Fixing new non-parole period in respect of multiple sentences
87 Fixing new non-parole period in respect of multiple sentences
This section applies if:
a youth has been sentenced to be detained or imprisoned for an offence and a non‑parole period has been fixed in respect of the sentence; and
before the end of the non‑parole period the youth is sentenced by the Court to a further term of detention or imprisonment.
The Court must fix a new single non‑parole period in respect of all the sentences the youth is to serve or complete.
The new single non-parole period fixed at the time of the imposition of the further sentence:
supersedes any previous non-parole period that the youth is to serve or complete; and
must not be such as to render the youth eligible to be released on parole earlier than would have been the case if the further sentence had not been imposed.
