14. Postponement of decision by immigration officer
An immigration officer may, for the purpose of making further inquiry and for such period as may be necessary therefor, postpone whether an immigrant is or is not a prohibited immigrant and in any such case may, on such conditions as he or she may deem expedient, grant a permit to the immigrant to remain in Saint Lucia:
Provided that the grant of such a permit shall not prejudice in any way the making of the decision as to whether the immigrant is or is not a prohibited immigrant, or the taking of any action unde this Act as a consequence of such decision provided however that no such action shall be taken while such permit is still in force.
