s 67A CPO requires mandatory credit for any period of custody spent in relation to the offence for which sentence is imposed, whether police custody under s 67A(1A) or remand custody under s 67A(1), and that entitlement is not negated by separate court file numbers or omission of pre-conviction custody details from a s 86 Certificate; the Commissioner's refusal to apply that statutory credit was unlawful and subject to certiorari and mandamus.
