 (7) However, the prosecutor need not advise the court or give the Attorney‑General notice about the written answer under subsection (6) if the information disclosed by the written answer:
 (a) is the subject of a certificate or advice given to the prosecutor under section 26 and the certificate still has effect; or
 (b) is the subject of an order that is in force under section 22 or 31.

Adjournment to allow sufficient time for Attorney‑General to act on the notice
