CONT

La peine imposée est consécutive, si le tribunal en ordonne ainsi, lorsque l'accusé est déjà sous le coup d'une sentence au moment de son accusation ou a été antérieurement déclaré coupable d'une infraction. Le tribunal peut alors prescrire que la peine qu'il impose commencera après l'expiration de la première.
