244 Interstate transfer—operation of translated sentences
generally
(1) If, in relation to a translated sentence, a court of the relevant
participating state has fixed a minimum term of imprisonment
(shorter than the translated sentence) during which the person subject
to the sentence is not entitled to be released on parole, then, subject
to this division, the minimum term is taken to have been fixed by the
corresponding ACT court.
(2) If a translated sentence or a minimum term that is taken under
subsection (1) to have been fixed by a corresponding ACT court—
(a) is amended or set aside on review by (or appeal to) a court of the
relevant participating state—the sentence or minimum term is
taken to have been amended to the same extent, or to have been
set aside, by a corresponding ACT court; or
(b) is otherwise amended or ceases to have effect because of action
taken by any entity in the participating state—the sentence is
taken to have been amended to the same extent, or to have
ceased to have effect, because of action taken by an appropriate
ACT entity.
(3) This division does not permit in the ACT any appeal against or review
of any conviction, judgment, sentence or minimum term made,
imposed or fixed in relation to the person by a court of the
participating state.
