Re Adlam - [1984] 1 NZLR 389

Criminal law — Criminal records — Sentence — Ambiguous entry — Accused had been convicted on two counts and sentenced to a term of imprisonment — Entry in Criminal Records did not clearly record that prison sentence had been imposed concurrently on both counts — Accused's appeal against conviction on one of the counts was allowed and an acquittal entered on that count — In a habeas corpus application, accused claimed that the sentence must be deemed to have been imposed only on the count on which his appeal had been allowed — Interpretation of entry in Criminal Records
