Commentary First Group of Parts – Discipline Part 2 – Jurisdiction and Time Limits Chapter 2 – Time Limits for Commencing Proceedings
142.This Chapter prescribes time limits for the bringing of charges under the Act. The time limits in sections 55 to 60 are cumulative—that is, a charge cannot be brought outside the period specified by any section that applies, even if another section also applies and the period specified by that other section has not expired. In the case of a charge under the Reserve Forces Act 1996, however, the time limit is determined by section 62 alone.
