The Drug Court shall terminate a prescribed treatment programme in relation to a drug offender if —
the offender successfully completes the programme;
the offender requests the Drug Court to terminate the programme; or
based on the report of the approved treatment provider, the Drug Court is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the drug offender has failed to comply with his prescribed treatment programme and that there is no useful purpose to be served by the drug offender's continued participation in the prescribed treatment programme.
Where a prescribed treatment programme is terminated, the records of any tests performed on the person concerned shall not be admissible in evidence in any proceedings against that person.
Without prejudice to the other circumstances in which a drug offender is taken to have failed to comply with his prescribed treatment programme, a drug offender is taken to have failed to comply with the prescribed treatment programme if he is charged and convicted before a court with any of the following offences —
any offence for which the punishment is prescribed in Part B of Schedule 2 to the Misuse of Drugs Law (2014 Revision), other than a relevant offence;
any offence involving violent conduct or sexual assault;
any offence against the Firearms Law (2008 Revision); or
any other offence prescribed by regulations made under this Law.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (2014 Revision), no appeal shall lie in relation to any action taken or decision made by the Drug Court under this section to terminate a prescribed treatment programme.
