70 .         Offending while on early release order: automatic cancellation

        (1)         If a prisoner, while subject to an early release order, commits an offence (in this State or elsewhere) and is sentenced to imprisonment (other than suspended imprisonment) for that offence —

            (a)         any early release order applicable to the prisoner when the offence was committed is cancelled by virtue of this section; and

            (b)         any early release order made in respect of the prisoner on or after the date on which the offence was committed and before the sentence of imprisonment was imposed is cancelled by virtue of this section, irrespective of whether it had taken effect or not.

        (2)         For the purposes of subsection (1) it does not matter if the sentence of imprisonment for the offence committed while subject to the early release order is imposed on the prisoner —

            (a)         after the period of the order; or

            (b)         after the date when, but for the cancellation of the order by virtue of subsection (1), the prisoner would have served or be taken to have served the term to which the order relates.
