(This note is not part of the Act of Adjournal)
This Act of Adjournal substitutes Form 20.3A-B of the Criminal Procedure Rules 1996 to make the notification requirements following conviction for a sexual offence clearer.
In addition, it amends Form 54.1 to provide additional procedural safeguards when financial penalties imposed in absence in other European Union jurisdictions are being collected by the Scottish Courts.
