Jurisdiction for the purposes of subsection (1) may be exercised —
if the suspended sentence was passed by the Grand Court, by that court; or
if it was passed by a court of summary jurisdiction, by a justice of the peace.
A justice of the peace shall not issue a summons under this section except on information, and shall not issue a warrant under this section except on information, and shall not issue a warrant under this section except on information in writing and on oath.
Any such summons or warrant shall direct the offender to appear or to be brought before the court by which the suspended sentence was passed.
