Part IV of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (“the Act”) empowers the Attorney General to refer certain criminal cases to the Court of Appeal, with the leave of that Court, where he considers that the sentences imposed were unduly lenient. By virtue of section 35(3)(b)(i) of the Act, Part IV applies to offences which are triable on indictment only. The Secretary of State may by Order, made under section 35(4) of the Act, specify further cases to which Part IV is to apply. Article 2 of this Order provides that Part IV is to apply to the cases specified in Schedule 1.
