EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Restriction of Liberty Order etc. (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (“the Principal Regulations”) by adding to regulation 5 of the Principal Regulations a further purpose for which the devices specified in Schedule 2 of the Principal Regulations may be used.
Section 245C(3) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”) requires the Scottish Ministers to specify in regulations the devices which may be used for remotely monitoring the compliance of offenders with the requirements of restriction of liberty orders. Section 40(2) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”) provides that, where a prisoner is released on licence under Part 1 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993, the licence may contain conditions for securing the remote monitoring of the prisoner. Section 40(7) of the 2003 Act provides that sections 245C of the 1995 Act applies in relation to the imposition of and compliance with, conditions specified by virtue of section 40(2) as it applies to the making of, and compliance with, a restriction of liberty order.
This amendment to the regulation 5 of the Principal Regulations, under the power in section 245C(3) of the 1995 Act, provides that the devices listed in Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations are specified devices which may be used for the purposes of remotely monitoring a prisoner’s compliance with a condition specified by virtue of section 40(2) of the 2003 Act.
