Penalties and Sentences Act 1992

If a court orders an offender serve all or part of a term of imprisonment, the proper officer of the court must make a record of the order committing the offender into custody and give a copy of the record to the chief executive (corrective services).

The record must be in the approved form and may deal with each offence for which the offender is convicted.

Despite subsection (2), the proper officer of the court complies with subsection (1) if the proper officer gives the chief executive (corrective services) a verdict and judgment record under the Criminal Practice Rules 1999.
