Prisoners (Interstate Transfer) Act 1983

Where pursuant to an order of transfer a prisoner is conveyed to a participating State or another Territory specified in the order, then from the time the prisoner arrives in the participating State or that other Territory every Territory sentence of imprisonment imposed upon the prisoner, including a translated sentence, ceases to have effect in the Territory except:

for the purpose of an appeal against or review of a conviction, finding of guilt, judgment or sentence made, imposed or fixed by a court of the Territory;

in relation to a period of imprisonment served by the prisoner in the Territory; or

in relation to the remittance of money to the Minister which is paid in discharge or partial discharge of a sentence of default imprisonment originally imposed upon the prisoner by a court of the

Territory.

Subsection (1) does not apply to a sentence of imprisonment imposed upon a person where the person has completed serving that sentence.
