(a) suspending execution of a sentence of imprisonment, and

(b) directing that the offender enter into a good behaviour bond,

(4) If a court (under section 98 as previously in force but continuing to apply under subclause (3)) revokes the good behaviour bond—

(b) the court must either—

(i) order that the offender be sentenced or re-sentenced to imprisonment to be served in full-time detention, or

(d) section 24 applies to the sentencing or re-sentencing of the offender under this clause in the same way as it applies to the sentencing of an offender on a conviction, but taking into account—
