80ZG Effect of subsequent sentence of imprisonment (1) This section applies if an offender who is subject to a sentence of home detention is subsequently sentenced to a term of imprisonment. (2) If this section applies, the sentence of home detention is suspended until the earlier of the following events— (a) it resumes under subsection (4)(b); or (b) it is cancelled under subsection (6). (3) No period during which a sentence of home detention is suspended under subsection (2) is counted towards the period under section 80A(3) . (4) If the sentence or sentences of imprisonment are quashed and that results in the offender no longer being detained under a sentence of imprisonment,— (a) the offender must report to a probation officer as soon as practicable and not later than 72 hours after being released from detention; and (b) the sentence of home detention resumes when the offender has reported as required under paragraph (a). (5) The Registrar of the court in which the sentence or sentences of imprisonment are quashed must notify the chief executive of the Department of Corrections. (6) If the sentence of home detention never resumes under subsection (4)(b), it is cancelled when the offender ceases to be detained under the sentence of imprisonment.
