Section 15i 
1.  If Our Minister of Justice is of the opinion that the convicted offender has failed to comply with a 
condition and full or partial revocation of the conditional release is necessary, he shall request the 
Public Prosecution Service to submit an application for such revocation. 
2.  If the Public Prosecution Service is of the opinion that the convicted offender has failed to comply 
with a condition, it shall promptly submit a written application for revocation of the conditional 
release to the District Court. The application shall state the grounds on which it is based. The 
Public Prosecution Service may refrain from submitting the application only if, in the opinion of the 
Public Prosecution Service, an amendment of the conditions or a warning is sufficient. 
3.  The District Court, being the court of first instance that tried the criminal offence for which the 
sentence, which is being enforced, was imposed, shall be competent to hear the application. If the 
convicted offender is prosecuted for a criminal offence committed before the expiration of the 
probation period and the application requests revocation of the conditional release in connection 
with that criminal offence, the District Court, which is competent to try the criminal offence, shall be 
competent. The application shall be submitted by the Public Prosecution Service which is charged 
with prosecution of the criminal offence and may be granted if the offender is convicted of the 
criminal offence. 
4.  In the cases referred to in section 15(5), the District Court, being the court of first instance that tried 
the offence for which the longest unconditional custodial sentence has been imposed, shall be 
competent to hear the application. In the case of sentences of equal length, the District Courts 
shall have equal competence. In the case of enforcement of a foreign judicial decision, the District 
Court which granted leave for enforcement, as referred to in section 31(1) of the Transfer of 
Enforcement of Criminal Judgments Act, or the District Court in the district where the enforcement 
was ordered under section 43(5) of this act, shall be competent to hear the application. 
5.  The Public Prosecution Service shall enclose the relevant accompanying documents with the 
application and send them to the District Court. The presiding judge of the District Court shall then 
promptly set a date for the hearing of the case, unless he determines that the application of the 
Public Prosecution Service is inadmissible. In the case referred to in subsection (3, second 
sentence), the court which is trying the criminal offence, for which the convicted offender is being 
prosecuted, shall hear the application at the same time.

6.  The Public Prosecution Service shall have notice of the hearing sent to the convicted offender and, 
if section 15b(2) applies, the person charged with probation supervision. The application shall be 
served on the convicted offender. 
7.  In cases where the court which is trying the criminal offence, for which the convicted offender is 
being prosecuted, does not hear the application at the same time, section 15e(3) to (7) inclusive 
shall apply mutatis mutandis.
