9FC  Commencement of punishments
 (1) A decision by a discipline officer or senior discipline officer to impose a punishment takes effect:
 (a) if the punishment is imposed for a period—from the start of the period specified in the decision, which must be a period starting on a day not later than 14 days after the decision is made; or
 (b) in any other case—at the time the decision is made.
 (2) However, if a decision by a senior discipline officer to impose a punishment is substituted by a decision of a commanding officer under subsection 9G(2), the punishment imposed by the senior discipline officer ceases to have effect at the time the substituted decision is made.
Note: The substituted decision takes effect at the time specified in the substituted decision: see subsection 9G(4).
 (3) This section has effect subject to subsection 9J(4).
