114: Cumulative orders and sentences

You could also call this:

"Serving sentences one after another, not at the same time"

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

If you get a non-association order, it usually does not add to another non-association order or sentence you receive at the same time. You will serve the non-association order and the other sentence separately. This means you will not serve them at the same time.

If you are already in detention for a sentence of 24 months or less, and you get a non-association order, you will serve the non-association order after you finish your detention sentence. This is because the non-association order is added to your detention sentence in this case. You can find more information about this by looking at the Crimes Act 1985.

Discharge and miscellaneous orders: Non-association orders

114Cumulative orders and sentences

  1. A non-association order must not be cumulative on another non-association order or on a sentence of any kind imposed at the same time as the non-association order.

  2. If the court imposes a non-association order on an offender who is already detained under a sentence of imprisonment of 24 months or less, the non-association order is cumulative on the other sentence.
