SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment amends the provisions of subsection 742.6(9) of the
Criminal Code , which deal with an offender who has breached a
condition of a conditional sentence order. The Act provides directions
to a court when an offender has, without reasonable excuse, which is to
be proved by the offender, breached a condition of the conditional
sentence order.
|
|
|
|
This enactment removes the court's options of taking no action;
changing the optional conditions; or suspending the order and requiring
a part of the sentence to be served in custody with the order resuming
for the balance of the sentence.
|
|
|
|
It therefore requires the court, in such circumstances, to terminate the
conditional sentence order and order that the sentence be served in
custody.
|
|
|
|
Subsection 742.7(2) of that Act is amended solely to make the
necessary consequential change to the reference to subsection 742.6(9).
