I561References to a person being “dealt with” for an offence

1

References in this Part to a person being dealt with for or in respect of an offence are to their being sentenced, or made subject to a hospital order, in respect of the offence.

References in this Part to an offence being dealt with are to a person being dealt with in respect of the offence.

2

Subject to the following provisions of this section, references in this Part to the time at which a person is dealt with for an offence are to the time at which they are first dealt with—

a

in England and Wales, by a magistrates' court or the Crown Court;

b

in Scotland, by a sheriff or by the High Court of Justiciary;

c

in Northern Ireland, by the county court.

This is referred to below as “the original decision”.

3

Where the original decision is varied (on appeal or otherwise), then—

a

if the result is that the conditions for application of the notification requirements to a person in respect of an offence cease to be met (and paragraph (c) below does not apply), the notification requirements are treated as never having applied to that person in respect of that offence;

b

if the result is that the conditions for application of the notification requirements to a person in respect of an offence are met where they were not previously met (and paragraph (c) below does not apply)—

i

the person is treated as dealt with for the offence when the variation takes place, and

ii

the notification requirements apply accordingly;

c

if—

i

a conviction of, or finding in relation to, a different offence is substituted, and

ii

the conditions for application of the notification requirements were met in respect of the original offence and are also met in respect of the substituted offence,

the person is treated as if they had been dealt with for the substituted offence at the time of the original decision;

d

if the sentence is varied so as to become one by virtue of which the notification requirements would apply for a different period, the period for which those requirements apply shall be determined as if the sentence as varied had been imposed at the time of the original decision;

e

in any other case, the variation is disregarded.

4

For the purposes of—

a

section 41(5) (effect of order adding offence to list of terrorism offences),

e

paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 5 (conditions for making foreign travel restriction order: behaviour since offence dealt with),

a person is treated as dealt with at the time of the original decision and any subsequent variation of the decision is disregarded.

b

paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 5 (conditions for making foreign travel restriction order where offence dealt with before commencement),

a person is dealt with for an offence before the commencement of this Part if the time of the original decision falls before the commencement of this Part.

Where in such a case subsection (3) above applies for the purposes of any provision of this Part, that subsection has effect as if the provisions of this Part had been in force at all material times.

6

In section 47(6) (adaptation of initial notification requirements in case of offence dealt with before commencement)—

a

the reference in the opening words to an offence dealt with before the commencement of this Part is to an offence where the time of the original decision falls before the commencement of this Part, and
