The applicant challenged the imposition of a sex offender’s order, on the basis that having been convicted of the last offence, that was the date after which he had to have behaved in such a way as to cause the concern necessary in turn to found an application.
Held: The Act required only such behaviour only either after the date of commencement of the Act, or after the most recent conviction. Behaviour occurring after commencement of the Act, but before the last conviction could be used.
