Conclusion of proceedings
6 Conclusion of proceedings
Proceedings for an offence conclude when a court finally disposes of the proceedings concerned.
If a court convicts an accused person of an offence, and a sentence is to be imposed, proceedings for the offence do not conclude until the sentence has been imposed.
The committal of a person for trial or sentence is not a conclusion of proceedings for an offence.
If a person’s conviction or sentence for an offence is stayed on or before the conclusion of proceedings for an offence, the proceedings do not conclude while the stay is in force.
The regulations may make further provision for the time at which proceedings for an offence are to be regarded as concluded and this section has effect subject to the regulations.
