of the manner in which the person is dealt with for the offence or each offence in respect of which the order is made as there would have been if the manner in which he or she is dealt with had been a sentence passed upon his or her conviction for that offence.
 (4) Where an order is made under subsection (1) in respect of a person, the court shall, as soon as practicable, cause the order to be reduced to writing and a copy of the order to be given to, or served on, the person.
 (5) The maximum amount of the penalty that a court may specify in respect of the offence or each offence in an order made under subsection (1) in relation to a person is:
 (a) where the offence is punishable by a fine—the amount of the maximum fine that the court is empowered to impose on the person for the offence; or
 (b) where the offence is not punishable by a fine:
 (i) if the court is not a court of summary jurisdiction—300 penalty units; or
 (ii) if the court is a court of summary jurisdiction—60 penalty units.
 (6) Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply in relation to a minimum non‑parole offence mentioned in section 19AG, or offences that include one or more such minimum non‑parole offences. This subsection has effect despite subsection (1) and sections 19AC and 19AE (which permit or require a court to make a recognizance release order in certain circumstances).
Note: If the court sentences the person to imprisonment for a minimum non‑parole offence, it must fix a non‑parole period under section 19AG.
