Section 33(2) of the Public Order Ordinance provides exhaustive sentencing powers for the offence; a detention centre order was not an authorized sentence and therefore unlawful. The lawful substitute sentence is the statutory mandatory minimum of six months' imprisonment (running from the date of the original order), with a one month sentence for the other offence to run concurrently, producing an effective total of six months' imprisonment.
