Corrective Services Act 2006

On and from 28 August 2006, a prisoner’s parole order is taken not to have been automatically cancelled under a previous automatic cancellation provision if—

the prisoner was sentenced to another term or period of imprisonment as mentioned in the provision; and

the term or period was limited to a term or period of imprisonment until the court rises.

Subsection (3) applies if, before the commencement, a prisoner subject to a parole order was sentenced to a term or period of imprisonment ordered by a court to be served until the court rises.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that anything done or purportedly done, or any omission made or purportedly made, under this Act or the repealed Corrective Services Act 2000 in reliance on the automatic cancellation of the parole order, before the commencement, under a previous automatic cancellation provision is and always was valid.

Subsection (3) does not affect a decision of a court made before the commencement in relation to, or based on, a previous automatic cancellation provision.

In this section—previous automatic cancellation provision means—

previous section 209; or

the repealed Corrective Services Act 2000, section 151.
