For the purpose of calculating how much time an offender has served on a sentence of community detention,—

a) time ceases to run on the sentence during any period between the date on which an application under section 69I(1)(a) is lodged and the date on which the application is determined by the court; but

b) some or all of the period between those dates may be regarded by the court as time served, as the court thinks appropriate in the circumstances, after taking into account—

i) the extent (if any) to which the offender has complied with any conditions of the sentence; and

ii) the amount of time (if any) that the offender has spent in custody.
