Well, it's not really a process issue, it's a circumstance issue that drives the maximum punishment provision. In the military justice scheme, it's not....
The military justice system is not like the civilian justice system, where there is a summary conviction and an indictable-type proceeding. There's only one type of proceeding in the military justice system.
Perhaps it's best if l just read the offence provision to you so that you can understand how it's been framed:
113. Every person who wilfully or negligently or by neglect of or contrary to regulations, orders or instructions, does any act or omits to do anything, which act or omission causes or is likely to cause fire to occur in any materiel, defence establishment or work for defence is guilty of an offence and on conviction, if the person acted wilfully, is liable to imprisonment for life or to less punishment and, in any other case, is liable to imprisonment for less than two years or to less punishment.
That's the way that offence is framed.
