10.— Section 11 of the Principal Act is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (1):

“(1) Where a community service order is in force and, on application by the offender or a probation officer, it appears to the court that it would be in the interests of justice, having regard to circumstances which have arisen since the order was made, that the order should be revoked or that the offender should be dealt with in some other manner for the offence in respect of which the order was made, the court may—

(a) if the order was made by that court, either revoke the order or revoke it and deal with the offender in any manner in which he or she could have been dealt with for that offence if the order had not been made, or

(b) if the order was made by a court in a district court district or circuit, other than the district of residence or circuit of residence, as the case may be, or by another court, remand the offender to a sitting of the District Court in that other district court district or to a sitting of the Circuit Court in that other circuit, as the case may be, or to a sitting of that other court to be dealt with in accordance with subsection (2).”.
