When a court orders a fixed term to be served partly cumulatively under s 88(3)(d) of the Sentencing Act 1995 (WA), s 88(4) requires the court to specify the period of the earlier sentence to be served before the partly cumulative term begins, and that period cannot extend beyond the earliest parole eligibility date.
