110 Cancellation of good behaviour order with suspended
sentence order
(a) an offender’s good behaviour order was made under the Crimes
(Sentencing) Act 2005, section 12 (3) (Suspended sentences) on
the offender’s conviction for an offence; and
(b) a court is satisfied the offender has breached any of the
offender’s good behaviour obligations.
(2) The court must cancel the good behaviour order and either—
(a) impose the suspended sentence imposed for the offence; or
(b) re-sentence the offender for the offence.
(3) If the offender has given security under the good behaviour order, the
court may also—
(a) order payment of the security to be enforced; and
(b) order the good behaviour order to be cancelled on payment of
the security (if the term of the order has not already ended).
(4) The Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 applies to the re-sentencing in the
same way that it applies to the sentencing of an offender on conviction
for the offence.
The Magistrates Court convicted Desmond of an offence. The court sentenced
Desmond to imprisonment for 6 months for the offence and made a suspended
sentence order for the entire sentence of imprisonment. The court also made a good
behaviour order for the 6-month period. Desmond breaches the order. In
re-sentencing Desmond, the court may impose a sentence of imprisonment to be
served by intensive correction.
(5) To remove any doubt, an offender re-sentenced by a court under this
section has the same right of appeal as the offender would have had
if sentenced by the court on being convicted of the offence.
