Section 20 of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act does not cause a freezing order to lapse automatically after 180 days where the Adjudicating Authority has authorised retention or continuation within that period. On the facts, the retention order had been passed in time, so the challenge based on the outer-limit argument failed.
