(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the provisions of the Prosecution of Offences (Custody Time Limits) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/299) ("the 1987 Regulations") relating to custody time limits where someone is sent for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37) ("the 1998 Act"). These amendments are in consequence of the coming into force in certain areas of Schedule 3 to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44) ("the 2003 Act"). Schedule 3, in particular, amends the 1998 Act to expand the circumstances in which a person is to be sent by a magistrates' court to the Crown Court for trial for an offence. The 1987 Regulations are amended so that they apply where a person is sent for trial under the 1998 Act, whether under the 1998 Act as amended by Schedule 3 to the 2003 Act or not.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1985 c. 23; section 22(2) was amended by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37), section 43(1); section 22(11) which defines "custody of the Crown Court" for section 22 was amended for certain purposes by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44), section 41 and Schedule 3, paragraph 57.
S.I. 1987/299, amended by S.I. 2000/3284; there are other amending instruments but none is relevant.
