Article 119 Direction that variation proceedings be held
Variation proceedings may be held only in accordance with a direction given under this rule.
After the conclusion of any proceedings in which a sentence was imposed, the judge advocate for those proceedings may direct the court administration officer to appoint a time and place for variation proceedings in respect of the sentence.
The judge advocate may give a direction under this rule—
on the application of the Director or the offender; or
of his own motion.
An application for a direction under this rule—
must be made in writing to the court administration officer, stating the grounds on which it is made;
if made by the Director, must be served on the offender; and
if made by the offender, must be served on the Director.
Where the judge advocate dismisses an application for a direction under this rule, the court administration officer shall notify the Director and the offender of that fact.
