159A. Concurrent probation orders



(1) If a person is found guilty on the same day, or in the same proceeding, of
more than one offence, the aggregate period of any probation orders imposed in
respect of the offences must not exceed 18 months or extend beyond the
person's twenty-first birthday.

(2) Despite anything to the contrary in any Act, every probation order imposed
on a person by the Court shall, unless otherwise directed by the Court at the
time of making the probation order, be, as from the date of its commencement,
served concurrently with any uncompleted probation order or orders imposed on
that person, whether previously to or at the time the relevant order was made.



(3) If the Court imposes a probation order on a person who has not completed
another probation order, it may direct that the order being imposed be served
in part concurrently with the other order or wholly cumulatively on it.
