According to this rule, a convicted person serving a sentence of imprisonment of more than one month may be released after serving two-thirds of his sentence, it being understood that such remission should not reduce a sentence to less than thirty days. While Rule 285 was supplemented by Rule 288 to formulate a method for calculating the Decree, Rule 285A did not inadvertently adopt a similar approach. With the great suspicion of the draftsman, it was sufficient to amend Article 288 for a prisoner sentenced to a prison term of one year or less to be credited with at least six (6) and not more than twelve (12) points for his diligence and conduct for that day. As shown in Table 2, this would have created a mechanism by which this particular class of orders in council could be calculated in accordance with section 285. As things stand, as soon as a convicted person is admitted to prison with a sentence of one year or less, he is immediately informed of his earliest possible release date, in fact the date on which he is released, except in cases where remission of sentence is lost for breach of detention discipline. For this reason, in Ajay Dookee – State of Mauritius [2012] UKPC 21 at paragraph 17, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council recommended that the sentence be backdated by the amount of the remission to which the prisoner was duly entitled. (1) If the forfeited property is to be retained for official use or transferred to a state or local law enforcement agency or foreign government in accordance with the law, and a lien holder has obtained a remission or mitigation, the recipient of the property shall ensure that: In the late 1980s, The scourge of prison overcrowding began to make its appearance, and prison officials gradually became unable to pay individual attention to each prisoner and correctly fill out their return cards. The practice then developed to automatically grant prisoners a one-third remission of sentence, regardless of their good behaviour and diligence. (3) If the lien holder fails to notify the reviewing officer of the election of one of the two options referred to in paragraph (b)(2) of this section within 20 days of receiving the notification, the appropriate officer shall order the USMS or another custodian to sell the property and pay the secured creditor an amount up to the net capital. less costs and expenses incurred in connection with the forfeiture and sale and any monetary conditions. If a secured creditor subsequently receives payment of any kind on the debt due for which it received payment following the granting of a rebate or mitigation, it shall repay the confiscation fund up to the amount of the payment received. (i) in the case of waiver, the privilege must be satisfied in accordance with the application procedure; or It would be understood that a prison sentence of twelve (12) years would result in a remission of one-third of the sentence imposed, i.e.

four (4) years or forty-eight (48) months. However, if the prisoner is sentenced to nine (9) years` imprisonment, from the date of conviction, the sentence would result in only three (3) years (instead of four (4) years of surrender). (3) If the Government sells or disposes of the property before the rebate is granted, the owner shall receive the proceeds of the sale less the costs incurred by the Government in carrying out the sale. The official in power may, at his discretion, waive the deduction of costs and expenses related to the forfeiture. Remission refers to «the reduction of one`s own sentence.» A prisoner may be granted a remission of sentence for good behaviour. For example, he was sentenced to five years, but was only to serve three years with remission. In the medical sciences, the term «remission» refers to the temporary disappearance of the symptoms of a disease. However, a prisoner sentenced to thirty-six (36) days` imprisonment would not be admitted to release after twenty-four (24) days, as the decree could not reduce a sentence to less than thirty (30) days. The greatest reduction in sentence that such a prisoner could accumulate would be six (6) days.
