112. Limitation of total period of sentences of detention

Notwithstanding anything in this Part, no offender shall be kept continuously in detention for a period exceeding 2 years in pursuance of two or more sentences of detention.

Subsection (1) shall not affect the validity of any order of direction under this Part that a sentence of detention shall begin to run from the expiry of another such sentence, but so much of any term of detention to which any such order or direction relates as would prolong the total term of detention beyond 2 years shall be remitted by virtue of the order or direction.

Where any person who has been sentenced by a court-martial under this Act to detention is subsequently sentenced by a court-martial under this Act to imprisonment, any part of the sentence of detention which has not been served shall thereupon be remitted by virtue of this subsection.
