EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order provides that section 76 of the Terrorism Act shall cease to have effect. Section 76 deals with the admissibility in a trial on indictment for a scheduled offence of a statement made by the accused. The effect of section 76 ceasing to have effect is that the provisions of section 74 of the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (S.I. 1989 No. 1341) will apply where previously section 76 of the Terrorism Act 2000 would have applied.

Notes:

 [1] 2000 c.11.back

[2] Section 76 was continued in force until 19th February 2003 by S.I. 2002/365.back
