Section 69 — Sentencing Act 2002: Extension of period within which community work must be done

69 Extension of period within which community work must be done (1) An offender who is subject to a sentence of community work, or a probation officer, may apply in accordance with section 72 for an extension of the period within which the work must be done on the grounds that— (a) because of incapacity or any humanitarian or other reasons, it will be impossible for the offender to do the work during a certain period; or (b) it would be unreasonable to require the offender to do the work during that period. (2) On an application under subsection (1) , the court may, if it is satisfied that the grounds in subsection (1) have been established, extend the period within which the work must be done by the amount that the court thinks fit.
