Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999

This clause applies to a good behaviour bond entered into under section 10 (1) (b) (the section 10 bond) before its substitution by the amending Act and in force immediately before the commencement day.

The section 10 bond is taken to be a conditional release order (the conditional release order) made under section 9 as substituted by the amending Act, without proceeding to conviction, pursuant to section 10 (1) (b) as in force on and after the commencement day.

The conditional release order is on the commencement day subject only to—

the standard conditions of a conditional release order, and

any conditions referred to in section 95 (c) that were imposed on the section 10 bond before the commencement day and in force immediately before that day, and

any other conditions prescribed by or determined under the regulations.

The conditional release order expires on the date set by the sentencing court before the commencement day in relation to the section 10 bond.

If a supervision condition was imposed on the section 10 bond by a court before the commencement day and was in force immediately before that day, the offender is subject to such obligations in respect of the condition as may be prescribed by regulations made under the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999.

Any warrant issued under section 98 in respect of a section 10 bond before the commencement day continues to have effect. The warrant authorises a police officer to arrest and bring the offender before a court to be dealt with for an alleged breach of the section 10 bond.

An offender who is brought before a court on a warrant referred to in subclause (6) is to be dealt with under sections 108C and 108D of the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 (variations, breach and revocations).

Section 99 (2A) as inserted by the amending Act applies to a good behaviour bond to which this clause applies.
