Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) A conviction of a person for an offence (the first offence ) that is spent is not revived by the subsequent conviction of the person for another offence (the later offence ).
(2) However, if the later offence was committed during the crime-free period for the first offence and—
(a) the person is convicted summarily of the later offence by an ACT court—the court may order that this part ceases to apply to the person in relation to the first offence until the crime-free period for the later offence has ended; or
(b) the person is convicted on indictment of the later offence by an ACT court—this part automatically ceases to apply to the person in relation to the first offence until the crime-free period for the later offence has ended; or
(c) the person is convicted of the later offence by a court of the Commonwealth, a State or Territory or a foreign country—this part automatically ceases to apply to the person in relation to the first offence until the crime-free period for the later offence has ended.
(3) While this part does not apply to the person
in relation to the first offence, the conviction of the person for the first
offence is not a spent conviction.
