If a court decides to sentence you or make a special order under section 108 or section 110 of the Sentencing Act 2002, but does not say you are guilty, you are still considered guilty. This happens unless the court says otherwise or another part of this Act says something different. The court's decision to sentence you or make a special order is what matters in this situation.
