breach of probation

[sadman76]

Does being charged with drink driving constitute being in breach of a probation service supervision order?

[sara3]

if you got a suspended sentence I believe you can be re-sentenced for committing another offence.

[New Judge]

If your supervision was part of a Community Order (i.e. not the requirement of a Suspended Sentence order) then commission of this latest offence is not a breach of that order. However, the fact that you are under supervision will aggravate the latest offence and possibly lead to a higher sentence.

If your supervision was imposed as part of a Suspended Sentence order, them the suspended sentence may be activated as a result of your latest offence.
