(b)if it does not make a compliance order then, at any later time (while the confiscation order is still in effect) on the application of the prosecutor.

(5)The court may discharge or vary a compliance order on an application made by—
(a)the prosecutor;

(2)The court may—
(a)issue a warrant for the accused's arrest, or

(7)The court may vary the compliance order if the court is satisfied—

(b)that the accused had a reasonable excuse for the failure, and
(c)that, having regard to the circumstances which have arisen since the order was imposed, it is in the interests of justice to vary the order.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
