(1) The purpose of this chapter is to provide for how this Act applies to an offender subject to a sentence or order (including an order for remand) made by a court for an offence with which the offender was charged before the commencement day.
(2) To remove any doubt, this chapter does not prevent the application of the law of the territory as in force immediately before the commencement day to a proceeding, including an appeal or retrial, for an offence with which the offender was charged before the commencement day.
