Powers of court (9) Where the court is satisfied, on a balance of probabilities, that the offender has without reasonable excuse, the proof of which lies on the offender, breached a condition of the conditional sentence order, the court may (a) take no action; (b) change the optional conditions; (c) suspend the conditional sentence order and direct (i) that the offender serve in custody a portion of the unexpired sentence, and (ii) that the conditional sentence order resume on the offender’s release from custody, either with or without changes to the optional conditions; or (d) terminate the conditional sentence order and direct that the offender be committed to custody until the expiration of the sentence. Warrant or arrest — suspension of running of conditional sentence order (10) The running of a conditional sentence order imposed on an offender is suspended during the period that ends with the determination of whether a breach of condition had occurred and begins with the earliest of (a) the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of the offender for the alleged breach, (b) the arrest without warrant of the offender for the alleged breach, and (c) the compelling of the offender’s appearance in accordance with paragraph (1)(d). Conditions continue (11) If the offender is not detained in custody during any period referred to in subsection (10), the conditions of the order continue to apply, with any changes made to them under section 742.4, and any subsequent breach of those conditions may be dealt with in accordance with this section. Detention under s. 515(6) (12) A conditional sentence order referred to in subsection (10) starts running again on the making of an order to detain the offender in custody under subsection 515(6) and, unless section 742.7 applies, continues running while the offender is detained under the order. Earned remission does not apply (13) Section 6 of the Prisons and Reformatories Act does not apply to the period of detention in custody under subsection 515(6). Unreasonable delay in execution (14) Despite subsection (10), if there was unreasonable delay in the execution of a warrant, the court may, at any time, order that any period between the issuance and execution of the warrant that it considers appropriate in the interests of justice is deemed to be time served under the conditional sentence order unless the period has been so deemed under subsection (15). Allegation dismissed or reasonable excuse (15) If the allegation is withdrawn or dismissed or the offender is found to have had a reasonable excuse for the breach, the sum of the following periods is deemed to be time served under the conditional sentence order: (a) any period for which the running of the conditional sentence order was suspended; and (b) if subsection (12) applies, a period equal to one half of the period that the conditional sentence order runs while the offender is detained under an order referred to in that subsection. Powers of court (16) If a court is satisfied, on a balance of probabilities, that the offender has without reasonable excuse, the proof of which lies on the offender, breached a condition of the conditional sentence order, the court may, in exceptional cases and in the interests of justice, order that some or all of the period of suspension referred to in subsection (10) is deemed to be time served under the conditional sentence order. Considerations (17) In exercising its discretion under subsection (16), a court shall consider (a) the circumstances and seriousness of the breach; (b) whether not making the order would cause the offender undue hardship based on the offender’s individual circumstances; and (c) the period for which the offender was subject to conditions while the running of the conditional sentence order was suspended and whether the offender complied with those
