80ZGD: Effect of appeal on resumption of sentence of home detention

You could also call this:

"What happens to your home detention sentence if you appeal and lose."

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

If you appeal a sentence of home detention, this section applies to you. You must have lodged an appeal against your sentence or the conviction that led to it, and you must have been granted bail under section 53 or section 54 of the Bail Act 2000. The appeal must have been dismissed, or you must not have been allowed to appeal, or your sentence or conviction must still stand after the appeal.

If this section applies to you, the court will tell you when to report to a probation officer, which must be at least 10 working days after the appeal is decided. You must report to the probation officer on that day, and your home detention sentence will start again after you report.

If you have been on bail for more than 2 months, the probation officer will check if it is still suitable for you to serve your home detention sentence at the same address before you start again. They will also make sure everyone living at the address agrees to you serving your sentence there, as required by section 26A(3). If necessary, the probation officer will ask the court to change or cancel your sentence under section 80F, or get the Department of Corrections to change your home detention address under section 80FA.
