It is wrong in principle, and beyond proper jurisdictional exercise for practical purposes, to impose a training‑centre detention order that would either be concurrent with an existing term of imprisonment or be deferred to commence on release from imprisonment; consequently the Court allowed the review, quashed the training‑centre order and substituted a concurrent term of imprisonment structured to permit the respondent's immediate release.
