Failure to consider the Commissioner of Correctional Services' report as required by s.54A rendered the original custodial sentence unlawful; the Court of Appeal may quash such a sentence and, after obtaining and considering the report, reimpose an appropriate custodial sentence — in this case two years' imprisonment consecutive with the existing sentence.
