(d) the Court Martial convicts the accused of an offence alleged in the relevant charge,

the aggregate of the terms of the two sentences must not exceed 28 days or, where the extended powers condition is met, 90 days.

(b) where the relevant person is subject to service law, that the relevant person's commanding officer also considers that that accommodation is appropriate.

(6) If, while a protection order containing an exclusion requirement is in force, the child has in pursuance of the order been removed from the relevant premises to which the requirement relates to other accommodation for a continuous period of more than 24 hours, the order shall cease to have effect so far as it imposes the exclusion requirement.
