Full text
220. Where a statement of offence contains several counts arising from the same facts or the same events, the judge may render judgment on each count; he shall commence with the count describing the most serious offence and continue in decreasing order to the count describing the least serious offence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the judge convicts the defendant of an offence, he shall, unless he is satisfied that the lawgiver did not intend to prevent a conviction in respect of one of the other counts, postpone judgment on the other counts. The clerk shall enter that fact in the record of the judgment.
