This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)The appropriate court may, on the application of the person against whom a service compensation order was made, discharge the order or reduce the amount which remains to be paid; but this is subject to subsections (2) and (3).
(2)The appropriate court may exercise a power conferred by subsection (1) only at a time when (disregarding any power of a court to grant leave to appeal out of time) there is no further possibility of an appeal which could result in the order being varied or ceasing to have effect.
(3)The appropriate court may exercise a power conferred by subsection (1) only if it appears to the court—
(a)that the injury, loss or damage in respect of which the service compensation order was made has been held in civil proceedings to be less than it was taken to be for the purposes of the order;
(b)in the case of a service compensation order in respect of the loss of any property, that the property has been recovered by the person in whose favour the order was made; or
(c)that the person against whom the service compensation order was made has suffered a substantial reduction in his means which was unexpected at the time when the order was made, and that his means seem unlikely to increase for a considerable period.
(4)In this section “the appropriate court” means—
(a)if the service compensation order was awarded by an officer and subsection (5) applies, the commanding officer of the person against whom the service compensation order was made;
(b)in any other case, the Court Martial.
(5)This subsection applies if the person against whom the service compensation order was made is for the time being—
(a)subject to service law;
(b)a member of a volunteer reserve force; or
(c)a member of an ex-regular reserve force who is subject to an additional duties commitment.
