Breach of requirements of attendance order

(1) If, at any time while an attendance order is in force in respect of an offender, it appears on information to a Justice of the Peace that the offender has failed to comply with any of the requirements of the attendance order, the Justice may issue a summons requiring the offender to appear at the place and time specified therein, or may, if the information is in writing and on oath, issue a warrant for the offender’s arrest. (2) Any summons or warrant issued under this section shall direct the offender to appear or be brought before the magistrates court. (3) If it is proved to the satisfaction of the magistrates court before which an offender appears or is brought that that offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with any of the requirements of the attendance order, the court may, without prejudice to the continuance of the order, impose on that offender a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars or may revoke the order and impose in substitution therefor, in addition to any other sentence either by way of fine or imprisonment, or both, which may have already been imposed at the time of the original conviction a further fine or a further term of imprisonment, or both, but not so as to cause the further fine when added to the fine originally imposed, if any, to exceed the fine or term of imprisonment laid down in the section of the Law in respect of contravention of which the person convicted was originally sentenced, and, where no fine or imprisonment has been imposed at the time of the original conviction, then the court before which the offender is brought under this subsection may impose such fine or imprisonment, or both, as could have been imposed by the court by which the offender was originally convicted, and in all such cases imprisonment shall be imprisonment with hard labour. Amendment of attendance order

Where an attendance order is in force in respect of any offender and, on the application of the offender or the relevant officer, it appears to the court that it would be in the interests of justice to do so having regard to the circumstances which have arisen since the order was made, the court may extend, in relation to the order, the period of twelve months specified in section 42(1).
