Practice question
Several valid penalties require successive service. An administrator chooses the chronological order of the judgment dates although it reverses Article70’s severity scale; no penalty has been served or pardoned and no other rule applies. What is the statutory problem?
- The applicable service order is based on the stated severity scale, not judgment chronology alone
- Earlier judgment always overrides every severity ranking
- All later judgments are void
- The shortest judgment must always be first
- Chronology automatically makes penalties simultaneous
