Criminal Justice Bill
Schedule 9 — Breach or amendment of suspended sentence order, and effect of further conviction
Part 3 — Amendment of suspended sentence order

    208

 

          (3)      The court may not amend under this paragraph a suspended sentence order

which contains requirements which, in the opinion of the court, cannot be

complied with unless the offender resides in the petty sessions area

concerned unless, in accordance with paragraph 14 it either—

              (a)             cancels those requirements, or

5

              (b)             substitutes for those requirements other requirements which can be

complied with if the offender does not reside in that area.

          (4)      The court may not amend under this paragraph any suspended sentence

order imposing a programme requirement unless it appears to the court that

the accredited programme specified in the requirement is available in the

10

other petty sessions area.

          (5)      In this paragraph “the appropriate court” has the same meaning as in

paragraph 12.

Amendment of community requirements of suspended sentence order

  14      (1)      At any time during the supervision period, the appropriate court may, on

15

the application of the offender or the responsible officer, by order amend

any community requirement of a suspended sentence order—

              (a)             by cancelling the requirement, or

              (b)             by replacing it with a requirement of the same kind, which the court

could include if it were then making the order.

20

          (2)      For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), a requirement of a suspended

sentence order is of the same kind as another if they fall within the same

paragraph of section 171(1).

          (3)      The court may not under this paragraph amend a mental health treatment

requirement, a drug rehabilitation requirement or an alcohol treatment

25

requirement unless the offender expresses his willingness to comply with

the requirement as amended.

          (4)      If the offender fails to express his willingness to comply with a mental health

treatment requirement, drug rehabilitation requirement or alcohol

treatment requirement as proposed to be amended by the court under this

30

paragraph, the court may—

              (a)             revoke the suspended order and the suspended sentence to which it

relates, and

              (b)             deal with him, for the offence in respect of which the suspended

sentence was imposed, in any way in which it could deal with him if

35

he had just been convicted by or before the court of the offence.

          (5)      In dealing with the offender under sub-paragraph (4)(b), the court must take

into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the

requirements of the order.

          (6)      In this paragraph “the appropriate court” has the same meaning as in

40

paragraph 12.

Amendment of treatment requirements on report of practitioner

  15      (1)      Where the medical practitioner or other person by whom or under whose

direction an offender is, in pursuance of any requirement to which this sub-

paragraph applies, being treated for his mental condition or his dependency

45

on or propensity to misuse drugs or alcohol—

 

 

Criminal Justice Bill
Schedule 9 — Breach or amendment of suspended sentence order, and effect of further conviction
Part 3 — Amendment of suspended sentence order

    209

 

              (a)             is of the opinion mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), or

              (b)             is for any reason unwilling to continue to treat or direct the treatment

of the offender,

                            he must make a report in writing to that effect to the responsible officer and

that officer must apply under paragraph 14 to the appropriate court for the

5

variation or cancellation of the requirement.

          (2)      The requirements to which sub-paragraph (1) applies are—

              (a)             a mental health treatment requirement,

              (b)             a drug rehabilitation requirement, and

              (c)             an alcohol treatment requirement.

10

          (3)      The opinion referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is—

              (a)             that the treatment of the offender should be continued beyond the

period specified in that behalf in the order,

              (b)             that the offender needs different treatment,

              (c)             that the offender is not susceptible to treatment, or

15

              (d)             that the offender does not require further treatment.

          (4)      In this paragraph “the appropriate court” has the same meaning as in

paragraph 12.

Amendment in relation to review of drug rehabilitation requirement

  16       Where the responsible officer is of the opinion that a suspended sentence

20

order imposing a drug rehabilitation requirement which is subject to review

should be so amended as to provide for each periodic review (required by

section 191) to be made without a hearing instead of at a review hearing, or

vice versa, he must apply under paragraph 18 to the court responsible for the

order for the variation of the order.

25

Extension of unpaid work requirement

  17       Where—

              (a)             a suspended sentence order imposing an unpaid work requirement

is in force in respect of the offender, and

              (b)             on the application of the offender or the responsible officer, it

30

appears to the magistrates’ court acting for the petty sessions area

concerned that it would be in the interests of justice to do so having

regard to circumstances which have arisen since the order was made,

           the court may, in relation to the order, extend the period of twelve months

specified in section 180(2).

35

Supplementary

  18       No application may be made under paragraph 12, 14 or 17, and no order

may be made under paragraph 13, while an appeal against the suspended

sentence is pending

  19      (1)      Subject to sub-paragraph (2), where a court proposes to exercise its powers

40

under paragraph 14, otherwise than on the application of the offender, the

court—

              (a)             must summon him to appear before the court, and

 

 

Criminal Justice Bill
Schedule 10 — Persons to whom copies of requirements to be provided in particular cases

    210

 

              (b)             if he does not appear in answer to the summons, may issue a warrant

for his arrest.

          (2)      This paragraph does not apply to an order cancelling any community

requirement of a suspended sentence order.

  20       Paragraphs 7(2)(c) and 14(1)(b) have effect subject to the provisions

5

mentioned in subsection (2) of section 171, and to subsections (3) and (5) of

that section.

  21      (1)      On the making under this Schedule of an order amending a suspended

sentence order , the proper officer of the court must—

              (a)             provide copies of the amending order to the offender and the

10

responsible officer,

              (b)             in the case of an amending order which substitutes a new petty

sessions area, provide a copy of the amending order to—

                    (i)                   the local probation board acting for that area, and

                    (ii)                  the magistrates’ court acting for that area, and

15

              (c)             in the case of an amending order which imposes or amends a

requirement specified in the first column of Schedule 10, provide a

copy of so much of the amending order as relates to that requirement

to the person specified in relation to that requirement in the second

column of that Schedule.

20

          (2)      Where under sub-paragraph (1)(b) the proper officer of the court provides a

copy of an amending order to a magistrates’ court acting for a different area,

the officer must also provide to that court such documents and information

relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to a court acting

for that area in the exercise of its functions in relation to the order.

25

          (3)      In this paragraph “proper officer” means—

              (a)             in relation to a magistrates’ court, the justices’ chief executive for the

court; and

              (b)             in relation to the Crown Court, the appropriate officer.
