Section 213: Application of provisions relating to civilian detention and training orders

436.This section applies to orders made under section 211many of the provisions governing detention and training orders made by civilian courts under section 100 of the Sentencing Act, so that both kinds of order work in much the same way. In particular, the section enables a civilian court in the UK (but not a service court) to deal with an offender who, following his release from custody, fails to comply with the supervision requirements imposed by the order.
