Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts(1) A supervision order comes into force:
(a) if the supervisee is a qualifying offender when the order is made – when he or she ceases to be a qualifying offender; or
(b) otherwise – at the time the order is made.
Note for subsection (1)(a)
If the supervisee is a qualifying offender who is subject to a parole order, the Supreme Court may allow the supervisee to serve out his or her sentence on parole before the supervision order comes into force. Alternatively, the Court may suspend or revoke the parole order under section 28(2) or 31(2) so that the supervisee serves out his or her sentence in custody before the supervision order comes into force.
(2) An interim supervision order remains in force until the first of the following occurs:
(a) the order is revoked;
(b) the proceeding during which the order was made or extended is finally determined;
(c) if an expiry date is stated in the order – the order expires.
(3) A final supervision order remains in force until the first of the following occurs:
(a) the order is revoked;
(b) the order expires.
(4) Despite subsection (3)(b), if a supervisee is returned to custody to serve a sentence of imprisonment for an offence, the period for which the order remains in force is extended by the length of time he or she is in custody serving that sentence.
