(i)is convicted before the Crown Court of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, or

(ii)is brought or appears before the Crown Court having been committed by a magistrates' court for sentence in respect of any such offence, or

(b)the order for conditional discharge was made by the Crown Court and it is proved to the satisfaction of the Crown Court that the offender has been convicted by a court in Great Britain of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge.

(2)The Crown Court may re-sentence the offender for the original offence.

(3)Any question under this paragraph whether the offender has been convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge is to be determined by the court and not by the verdict of a jury.
