Special order, time of operation
127 Special order, time of operation
In this section relevant day means —
in relation to a custodial sentence being served in a prison, the earliest day on which the offender can be released from prison whether on parole or otherwise;
in relation to a custodial sentence being served in a detention centre, the earliest release day for that sentence.
If there are different relevant days in respect of 2 or more custodial sentences, subsections (3) and (4) refer to the later or last of those days.
Subject to subsection (4), the special order begins to run on the relevant day for any other custodial sentence that the offender is liable to undergo.
If, on the relevant day, the unserved portion of any other custodial sentence or sentences that the offender is liable to undergo is more than 18 months, the special order does not begin to run until that unserved portion is 18 months.
