The provision for eight working days gives far greater flexibility to the courts than would be the case with eight days. For example, with eight working days an ex parte order granted on Monday, 23 December next would expire on Monday, 6 January next. If the period were eight days it would expire on 30 December and the court would have to sit on that day or earlier. It is, of course, true that this is a greater imposition on the respondent than eight days would be, but it is not an excessive period or a disproportionate abridgement of the rights of the respondent under the Constitution.
