136C Court may direct offender on community order to appear
The court may order that the offender appear or reappear before the court after the imposition of the community order —
at a time and place fixed by the court; or
if and when summonsed by the court,
so that the court can ascertain whether the offender is complying with the sentence.
An order may be made under subsection (1) on any reappearance of the offender pursuant to a previous order made under subsection (1).
If an offender does not reappear before the court at the time and place fixed or in response to a summons issued by the court, the court may issue a warrant to have the offender arrested and brought before the court.
On a reappearance ordered under subsection (1), or compelled under subsection (1) or (3), the court may amend a community order.
