Restriction on number of further applications by offender for determination of non-parole periods
2A Restriction on number of further applications by offender for determination of non-parole periods
This clause applies only in relation to an application referred to in clause 2 (1) made by an offender on or after 17 June 2008. It does not apply in relation to any such application made by an offender before that date (including an application that was made but not finally disposed of before that date).
An offender may not make more than one application referred to in clause 2 (1).
If, in disposing under clause 4 of an application referred to in clause 2 (1), the Supreme Court declines to set a specified term for an existing life sentence or to set a non-parole period for the sentence, the offender who made the application is to serve the existing life sentence for the term of his or her natural life.
An application referred to in clause 2 (1) that is made by an offender and duly withdrawn is not to be counted as an application made by the offender for the purposes of subclause (2).
This clause has effect despite any other provision of this Schedule.
