compliance with the order, either alone or in combination to any other
