87 Fixing new non-parole period in respect of multiple sentences
(a) a youth has been sentenced to be detained or imprisoned for
an offence and a non-parole period has been fixed in respect
of the sentence; and
(b) before the end of the non-parole period the youth is sentenced
by the Court to a further term of detention or imprisonment.
(1A) The Court must fix a new single non-parole period in respect of all
the sentences the youth 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 youth is to
serve or complete; and
(b) must not be such as to render the youth eligible to be released
on parole earlier than would have been the case if the further
sentence had not been imposed.
