156: Corrective training

You could also call this:

"What happens if you were already doing corrective training when the new sentencing laws started"

If you were given a sentence of corrective training under section 68 of the Criminal Justice Act 1985 before the new Sentencing Act 2002 started, this section applies to you. You have to keep serving that sentence as if the new Act had not been passed. The rules from the Criminal Justice Act 1985 and other related laws still apply to you, even if they were changed or cancelled by the new Sentencing Act 2002, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website and here.
