    (2)     If the Court of Appeal imposes a sentence under subsection (1), it may make any other order that it considers ought to be made.

    (3)     In imposing a sentence under subsection (1), the Court of Appeal must not take into account the element of double jeopardy involved in the respondent being sentenced again, in order to impose a less severe sentence than the court would otherwise consider appropriate.
