In this section—
- “repealed provision” means—
  1. an enactment, to the extent that it is to be repealed or revoked by the sentencing consolidation;
  2. a provision made under such an enactment;
- “transition time”, in relation to a repealed provision, means a time that is specified in, or determined in accordance with, an enactment relating to the coming into force of the repealed provision or any other enactment;
- “trigger event”, in relation to an offence, means the commission of the offence or any event related to the commission of the offence, including any event—
  1. connected with, or which constitutes any part of, the commission of the offence, or
  2. related to the investigation of, or proceedings related to, the offence.
2
Subsection (3) applies if a person is convicted of an offence on or after the consolidation date.
3
Where—
a
the application to the offence of a repealed provision depends on the time at which a particular trigger event occurred in relation to a particular transition time, and
b
the transition time fell after the trigger event occurred,
the repealed provision has effect as if the transition time had instead fallen before the trigger event occurred.
4
Subsection (3) does not operate so far as it would increase—
a
the maximum term of imprisonment or detention, or
b
the maximum fine,
with which the offence is punishable.
5
Subsection (3) is also subject to—
a
Schedule 1 (exceptions);
b
any provision made by regulations made by the Secretary of State for the purpose of securing that subsection (3) does not affect the application of particular repealed provisions.
6
Where a repealed provision has effect in accordance with subsection (3), any related enactment also has effect in accordance with that subsection.
7
The following have effect subject to subsections (3) to (6)—
a
a commencement or transitional provision relating to the coming into force of a repealed provision or any related enactment;
b
a saving subject to which a repealed provision, or any related enactment, has previously been repealed or revoked.
8
For the purposes of this section—
a
“related enactment”, in relation to a repealed provision, means an enactment which—
i
came into force subject to the same commencement or transitional provision as the repealed provision, or
ii
has previously been repealed or revoked subject to the same saving as the repealed provision,
so far as it is necessary for the repealed provision to have full effect;
b
“repealed provision” and “related enactment” do not include a provision to the extent that it is not in force immediately before the consolidation date, except to the extent that it will come into force on or after that date by virtue of an enactment passed or made before that date;
c
a reference to the application of a repealed provision includes a reference to whether or not it applies (or applies for a particular purpose), and to the form in which it applies (or applies for a particular purpose);
d
references to a repealed provision or related enactment or to any commencement or transitional provision or saving include references to such a provision passed or made after the passing of this Act.

Pre-consolidation amendments relating to sentencing

Schedule 2 contains amendments and modifications of sentencing legislation which are designed to facilitate, or otherwise desirable in connection with, the consolidation of the whole or a substantial part of the Acts relating to sentencing (with or without other sentencing legislation).
2
The Secretary of State may by regulations make such further amendments and modifications of sentencing legislation (including Schedule 2) as in the Secretary of State’s opinion facilitate, or are otherwise desirable in connection with, the consolidation of the whole or a substantial part of the Acts relating to sentencing (with or without other sentencing legislation).
3
In exercising the power under this section, the Secretary of State may have regard in particular to the desirability of removing differences between provisions relating to—

powers of different courts to deal with offenders subject to particular sentences;
c
powers of different courts to provide for when sentences or particular requirements of sentences are to take effect.
4
Provision that may be made by regulations under this section includes, in particular, provision amending or modifying any provision of sentencing legislation which—

is subject to a relevant restriction,
so as to amend or modify that restriction.
A “relevant restriction” is one by virtue of which legislation made in exercise of the power is to come into force only for cases in which commission or conviction of an offence, or any other event, occurs after the time when the legislation is made or comes into force, or any other particular time.
