Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

CRIMES (SENTENCING) ACT 2005 (NO. 58 OF 2005) - SECT 24

    (1)     A non-association order or place restriction order—

        (a)     must be for a period of no longer than 12 months; and

        (b)     must state when it starts and the period for which it operates.

    (2)     To remove any doubt, the period of a non-association order or place restriction order is not limited by the term of any other sentence imposed for the offence for which the order is made.

Example

Sean is convicted of an offence. The court decides that the appropriate penalty is 6 months periodic detention and a place restriction order. The place restriction order may be for longer than 6 months (but no longer than 12 months).

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
