Cross-border Justice Regulations 2009

This section applies if an offender —

is convicted of one or more offences in a cross‑border proceeding of a prescribed court of the State; and

is sentenced to imprisonment for one or more of those offences.

If, at the time of conviction, the offender is serving or yet to serve one or more sentences of imprisonment under the law of another participating jurisdiction (the interstate sentences ^1M), each of the sentences referred to in subsection (1)(b) (the State sentences ^1M) is to be served concurrently with the interstate sentences unless the court specifies differently under subsection (3).

The court may specify when one or more of the State sentences commences.

For the purposes of subsection (3) —

none of the State sentences can commence later than the end of the last interstate sentence to end; and

if a non‑parole period applies in respect of any of the interstate sentences — the first State sentence to commence after the end of the non‑parole period must commence immediately after the end of that period.
