What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?

Deemed permission lasts for a 'specified period', a limited period during which the person may remain in the Territories. For persons of a Schedule 2 Part C description it is the period during which they continue to be of that description, or such other period (longer or shorter) as the Principal Immigration Officer determines. A person whose specified period has expired falls within section 13 (Removal orders). No one is entitled to live long-term or permanently in the Territories. The official source does not state whether family members can be included.
