Suspension, effect of
68 Suspension, effect of
If an early release order in respect of a prisoner serving a fixed term is suspended, the prisoner is then liable to resume serving the fixed term in custody and, unless the suspension ceases, is not entitled to be released until he or she has served the whole of that term.
If a parole order in respect of a prisoner serving life imprisonment is suspended, the prisoner is then liable to resume serving the sentence in custody.
The suspension of an early release order ceases at the end of the suspension period or when, before then, the suspension is cancelled.
When the suspension of an early release order ceases, the early release order and any other early release order taken to be suspended again have effect unless during the period of suspension the early release order was itself cancelled.
Nothing in this section prevents another early release order being made under this Act in respect of a prisoner.
