EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision in relation to offenders subject to community payback orders. Provisions introducing community payback orders were incorporated into the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 by section 14 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010.
Section 227ZL(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 requires local authorities to undertake annual consultations. The purpose of such consultations is to seek views about unpaid work and other activities undertaken by offenders subject to a community payback order in the local authority’s area. Regulation 2 lists those persons or classes of person that a local authority is required to consult.
