This Order prescribes all Sheriff Courts, District Courts and Justice of the Peace Courts in Scotland as the courts which must make a supervised attendance order in the circumstances described in section 235(4) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (article 3). These arrangements apply to these courts with effect from 1st September 2007.
