Paragraph 2(9) corrects a minor error in numbering the 1996 Rules.
Paragraph 2(10) inserts new Chapter 19A into the 1996 Rules to make provision for cases where the High Court of Justiciary has adjourned for sentence or has deferred sentence, to allow the Clerk of Justiciary to make an order altering the place where the case is to be called. The Clerk must make the order and intimate it to the parties to the proceedings and to the governor of any institution where the accused is detained no later than two days before the case is called.

Paragraphs 2(11) to (14) introduce new forms of citation of offenders and probationers to hearings connected with the breach or amendment of various orders. They also make various consequential and other minor amendments.
Paragraph 2(15) makes amendments to rule 37AA.9 of Chapter 37 of the 1996 Rules rectifying references to other rules in that Chapter. It applies to the Sheriff Court and High Court of Justiciary.
