Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings into force—

(a)certain provisions of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1995 (“the Act”) which are specified in the Schedule 1 to the Order on 5 March 1996 but only for the purpose of enabling subordinate legislation to be made under the provisions specified in that Schedule so as to come into force on or after 31st March 1996 (article 3(1)), and

(b)all the provisions of the Act, except section 66, on 31st March 1996, insofar as they are not then in force (article 3(2)).

Section 66 is the only provision of the Act which is not commenced on 31st March 1996. That section amends section 27(1) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 to make provision for the supervision and care of persons diverted from prosecution or subject to supervision requirement.

Articles 4 to 6 and Schedule 2 make transitional and savings provisions.
