A sentence imposed by the Court of Appeal following a successful sentence appeal operates from, and is taken to have been imposed on, the date of the original sentence, and is therefore not a 'further term of imprisonment' for the purposes of s 14(1)(b) of the Sentencing Act 1991. Accordingly, s 14 does not require the Court of Appeal to fix a new single non-parole period encompassing a sentence imposed by another court between the original sentence and the appeal. The question of whether a s 6AAA statement can be used to support a ground of specific error (as opposed to manifest excess) was raised but left open.
