Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts(1) This section applies if a sentence administration proceeding is started on or after the commencement day under the old sentence administration law.
(2) This Act applies in relation to the sentence administration proceeding.
Note 1 A court may impose or make a sentence or order for an offender under the old sentence administration law in a proceeding that starts or ends before, on or after the commencement day if the offender was charged with the offence before the commencement day (see Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 , s 140 (2) (Application of Act—charges after commencement)).
Note 2 Because of this Act, pt 16.2, pt 16.3 and pt 16.4, a sentence or order made under the old sentence administration law is converted into the corresponding sentence or order under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 (or, for a parole order, this Act). If a recognisance is entered into under an order under the Crimes Act 1900 , pt 18, the recognisance is taken to be an undertaking signed under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 , s 13 (2) for the order.
The conversion takes place either on the commencement day (if the sentence or order was imposed or made before then), immediately after the sentence or order is made (if the sentence or order was imposed or made after then) or immediately after any sentence administration proceeding in relation to the sentence or order ends (if the proceeding had started, but not ended, on the commencement day).
