This legislation has been repealed.

PAROLE ACT 1976 (REPEALED) - SECT 8

(1)         Where a person who is serving a sentence of imprisonment (in this section called “the previous sentence”) is sentenced to a further term of imprisonment (in this section called “the further sentence”), subsections 7 (1) and 7 (2) apply as if the court by which the further sentence is imposed had sentenced the person to imprisonment for a term equal to the aggregate of the terms of the previous sentence and the further sentence.

(2)         Subsection (1) applies whether the previous sentence was imposed before or after the commencement of this Act.

(3)         The imposition of the further sentence revokes any nonparole period fixed in respect of the previous sentence.

(4)         A non-parole period fixed at the time of the imposition of the further sentence—

        (a)     shall be taken to have commenced on the date on which the previous sentence was imposed; and

        (b)     shall not be such as to render the person eligible to be released on parole earlier than would have been the case if the further sentence had not been imposed.
