P-15 - Summary Convictions Act
Section 63.14
Disposition versions
63.14. A warrant of commitment issued while a defendant is already imprisoned in a house of detention or a penitentiary must be given forthwith to the director of the house of detention where the defendant is detained. If the defendant is a person under 18 years of age, a copy of the warrant is required to be remitted to the director of youth protection without delay.
The justice of the peace who issues the warrant may order that imprisonment for the new conviction be served consecutively to any other period of imprisonment. However, the justice must order that imprisonment for failure to pay the fine be served consecutively if it is proved to him that imprisonment currently being served has itself been imposed for failure to pay a fine.
