(a)the sentence was less severe because of an undertaking given by the person to assist, after sentencing, law enforcement authorities in the investigation or prosecution of an offence, whether or not proceedings for that offence had commenced at the time of sentencing; and
(b)the DPP considers that the person has failed, wholly or partly, to fulfil the undertaking.
