Approval of schools.

136.(1) A court of summary jurisdiction by which an order has been made under
section 135(1), or any other court of summary jurisdiction acting for, or any
resident magistrate assigned to or acting for, the petty sessions district for
which that court acted or in which any other court by which such an order has
been made was held, may, on an application made by complaint by the offender
or by the officer in charge of the attendance centre specified in the order

(a)by order discharge the order; or

(b)by order vary the day or hour specified therein for the offender's first
attendance at the centre;

(2) Where an order is made under section 135(1) or subsection (1) of this
section, the clerk of the court shall serve a copy of the order on the officer
in charge of the attendance centre specified therein, and also on the
offender, and, notwithstanding the provisions of any statutory instrument,
such a copy shall not be subject to any stamp.

(3) Where a person has been ordered to attend at an attendance centre in
default of the payment of any sum of money then

(a)on payment of the whole sum to any person authorised to receive it, the
order shall cease to have effect;

(b)on the payment of a part of the said sum as aforesaid, the total number of
hours for which the offender is required to attend at the centre shall be
reduced proportionally, that is to say by such number of complete hours as
bears to the said total number the proportion most nearly approximating to,
without exceeding, the proportion which the part paid bears to the said sum.

(4) Where an order under section 135(1) has been made and it appears upon a
complaint made to a justice of the peace for the county [court division] in
which the court which made the order was held that the person in whose case
the order was made

(a)has failed without reasonable excuse to attend at the centre in accordance
with the order; or

(b)while attending at the centre has committed a breach of the rules made
under section 134(2) which cannot be adequately dealt with under those rules;

(5) If it appears to the satisfaction of the court before which an offender
appears or is brought under subsection (4) that he had failed to attend as
aforesaid, or has committed such a breach of rules as aforesaid, that court
may revoke the order requiring his attendance at an attendance centre and deal
with him in any manner in which he could have been dealt with by the court
which made the order, if the order had not been made.
