1 JUDGMENT OF THE COURT: The Sentencing Information Unit, and presumably the respondents, have asked whether or not the sentences imposed by the court (see The State of Western Australia v TIK [2009] WASCA 122) in substitution for those of the sentencing judge, should be backdated to take account of the time which had been spent in custody by the respondents. The sentencing judge had made such an order. In this case the only orders made were to substitute new sentences for those imposed by the sentencing judge. This court did not disturb the order made by the sentencing judge that the sentences be backdated to commence on 26 October 2008, in the case of TIK, and 17 October 2008, in the case of SNK. It is from those dates that the sentences imposed by this court will commence to run.
