CRIMES (SENTENCING) ACT 2005 (NO. 58 OF 2005) - SECT 83

Imprisonment—written record of explanation

    (1)     The court must ensure that a written record of the explanation under section 82 is given to the offender or the offender's lawyer as soon as practicable after (but no later than 10 working days after the day) the explanation is given under that section.

Example of written record

a copy of the transcript of the explanation

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).

    (2)     Failure to comply with this section does not invalidate the sentence of imprisonment.
