Illustration for Court Martial Act 2007

You are part of a court case in the Court Martial. If you are a military member, the court cannot use certain information about you. This information is about how you behaved or did your job in the court case. The court cannot use this information when making decisions about your job in the Armed Forces. This means they cannot use it to decide if you get a promotion, a new posting, or a better job.
