Ali Mohamed v. R., Crim. App. 504-D-67, 6/12/67, Biron, J
Accused was convicted, in two separate trials, of two different burglaries, committed three weeks apart, and received respectively sentences of three years imprisonment plus 24 strokes, and two years imprisonment plus 24 strokes. This was an appeal from the second conviction.
Held: (1) When a court does not specify whether sentences are to run consecutively or concurrently, they are to run consecutively unless a higher court orders otherwise. Here the High Court ordered the two sentences of imprisonment to run concurrently. (2) There is no authority for the Court to order sentences of corporal punishment in two separate cases to be executed concurrently.
