EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Act of Adjournal)

This Act of Adjournal amends the Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment No.4) (Miscellaneous) 2010, which amends the Criminal Procedure Rules 1996 in consequence of the introduction, by section 14 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, of community payback orders.

This Act of Adjournal amends the 2010 Act of Adjournal before or comes into force because some further provisions are necessary to make the rules on community payback orders complete.
