EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Reviews of Sentencing) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/1116) (“the 2006 Order”).
Schedule 1 to the 2006 Order describes cases to which Part 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) is to apply. That Part allows the Attorney General, with leave from the Court of Appeal, to refer certain cases to the Court of Appeal where he considers that a sentence imposed in the Crown Court in that case was unduly lenient.
This Order adds either way offences which trigger the terrorism notification requirements in Part 4 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (c. 28) to Schedule 1 to the 2006 Order.
No impact assessment has been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
