Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts57. Fixing of new non-parole period in respect of multiple sentences
(1) Where:
(a) a court has sentenced an offender to be imprisoned for an offence and has fixed a non-parole period in respect of the sentence; and
(b) before the end of the non-parole period the offender is sentenced by a court to a further term of imprisonment in respect of which it proposes to fix a non-parole period,
it shall fix a new single non-parole period in respect of all the sentences the offender is to serve or complete.
(2) The new single non-parole period fixed at the time of the imposition of the further sentence:
(a) supersedes any previous non-parole period that the offender is to serve or complete;
(b) shall not be such as to render the offender eligible to be released on parole earlier than would have been the case if the further sentence had not been imposed; and
(c) shall not be less than the non-parole period required to be fixed in accordance with section 53A, 54, 55 or 55A, as the case may be, in respect of the further sentence.
