South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts7—Prosecutor to furnish particulars of victim's injury etc
(1) Subject to
subsection (2), the prosecutor must, for the purpose of assisting a court
to determine sentence for an offence, furnish the court with particulars (that
are reasonably ascertainable and not already before the court in evidence or a
pre-sentence report) of—
(a)
injury, loss or damage resulting from the offence; and
(b)
injury, loss or damage resulting from—
(i)
any other offence that is to be taken into account
specifically in the determination of sentence; or
(ii)
a course of conduct consisting of a series of criminal
acts of the same or a similar character of which the offence for which
sentence is to be imposed forms part.
(2) The prosecutor may
refrain from furnishing the court with particulars of injury, loss or damage
suffered by a person if the person has expressed a wish to that effect to the
prosecutor.
(2a) If the offence is
not an offence in relation to which a victim impact statement may be furnished
in accordance with section 7A, the court must nevertheless allow
particulars furnished under this section to include a victim impact statement
unless the court determines that it would not be appropriate in the
circumstances of the case (and the other provisions of this Division relating
to victim impact statements apply to such a statement as if it were furnished
under section 7A).
(3) The validity of a
sentence is not affected by non-compliance or insufficient compliance with
this section.
