Illustration for Court Martial Act 2007

You need to know what happens when there are command issues during Court Martial proceedings. The senior military member has to write a report about these issues and give it to their superior commander. This report is about the command issues that come up during the proceedings. You should know who gets a copy of this report. The superior commander must send a copy to the Chief of the relevant service, and also to the commander of any joint force if the unit is under joint command. They also send a copy to the Discipline Committee. This rule is connected to another rule, which is section 35.
