(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Bail (Amendment) Act 1993 (Prescription of Prosecuting Authorities) Order 1994 which prescribes prosecuting authorities for the purposes of section 1 of the Bail (Amendment) Act 1993. That section provides that in the case of certain defendants prosecuted by or on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions or a prescribed prosecuting authority an appeal may be made to a judge of the Crown Court against the granting of bail by a magistrates' court. This Order substitutes the Director of Revenue and Customs Prosecutions for the Commissioners of Customs and Excise and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue as a consequence of section 34 of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005. Any person designated under section 37(1) of that Act may exercise any function of the Director.
