54KA: When time ceases to run on sentence of intensive supervision

You could also call this:

"When time doesn't count towards your intensive supervision sentence"

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

When you are serving a sentence of intensive supervision, time stops counting during a certain period. This period is from when an application under section 54K(1)(a) is made to when the court makes a decision about it. The court can still count some or all of this time as time served, depending on what they think is fair. They will look at how well you followed the conditions of your sentence and how much time you spent in custody when making their decision.
