(1)At a review hearing (within the meaning given by subsection (1) of section 210) the court may, after considering the responsible officer’s report referred to in that subsection, amend the community order or suspended sentence order, so far as it relates to the drug rehabilitation requirement.
(2)The court—
(a)may not amend the drug rehabilitation requirement unless the offender expresses his willingness to comply with the requirement as amended,
(b)may not amend any provision of the order so as to reduce the period for which the drug rehabilitation requirement has effect below the minimum specified in section 209(3), and
(c)except with the consent of the offender, may not amend any requirement or provision of the order while an appeal against the order is pending.
(3)If the offender fails to express his willingness to comply with the drug rehabilitation requirement as proposed to be amended by the court, the court may—
(a)revoke the community order, or the suspended sentence order and the suspended sentence to which it relates, and
(b)deal with him, for the offence in respect of which the order was made, in any way in which he could have been dealt with for that offence by the court which made the order if the order had not been made.
(4)In dealing with the offender under subsection (3)(b), the court—
(a)shall take into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the requirements of the order, and
(b)may impose a custodial sentence (where the order was made in respect of an offence punishable with such a sentence) notwithstanding anything in section 152(2).
(5)Where the order is a community order made by a magistrates' court in the case of an offender under 18 years of age in respect of an offence triable only on indictment in the case of an adult, any powers exercisable under subsection (3)(b) in respect of the offender after he attains the age of 18 are powers to do either or both of the following—
(a)to impose a fine not exceeding £5,000 for the offence in respect of which the order was made;
(b)to deal with the offender for that offence in any way in which the court could deal with him if it had just convicted him of an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding twelve months.
(6)If at a review hearing (as defined by section 210(1)(b)) the court, after considering the responsible officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the requirement is satisfactory, the court may so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made by the court without a hearing.
(7)If at a review without a hearing the court, after considering the responsible officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the requirement is no longer satisfactory, the court may require the offender to attend a hearing of the court at a specified time and place.
(8)At that hearing the court, after considering that report, may—
(a)exercise the powers conferred by this section as if the hearing were a review hearing, and
(b)so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made at a review hearing.
