Marginal note:Review and remission
217 (1) Where a punishment has been suspended, it may at any time, and shall at intervals of not more than three months, be reviewed by a suspending authority and if on the review it appears to the suspending authority that the conduct of the offender, since the punishment was suspended, has been such as to justify a remission of the punishment, the suspending authority shall remit it.

Marginal note:Automatic remission of detention
