reg 81 Victim personal statement and the Service courts and Summary Hearings
The Service court (or Commanding Officer in a Summary Hearing) will pass what it judges to be the appropriate sentence, having regard to all the circumstances of the offence and of the offender. This will include taking into account, so far as the court (or Commanding Officer) considers it appropriate, the impact of the offence on you as set out in your VPS. Your VPS will be considered in exactly the same way whether or not it is read or played in court.
