(1) This Part applies
whether the offence of which a person is acquitted is alleged to have occurred
before or after the commencement of this Part.
(2) This Part does not
apply if a person is acquitted of the offence with which the person is charged
but is convicted of a lesser offence arising out of the same set of
circumstances that gave rise to the charge.
(3) However, this Part
does apply in the circumstances set out in subsection (2) if the
acquittal was tainted.
