Post-Expiration Extension of Expired Probationary Period Legality

The court addressed whether the probationary period following a conditional release from a secure measure, which had already expired, could be extended after the fact. The authority granted the prosecutor's request to extend the original one-year probationary period by two years, ruling that an extension under the relevant statute is permissible even after the initial period has ended because assessing conduct often occurs only post-expiration. Critically, the court determined that the new probationary period commences upon the official notification of the extension decision, emphasizing that it cannot operate retroactively to the end of the first probationary term, as the individual must have knowledge of the extension for it to take effect.
