Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Magistrates' Courts (Remands in Custody) Order 1989 and the Magistrates' Courts (Remands in Custody) Order 1991 by removing references to accused persons who have attained the age of 17. These amendments are made in consequence of the amendment to section 128A of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 by section 52(2) of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, which removed a similar reference in section 128A itself. As a result, the provision in section 128A (remands in custody for more than eight days) applies to all accused persons, whatever their age.
