EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes articles 8 to 17 of the Justices of the Peace (Scotland) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”), and introduces a new framework for the training of justices of the peace (“JPs”).

Article 3 provides that every JP must undertake at least 12 hours of mandatory training each year, and must undertake 6 hours of training delivered by the Judicial Institute every 3 years.

Article 4 establishes the JTCJI, and articles 5 to 7 set out its functions and responsibilities. Article 8 makes provision about the procedure of the JTCJI.

Article 9 establishes a JTAC in each sheriffdom. The JTACs replace the formerly separate Justices’ Training Committees (“JTCs”) and Justices’ Appraisal Committees (“JACs”) that were established by the 2007 Order. Article 11 sets out the functions of the JTACs and article 12 makes provision for how the JTACs must deal with the appraisal of JPs.
