Section 13A

If the accused is found guilty of an offence in any criminal proceedings begun by or on behalf of the Public Prosecutor, the Court in determining and passing sentence may with the consent of the prosecution and the accused, take into consideration any other outstanding offences that the accused admits to have committed.

If the outstanding offences referred to in subsection (1) were not begun by or on behalf of the Public Prosecutor, the Court must first be satisfied that the person or authority by whom those proceedings were begun consents to that course of action.
