PROHIBITIONS - POWER TO MAKE CONSECUTIVE ORDERS

Prior to the amendments of the Criminal Code in 2008, courts did not have the power to impose consecutive prohibition orders. Section 295(2.1) now gives courts the power to make a prohibition order consecutive to any other prohibition that is in effect at the time of sentencing. The section does not appear to give the court the authority to make a prohibition order consecutive to another prohibition order made during the same sentencing hearing.
