Sentencing

Restricted movement requirement

Restricted movement requirements: further provision
227ZG
1
A court may not impose a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be, or not to be, in a specified place unless it is satisfied that the offender's compliance with the requirement can be monitored by the method specified in the requirement.
2
Before imposing a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be in a specified place, the appropriate court must obtain and consider a
written
report by an officer of the local authority in whose area the place is situated on—
a
the place, and
aa
the suitability of the place (particularly with a view to maximising the prospect of the offender's compliance with the requirement and minimising the risk of reoffending by the offender),
b
the attitude of any person (other than the offender) likely to be affected by the enforced presence of the offender at the place.
3
The court may, before imposing the requirement, hear the officer who prepared the report.
