(1) This section applies if a court—
(a) makes any order or imposes any sentence that has the effect of making a person a registrable offender for the purposes of this Act; or
(b) imposes any sentence on a person in relation to a registrable offence; or
S. 51(1)(ba) inserted by No. 34/2005 s. 18(2).
(ba) determines an appeal made to it by a registrable offender against the finding of guilt or sentence in respect of a registrable offence or against the making of a sex offender registration order in respect of an offence; or
(c) makes any order in relation to a registrable offender that has the effect of removing the person from the ambit of this Act.
Example:
Paragraph (c) would apply, for instance, if a court on appeal quashes a person's finding of guilt in relation to a registrable offence in respect of which he or she had been sentenced and that was the only offence in respect of which he or she had ever been found guilty.
S. 51(2) amended by No. 34/2005 s. 18(3)(a)(b).
(2) The court must ensure that details of the order, sentence or determination of appeal are provided to the Chief Commissioner of Police as soon as is practicable after the making or imposition of the order or sentence or the determination of the appeal (as the case requires).
(3) In this section, "court" does not include a court of a foreign jurisdiction.
