Where an offender fails to comply with a requirement of a community order, the offender can be summoned back to court and the court then has wide powers: it can amend the order to make the requirements more onerous, impose a fine, or revoke the order and resentence the offender.

The requested data requires manual checking of individual records and cross-referencing with records held on other systems and would therefore be of disproportionate cost.
