176  Stay of execution of punishment
  Where a service tribunal has imposed a punishment on a convicted person and the convicted person:
 (a) lodges a petition under section 153 with respect to the conviction or punishment; or
 (b) notifies a reviewing authority that he or she has appealed, or applied for leave to appeal, under the Defence Force Discipline Appeals Act 1955 against the conviction;
the reviewing authority may order that the execution of the punishment shall be stayed in whole or in part pending the determination of the appeal or petition.
Note: Certain punishments do not take effect unless approved by a reviewing authority (see subsections 171(1) and (2)). Such punishments must first be approved by a reviewing authority before the execution of the punishment can be stayed under this section.
