(2) Where an application is made under subsection (1), the Court may vary the order if it is satisfied that it is necessary to do so— (a) to avoid loss or prejudice to the applicant; (b) to avoid damage or loss to the applicant’s property; (c) because of the health of the applicant or his next of kin; or (d) in such other cases as the Court thinks fit. (3) Where a Court makes a variation order under subsection (2), the Court may— (a) on being satisfied that there are sufficient reasons for so doing, allow the applicant multiple departures from, and returns to, the country within a period specified by the Court; (b) impose on the applicant such other terms and conditions as it deems fit.
