Extradition Act 2003

Section 199: Bail: Scotland

567.This section amends the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995. A new section 24A is inserted into Part 3 of that Act, modifying the Act’s provisions on bail in relation to extradition proceedings. The effect of the new provisions is that the existing Scots law of bail applies to persons facing extradition, in so far as this is consistent with the Act. This is to reflect the situation in England and Wales.

568.In Scotland, unlike in England and Wales, the police have no power to grant bail. However, the Lord Advocate has the power to grant bail to any person charged with any crime or offence. The new section 24A(1)(b) makes it clear that the Lord Advocate can exercise this power in relation to a person subject to extradition proceedings.

569.The new section 24A also includes an order-making power to enable the Scottish Ministers to amend the bail provisions in the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, in so far as is necessary or expedient, for the purposes of extradition.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
