Illustration for Parole Act 2002

When you have many sentences that are treated as one sentence, this is called a notional single sentence. The start date of this notional single sentence is the same as the start date of the first sentence in the group. You find the start date by looking at the first sentence in the series of sentences that make up the notional single sentence.
