Section 135: Place for sitting of courts-martial and adjournment to other places

(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, a court-martial shall sit at such place as may be specified in the order convening the court-martial, and the convening officer may convene it to sit at a place outside the limits of his command.
(2) A court-martial sitting at a place shall, if the convening officer directs it to sit at some other place, and may, without any such direction if it appears to the court-martial requisite in the interest of justice to sit at some other place, adjourn for the purpose of sitting at that other place.
(3) Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section, a court-martial may if it appears to the court-martial that an adjournment is desirable for any reason, be adjourned for such period as the court-martial thinks fit, provided that, except with the consent of the accused and prosecution, the period for which the court-martial may be adjourned under this subsection shall not on any occasion exceed six days.
(4) Subject to the provisions of this section, a court-martial shall, unless prevented by weather or other unavoidable cause, sit from day to day until the court-martial has arrived at a finding and, in the case of a conviction, until sentence is pronounced but the court shall not sit on a Sunday, or any day that is a public holiday unless, in the opinion of the court-martial or of the convening officer, exigencies of service make it necessary to do so.
