‘When a sexual offences prevention order was made against an offender without a sufficient basis, it was not, prior to quashing, a nullity. Where such an order was made in relation to a person already subject to a sexual offences prevention order, the earlier order ceased to have effect, pursuant to section 107(6) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, despite the second order having been made without a sufficient basis.’
