9F Explanation of nature and effect of order

(1) A court that makes a community clean up order in respect of an offender must explain, or cause to be explained, to the offender (in language likely to be readily understood by the offender)—

(a) the requirements to be complied with by the offender under the order, and

(b) the consequences that may follow if the offender fails to comply with those requirements, and

(c) the fact that the order may also be satisfied by payment of the fine.

(2) A community clean up order is not invalidated by a failure to comply with this section.
