This section applies to an offender who, while serving a community-based sentence or sentence of home detention (the first sentence), is sentenced to another community-based sentence or sentence of home detention (the second sentence) in respect of another offence.
The court must, when imposing the second sentence,—
impose a sentence that would be permitted in combination with the first sentence under section 19; or
defer the commencement of the second sentence until the first sentence has been served; or
cancel the first sentence; or
cancel the first sentence and substitute any other sentence that could have been imposed on the offender at the time when the offender was convicted of the offence for which the sentence was imposed so that the sentences are a permitted combination of sentences under section 19.
When cancelling the first sentence under subsection (2)﻿(c) or (d), the court must, when imposing the second sentence or substituting the first sentence with another sentence, as the case may be, take into account the portion of the first sentence that remains unserved.
A court—
must not cancel a first sentence under subsection (2)﻿(c) or (d) if that sentence has been imposed by a higher court; and
if it considers the first sentence should be cancelled, must refer the matter to the court that imposed the first sentence.
For the purposes of this section, an offender is to be treated as serving a sentence of home detention until the offender is no longer subject to any post-detention conditions imposed under section 80N (if any).
Sections 54, 54K, 68, 69I, and 80F (which relate to the variation or cancellation of community-based sentences and a sentence of home detention) do not apply to a cancellation under this section.
If the second sentence is a sentence of home detention or community detention and the court defers, under subsection (2)﻿(b), the commencement of that sentence for more than 2 months, a probation officer must—
review the suitability of the home detention residence or curfew address; and
ensure every relevant occupant consents, in accordance with section 26A(3), to the offender resuming the sentence at the home detention residence or curfew address; and
if necessary, apply to the court for a variation or cancellation of the sentence under section 69I or 80F or obtain from the chief executive of the Department of Corrections a variation of the curfew address or home detention residence under section 69JA or 80FA.

time ceases to run on the sentence during any period between the date on which an application under section 54(1)﻿(a) is lodged and the date on which the application is determined by the court; but
