This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

12(1)If—

(a)paragraph 11(a) applies, but

(b)the offender committed the offence mentioned in paragraph 10, or any associated offence, after he was referred to the panel,

the relevant court may sentence the offender for the offence by making an order extending his compliance period, but only if the requirements of sub-paragraph (2) are complied with.

(2)Those requirements are that the court must—

(a)be satisfied, on the basis of a report made to it by the relevant body, that there are exceptional circumstances which indicate that, even though the offender has re-offended since being referred to the panel, extending his compliance period is likely to help prevent further re-offending by him; and

(b)state in open court that it is so satisfied and why it is.

(3)In sub-paragraph (2) “the relevant body” means the panel to which the offender has been referred or, if no contract has yet taken effect between the offender and the panel under section 8, the specified team.
