This Order brings into force section 76 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10), commencing on 1st April 2016 until the end of 31st March 2017, in the nine local justice areas specified in article 3. Among other things, section 76 inserts section 212A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44), which gives a court a power to impose an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement as part of a community order or suspended sentence order. Article 4(2) provides that any requirement imposed before section 76 ceases to be in force may continue to have effect after that time.
