If the disciplinary penalty is canceled by a court decision, the remaining disciplinary penalty may be reinstated from the day on which the decision is received by the administration within the statute of limitations period or at the latest within 6 months if the statute of limitations expires or less than 6 months remain, taking into account the reason for the decision.
