18ZB. Effect of Drug Court declining to make an order

If an offender has pleaded guilty to an offence or offences in respect of
which the Drug Court could make a drug treatment order but it does not
consider it appropriate to do so, the Drug Court must-

   (a)  sentence the offender in relation to the offence or offences if the
        offender consents to the Drug Court doing so; or

   (b)  adjourn the matter for sentencing to the Magistrates' Court (other
        than the Drug Court) at that venue.
