Proposed text

—(1) An offender contravenes the community service order in force against him if he —(a)fails, without reasonable excuse to report for community service as required by the community service order or by the Community Service Officer; or(b)fails to comply with any of his obligations as specified in regulation 6(1).(2) Where an offender contravenes the community service order in force against him, the Community Service Officer of the offender shall —(a)call upon the offender to give an explanation (whether verbally or in writing, as the Community Service Officer thinks fit) for the contravention within such time as the Community Service Officer may specify (which, in any case, shall not be more than 48 hours after the contravention was committed or detected); and(b)make a record of the date and time and nature of the contravention and any explanation given by the offender for the contravention.(3) If the contravention of the community service order does not consist of the commission of an offence and is not, in the opinion of the Community Service Officer, of so serious a nature as to warrant a variation or revocation of the order or to render the community service order ineffectual in the rehabilitation of the offender, the Community Service Officer may, if the offender’s explanation for the contravention is acceptable to him —(a)issue a written warning to the offender against any further contravention of the order; and(b)take such measures and give such directions to the offender as may be necessary or expedient to secure the proper compliance with the order by the offender.(4) An offender who has been issued with a written warning under paragraph (3)(a) shall sign an acknowledgment thereof.(5) If —(a)the contravention of the community service order consists of the commission of an offence or is, in the opinion of the Community Service Officer, of so serious a nature as to warrant a variation or revocation of the order or to render the community service order ineffectual in the rehabilitation of the offender; or(b)the offender is unable to give a reasonable explanation for his contravention of the order, the Community Service Officer shall lay the necessary information of the contravention before a judge of the Youth Court in order that the offender may be dealt with by the Court under section 44(5) of the Act.
