Section 297 Power to direct magistrates' court supervision of orderI1

Where the Crown Court makes a suspended sentence order which imposes any community requirement, it may make a direction that the order is to be subject to magistrates' court supervision.

For the effect of such a direction, see Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 16 (breach or amendment of a community requirement of a suspended sentence order).

Subsection (1) does not apply to a suspended sentence order that qualifies for special procedures for the purposes of section 293A.
