Paragraph 2

Where a person ordered to be retried is again convicted on retrial, the court before which he is convicted may pass in respect of the offence any sentence authorised by law, not being a sentence of greater severity than that passed on the original conviction.

Without prejudice to its power to impose any other sentence, the court before which an offender is convicted on retrial may pass in respect of the offence any sentence passed in respect of that offence on the original conviction notwithstanding that, on the date of the conviction on retrial, the offender has ceased to be of an age at which such a sentence could otherwise be passed.

Where the person convicted on retrial is sentenced to imprisonment or other detention, the sentence shall begin to run from the time when a like sentence passed at the original trial would have begun to run; but in computing the term of his sentence or the period for which he may be detained thereunder, as the case may be, there shall be disregarded—

F2F3F4Sections 240ZA and 240A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 F5and section 325 of the Sentencing Code (crediting of periods of remand in custody or on bail subject to certain types of condition: terms of imprisonment F6or detention and detention and training orders) shall apply to any sentence imposed on conviction on retrial as if it had been imposed on the original conviction.
