About this service
Defence against revocation of a conditional sentence is a procedural dispute that unfolds within the framework of the law on the execution of non-custodial sentences and probation: this law regulates how a conditional sentence, early conditional release and the postponement of serving a sentence are executed, who and how raises the question of revocation before the court, and what guarantees the convicted person has along this path. One boundary must be stressed: this law determines the procedure — submissions from the probation bureau to the court and the right of appeal — while the substantive grounds of revocation are established by the Criminal Code. In practice the outcome depends on procedural details: the content of the report card, the substantiation of the facts in the submission and the formal completeness of the notifications.
