Commentary

First Group of Parts – Discipline

Part 1 – Offences
Neglect of duty and misconduct
Section 19: Conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline

78.This section penalises conduct which is prejudicial to good order and service discipline. The offence is the same as that under section 69 of the Army Act 1955 (and similar provisions in other SDAs). Under that section it has been decided judicially that there will be circumstances in which conduct is prejudicial only if it is accompanied by a particular state of mind (such as dishonesty or an intention to prejudice service discipline).
