Paragraph 95 Powers of pardon, etc
The Governor may, in Her Majesty’s name and on Her behalf—
grant to any person convicted of any offence against any law in force in the Islands, a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions;
grant to any person a respite, either indefinite or for a specified period, from the execution of any punishment imposed on him or her for such an offence;
substitute a less severe form of punishment for that imposed by any sentence for such an offence; or
remit the whole or any part of any sentence passed for such an offence or of any penalty or forfeiture otherwise due to Her Majesty on account of such an offence.
In the exercise of his or her powers under this section the Governor shall act in his or her discretion but shall first consult the Cabinet unless in any particular case the matter is in his or her judgement too urgent to permit such consultation.
