 The maximum determinate sentence is a life sentence with a 25-year parole ineligibility period.For offences committed prior to December 2, 2011 all life sentences and related parole ineligibility periods are served concurrently (at the same time).In cases of multiple murder, where the offence occurred after December 2, 2011 (the date new legislation came into force), a court may, after considering any jury recommendation, order consecutive parole ineligibility periods for each murder.
