Policing and Crime Act 2009

Section 66 Transfer of jurisdiction to Crown Court

336.Sections 75 to 77 of, and Schedule 10 to, the Serious Crime Act 2007 enabled the production order and search and seizure warrant provisions in Part 8 of POCA to be used for investigating the provenance or intended destination of cash seized under Chapter 3 of Part 5 of POCA (which provides for the recovery of cash in summary proceedings). The amendments created a new type of investigation, namely a detained cash investigation. This was additional to the other types of investigation under POCA, namely a confiscation investigation, civil recovery investigation and money laundering investigation. Detained cash investigation powers assist in the preparation of a case for forfeiting the cash before the magistrates’ court in England and Wales and Northern Ireland or the Sheriff in Scotland.

337.Applications for a production order and a search and seizure warrant for a detained cash investigation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are made to a judge of the High Court (section 343 of POCA, as amended by paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to the Serious Crime Act).

338.Section 66 transfers the jurisdiction for applications relating to detained cash investigations from a judge of the High Court to a judge entitled to exercise the jurisdiction of the Crown Court in England and Wales, which includes Circuit judges, Recorders and High Court judges in their Crown Court capacity. In Northern Ireland a Crown Court judge will hear such applications. The jurisdiction will remain with the sheriff in Scotland.

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.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
