Jurisdiction

4Her Majesty may by commissions of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery for Greater London addressed to the judges of the Court assign to them the duty to exercise jurisdiction under the commissions as judges of the Court, and the commissions shall have the like effect as respects Greater London as commissions of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery issued for a county elsewhere in England and Wales have as respects that county.

5The jurisdiction of the Court shall include jurisdiction to try and determine indictments for offences committed within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England.

6Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that the area of jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court for any session of the Court specified in the Order shall extend to any specified area adjoining Greater London ; and any enactment (including any enactment in this Act) relating to the Central Criminal Court shall have effect as respects the session specified in the Order as if the area so specified were part of Greater London.

7Every Order in Council under the last foregoing paragraph shall be laid before Parliament after being made.

8The jurisdiction of the Court may be exercised by any one or more of the judges of the Court and those judges shall, when exercising that jurisdiction, be deemed to constitute a court of the High Court.
