This section applies where—
The court must specify the credit period for the purposes of section 240A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (time remanded on bail to count towards time served) in relation to the sentence.
The credit period is calculated by taking the following steps.
Step 1 Add—
(a)the day on which the offender's bail was first subject to the relevant conditions (and for this purpose a condition is not prevented from being a relevant condition by the fact that it does not apply for the whole of the day in question), and
(b)the number of other days on which the offender's bail was subject to those conditions (but exclude the last of those days if the offender spends the last part of it in custody).
Step 2 Deduct the number of days on which the offender, whilst on bail subject to the relevant conditions, was also—
(a)subject to any requirement imposed for the purpose of securing the electronic monitoring of the offender's compliance with a curfew requirement, or
(b)on temporary release under rules made under section 47 of the Prison Act 1952.
Step 3 From the remainder, deduct the number of days during that remainder on which the offender has broken either or both of the relevant conditions.
Step 4 Divide the result by 2.
Step 5 If necessary, round up to the nearest whole number.
