INTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)
Style changes

Section 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.

References to ILA s. 39B

Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided section or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subsections or subclauses, the original section or clause becomes subsection or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original section or clause.

Interpretation

As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:

All headings included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any heading inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; sections; clauses; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms. See section 36(1A)(2A).

All examples, diagrams or notes included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Act. See section 36(3A).

All punctuation included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 forms part of that Act. Any punctuation inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. See section 36(3B).

All provision numbers included in an Act form part of that Act, whether inserted in the Act before, on or after 1 January 2001. Provision numbers include section numbers, subsection numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).

A "legislative item" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of an Act is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.

Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of an Act. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E).

Schedule 3––Savings and transitional provisions

Section 89

1 Definitions

In this Schedule—

commencement day means the day on which this Schedule comes into operation;

existing detainee means a person who, immediately before the commencement day, was subject to an order under section 393 or 420 of the Crimes Act 1958 (whether by the court or by the Governor).

2 Existing detainees

(1) Each existing detainee is, on and after the commencement day, deemed to be subject to a custodial supervision order under this Act.

(2) The nominal term of the custodial supervision order is to be determined in accordance with section 28 as if the maximum penalty for the offence which led to the person becoming an existing detainee were the maximum penalty attaching to that offence on the commencement day.

(3) If the offence referred to in subsection (2) no longer exists—

(a) the Supreme Court, on application by the existing detainee or the Director of Public Prosecutions, must determine whether there is an existing offence, as at the commencement day, with which the existing detainee could have been charged had it existed at the time of the original charge; and

(b) if there is such an offence, the nominal term is to be determined by reference to the maximum penalty for that offence as at the commencement day.

(4) The nominal term runs from the day on which the existing detainee was made subject to the order under section 393 or 420 of the Crimes Act 1958.

Sch. 3 cl. 2(5) amended by No. 43/1998 s. 40(b)(i).

(5) If the nominal term has expired, a major review must be held within 6 months after the commencement day.

3 Leave

(1) Subject to this clause, an existing detainee who, immediately before the commencement day, was on leave from the place of detention that corresponds to leave that may be granted under Part 7 is deemed to be on the corresponding leave as if granted under that Part, and any conditions to which the leave was subject immediately before the commencement day continue to apply.

Sch. 3 cl. 3(2) amended by No. 43/1998 s. 40(b)(ii).

(2) Subclause (1) applies for the period of 12 months commencing on, and including, the commencement day.

(3) For the purposes of this clause, leave granted before the commencement day corresponds to leave that may be granted under Part 7 if it is substantially similar to that leave.

Sch. 3 cl. 3(4) inserted by No. 7/2002 s. 33(1).

(4) Sections 53 and 54, as in force immediately before the commencement of sections 24 and 25 of the Forensic Health Legislation (Amendment) Act 2002, continue to apply in relation to any limited off-ground leave granted before that commencement, until the expiry of that leave.

4 Revocation of supervision order

(1) Despite anything to the contrary in Part 5, an existing detainee who has been, or is deemed to have been, on extended leave for a period of at least 12 months may apply to the court that made the original order under which he or she was detained for revocation of his or her supervision order.

(2) On an application under subclause (1) the court may revoke the supervision order if satisfied on the evidence available that the safety of the existing detainee or members of the public will not be seriously endangered as a result of the revocation of the order.

(3) In considering an application for revocation of a supervision order in respect of an existing detainee the court may take into account any reports on the existing detainee made by, or submitted to, the Adult Parole Board before the commencement day.

5 Persons released under section 498 of Crimes Act 1958

Despite the repeal of section 498 of the Crimes Act 1958, any conditions imposed on a person under that section that were in force immediately before the commencement day continue to apply on and after the commencement day.

6 Unfitness to stand trial

(1) Part 2 applies with respect to an offence that is alleged to have been committed, whether before, on or after the commencement day.

(2) If a person has been found unfit to stand trial but no order has been made in respect of the person before the commencement day, the court must proceed to hold a special hearing under Part 3 in respect of the person.

7 Mental impairment and insanity

(1) Despite section 25, the defence of insanity continues to apply with respect to any offence alleged to have been committed before the commencement day.

(2) If a jury returns a verdict of not guilty on account of insanity in relation to a person charged with an offence alleged to have been committed before the commencement day, that verdict is to be taken for all purposes to be a finding of not guilty because of mental impairment under Part 4.
