Director of Public Prosecutions (WA) v Narrier [No 2]

In the case of Director of Public Prosecutions (WA) v Narrier [No 2], the respondent was subject to a supervision order under the Dangerous Sexual Offenders Act 2006 (WA). The respondent was convicted of a sexual offence in 2006 and was required to comply with various conditions, including registering with the police and not committing any further offences. The Director of Public Prosecutions brought proceedings against the respondent for allegedly contravening the supervision order by committing a series of non-sexual offences while serving a sentence for those offences in prison. The respondent argued that his status as a sentenced prisoner serving a sentence for non-sexual offences was irrelevant to the contravention of the supervision order.

The legal issues in the case centred around the interpretation of the Dangerous Sexual Offenders Act 2006 (WA) and the relevance of the respondent's status as a sentenced prisoner serving a sentence for non-sexual offences to the contravention of the supervision order. The court had to determine whether the respondent's non-sexual offences while in prison were relevant to the contravention of the supervision order, and if so, how they should be taken into account. The court also had to consider the factual basis for determining the contravention of the supervision order.

The court held that the respondent's status as a sentenced prisoner serving a sentence for non-sexual offences was relevant to the contravention of the supervision order. The court found that the supervision order required the respondent to refrain from committing any further offences, regardless of whether they were sexual or non-sexual. The court held that the non-sexual offences committed by the respondent while in prison were relevant to the contravention of the supervision order and should be taken into account when determining whether the respondent had contravened the order. The court found that the respondent had contravened the supervision order by committing the non-sexual offences while in prison.

The court ordered that the respondent be sentenced for the contravention of the supervision order. The court noted that the respondent had already been sentenced for the non-sexual offences committed while in prison, and that the sentence for the contravention of the supervision order should be served concurrently with that sentence. The court ordered that the respondent be sentenced to a term of imprisonment for the contravention of the supervision order, to be served concurrently with his existing sentence.
