Armed Forces Disciplinary Punishment Act Article 36

Whereas the period limit for the jurisdiction of disciplinary punishment cannot begin to run or the punishment cannot be enforced due to a force majeure, casus fortuitus, or provisions of laws, the period shall cease.Whereas the identical disciplinary offense is under criminal investigation or pending on trial, the jurisdiction of disciplinary punishment will not cease. Nonetheless, if the punishment is premised on the existence of other legal relationship, and such relationship is pending in litigations or administrative relief procedures, before the legal relationship is affirmed the competent authority may cease the jurisdiction of disciplinary punishment and notify the disciplinary offender.Whereas the jurisdiction of disciplinary punishment ceases due to the provisions stipulated in the two preceding Paragraphs, the period that has run before its cessation shall be, from the next day of the date on which the causes of cessation extinguished or the relationship stipulated in the preceding Paragraph is affirmed, taken into calculation thereby.
