SENTENCING ACT 1995 - SECT 46

46 .         Release without sentence

                A court sentencing an offender may impose no sentence if it considers that —

            (a)         the circumstances of the offence are trivial or technical; and

            (b)         having regard to —

                  (i)         the offender’s character, antecedents, age, health and mental condition; and

                  (ii)         any other matter that the court thinks is proper to consider,

                it is not just to impose any other sentencing option.

        [Section 46 amended: No. 17 of 2014 s. 37(2).]
