[227NOffenders subject to more than one unpaid work or other activity requirementS
(1)This section applies where—
(a)a court is considering imposing an unpaid work or other activity requirement on an offender (referred to as the “new requirement”), and
(b)at the time the court is considering imposing the requirement, there is already in effect one or more community payback orders imposing such a requirement on the same offender (each referred to as an “existing requirement”).
(2)The court may, in imposing the new requirement, direct that it is to be concurrent with any existing requirement.
(3)Where the court makes a direction under subsection (2), hours of unpaid work or other activity undertaken after the new requirement is imposed count for the purposes of compliance with that requirement and the existing requirement.
(4)Subsection (5) applies where the court does not make a direction under subsection (2).
(5)The maximum number of hours which may be specified in the new requirement is the number of hours specified in section 227I(4)(b) less the aggregate of the number of hours of unpaid work or activity still to be completed under each existing requirement at the time the new requirement is imposed.
(6)In calculating that aggregate, if any existing requirement is concurrent with another (by virtue of a direction under subsection (2)), hours that count for the purposes of compliance with both (or, as the case may be, all) are to be counted only once.
(7)Where that maximum number is less than the minimum number of hours that can be specified by virtue of section 227I(4)(a), the court must not impose the new requirement.]
