(1) A court-martial sentence which has been suspended may be reconsidered at intervals of not more than three months, unless it has been put into execution in the meantime, and on these occasions the individual shall be brought before the Commanding Officer, who should take the opportunity of reviewing the circumstances and warning him that he is still under probation.
(2) The Commanding officer shall make a report on the sailor’s conduct, recommending whether the sentence should remain suspended or be remitted, to the Chief of the Naval Staff who shall, if he considers that the offender’ conduct justifies remission, remit the sentence accordingly.
(3) If at any time during the probationary period the continuity of a sailor’s “V.G.” conduct is broken or behaviour is in any way unsatisfactory, the sentence may be enforced and the Commanding Officer shall forward a report as in subregulation (2) and a committal order shall be issued by the Chief of the Naval Staff or by the officer ordering the court-martial by which the sailor was sentenced.
(4) Administrative Authorities shall ensure that the reconsideration of suspended sentence is duly carried out at intervals of not more than three months.
