Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations modify the Prosecution of Offences (Custody Time Limits) Regulations 1987 so as to provide for cases where a person is sent from a magistrates' court to the Crown Court for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
Regulation 2 amends regulation 5 of the 1987 Regulations in relation to the new procedure so as to provide a maximum Crown Court custody time limit of 182 days less any period previously spent in the custody of a magistrates' court for the relevant offence. In relation to cases where the accused first appeared before a magistrates' court prior to the commencement of the new procedure, the Crown Court limit will be no less than 112 days (the current custody time limit after committal for trial).
