Explanation of home detention orders to be given

    (1)     If a court makes a home detention order in relation to a person's sentence of imprisonment or remand, the court must ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to explain to the person (in language that the person can readily understand)—

        (a)     the person's obligations under the order; and

        (b)     the consequences that may follow if the person fails to comply with the obligations.

    (2)     A home detention order made by a court is not invalid only because the court does not comply with this section.
