Clause 60

If a court-martial after the commencement of the trial is, by death or otherwise, reduced below the legal minimum, it shall be dissolved.

If after the commencement of the trial the president dies or is otherwise unable to attend, and the court is not reduced below the legal minimum, the convening authority may appoint the senior member of the court, if of sufficient rank, to be president, and the trial shall proceed accordingly; but if he is not of sufficient rank the court shall be dissolved.

If, on account of the illness of the accused before the finding, it is impossible to continue the trial, a court-martial shall be dissolved.

Where a court-martial is dissolved under the foregoing provisions of this section the accused may be tried again.

The president of any court-martial may, on any deliberation amongst the members, cause the court to be cleared of all other persons.

The court may adjourn from time to time.

The court may also, where necessary, view any place.

In the case of an equality of votes on the finding the accused shall be deemed to be acquitted. In the case of an equality of votes on the sentence, or any question arising after the commencement of the trial except the finding, the president shall have a second or casting vote.

When a court-martial recommend a person under sentence to mercy, such recommendation shall be attached to and form part of the proceedings of the court, and shall be promulgated and communicated to the person under sentence, together with the finding and sentence.
