Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage.

 

8:00 pm

Derek McDowell (Labour)

Senator Cummins is proposing to insert a new subsection (12). Is it necessary to do so? Subsection (11) states:

Before making a restriction on movement order, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—

(a) the effect of the order, including any requirement which is to be included in the order under section 102,

(b) the consequences which may follow any failure by the offender to comply with the requirements of the order, and

(c) that the court has power under section 103 to vary the order on the application of any person referred to in that section,

and the court shall not make the order unless the offender agrees to comply with its requirements.

It is rather clear.
