2

• (1) A court which under section 1 above has deferred passing sentence on an offender may deal with him before the end of the period of deferment if during that period he is convicted in Great Britain of any offence.

• (2) Subsection (3) below applies where a court has under section 1 above deferred passing sentence on an offender in respect of one or more offences and during the period of deferment the offender is convicted in England or Wales of any offence (“the later offence”).

• (3) Where this subsection applies, then (without prejudice to subsection (1) above and whether or not the offender is sentenced for the later offence during the period of deferment), the court which passes sentence on him for the later offence may also, if this has not already been done, deal with him for the offence or offences for which passing of sentence has been deferred, except that—

• (a) the power conferred by this subsection shall not be exercised by a magistrates’ court if the court which deferred passing sentence was the Crown Court; and

• (b) the Crown Court, in exercising that power in a case in which the court which deferred passing sentence was a magistrates’ court, shall not pass any sentence which could not have been passed by a magistrates’ court in exercising that power.

• (4) Where—

• (a) a court which under section 1 above has deferred passing sentence on an offender proposes to deal with him, whether on the date originally specified by the court or by virtue of subsection (1) above before that date, or

• (b) the offender does not appear on the date so specified,

the court may issue a summons requiring him to appear before the court, or may issue a warrant for his arrest.

• (5) In deferring the passing of sentence under section 1 above a magistrates’ court shall be regarded as exercising the power of adjourning the trial conferred by section 10(1) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, and accordingly sections 11(1) and 13(1) to (3A) and (5) of that Act (non-appearance of the accused) apply (without prejudice to subsection (4) above) if the offender does not appear on the date specified under section 1(3) above.

• (6) Any power of a court under this section to deal with an offender in a case where the passing of sentence has been deferred under section 1 above—

• (a) is power to deal with him, in respect of the offence for which passing of sentence has been deferred, in any way in which the court which deferred passing sentence could have dealt with him; and

• (b) without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a) above, in the case of a magistrates’ court includes the power conferred by section 3 below to commit him to the Crown Court for sentence.

• (7) Where—

• (a) the passing of sentence on an offender in respect of one or more offences has been deferred under section 1 above, and

• (b) a magistrates’ court deals with him in respect of the offence or any of the offences by committing him to the Crown Court under section 3 below,

the power of the Crown Court to deal with him includes the same power to defer passing sentence on him as if he had just been convicted of the offence or offences on indictment before the court.

• (b) the court is of the opinion that 12 hours would be excessive, having regard to his age or any other circumstances.

• (4) The aggregate number of hours shall not exceed 12 except where the court is of the opinion, having regard to all the circumstances, that 12 hours would be inadequate, and in that case—

• (a) shall not exceed 24 where the person is aged under 16; and

• (b) shall not exceed 36 where the person is aged 16 or 17.

• (a) to the number specified in the previous order; or

• (b) to the fact that that order is still in effect.

• (6) An attendance centre order shall not be made unless the court is satisfied that the attendance centre to be specified in it is reasonably accessible to the person concerned, having regard to his age, the means of access available to him and any other circumstances.

• (7) The times at which a person is required to attend at an attendance centre shall, as far as practicable, be such as to avoid—

SCHEDULE 5

Breach of order or attendance centre rules

1

• (1) Where an attendance centre order is in force and it appears on information to a justice ... that the offender—

• (a) has failed to attend in accordance with the order, or

• (b) while attending has committed a breach of rules made under section 394(1)(d) or (e) of the Sentencing Code which cannot be adequately dealt with under those rules,

the justice may issue a summons requiring the offender to appear at the place and time specified in the summons ... or, if the information is in writing and on oath, may issue a warrant for the offender’s arrest ....

• (2) Any summons or warrant issued under this paragraph shall direct the offender to appear or be brought—

• (a) before a magistrates' court acting for the local justice area in which the offender resides; or

• (b) if it is not known where the offender resides, before a magistrates' court acting for the local justice area in which is situated the attendance centre which the offender is required to attend by the order or by virtue of an order under paragraph 5(1)(b) below.

2

• (1) If it is proved to the satisfaction of the magistrates’ court before which an offender appears or is brought under paragraph 1 above that he has failed without reasonable excuse to attend as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) of that paragraph or has committed such a breach of rules as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) of that paragraph, that court may deal with him in any one of the following ways—

• (a) it may impose on him a fine not exceeding £1,000;

• (b) where the attendance centre order was made by a magistrates’ court, it may 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; or

• (c) where the order was made by the Crown Court, it may commit him to custody or release him on bail until he can be brought or appear before the Crown Court.

• (2) Any exercise by the court of its power under sub-paragraph (1)(a) above shall be without prejudice to the continuation of the order.

• (3) A fine imposed under sub-paragraph (1)(a) above shall be deemed, for the purposes of any enactment, to be a sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction.

• (3A) Where—

• (a) the offender is aged under 18, and

• (b) but for this sub-paragraph, the court would impose a fine on the offender under sub-paragraph (1)(a) above,

section 380 of the Sentencing Code (order for payment by parent or guardian) applies to the fine.

• (4) Where a magistrates’ court deals with an offender under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, it shall revoke the attendance centre order if it is still in force.

• (5) In dealing with an offender under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, a magistrates’ court—

• (a) shall take into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the requirements of the attendance centre order; and

• (b) in the case of an offender who has wilfully and persistently failed to comply with those requirements, may impose a custodial sentence notwithstanding anything in section 230(2) of the Sentencing Code.

• (5A) Where a magistrates' court dealing with an offender under sub-paragraph (1)(a) above would not otherwise have the power to amend the order under paragraph 5(1)(b) below (substitution of different attendance centre), that paragraph has effect as if references to an appropriate magistrates' court were references to the court dealing with the offender.

• (6) A person sentenced under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above for an offence may appeal to the Crown Court against the sentence.

• (7) A magistrates’ court which deals with an offender’s case under sub-paragraph (1)(c) above shall send to the Crown Court—

• (b) such other particulars of the case as may be desirable;

and a certificate purporting to be so signed shall be admissible as evidence of the failure or the breach before the Crown Court.

3

• (1) Where by virtue of paragraph 2(1)(c) above the offender is brought or appears before the Crown Court and it is proved to the satisfaction of the court—

• (a) that he has failed without reasonable excuse to attend as mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(a) above, or

• (b) that he has committed such a breach of rules as is mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(b) above,
