PART 1Introductory provisions and overview

I12Application of Code

1

The Sentencing Code does not apply where a person is convicted of an offence before F11 December 2020.

2

Accordingly, any provision that corresponds to a provision of the Sentencing Code continues on and after that date to have effect as regards dealing with a person—

a

for an offence of which the person was convicted before that date, and

b

in relation to a sentence passed for an offence of which the person was convicted before that date.

3

Where on or after that date a court is dealing with a person in relation to an offence of which the person was convicted before that date and is required to treat the person as just convicted of the offence, the requirement does not mean that subsection (2) no longer applies.
