198L: Notice of breach of release or detention conditions

You could also call this:

"Getting told when someone breaks the rules after being released"

Illustration for Armed Forces Discipline Act 1971

You get a notice when someone breaks rules. The Director tells you about it. You find out when the accused or offender breaks release conditions, like those in section 198J(2)(b)(i) and (ii). You also get told if they are convicted of an offence against section 45 or 45A.
