- High Court
Section 94(4)(aa) excludes application of s 94 while an alcohol interlock sentence is active; the present-tense wording denotes an existing order, and allowing s 94 to apply where the offender has failed to comply with an interlock sentence would undermine the interlock regime and permit offenders to avoid further disqualification; therefore the District Court judge correctly declined to apply s 94 and imposed the mandatory disqualification.
