A Griffiths remand under s 11 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act is not limited to cases where a non-custodial sentence is possible; it may be granted where it will assist in fixing the length of sentence or non-parole period, provided the judge makes clear to the offender that full-time custody may still result. A Crown appeal against a s 11 order may be dismissed for lack of utility where the adjourned hearing date is imminent.
