(This note is not part of the Act of Adjournal)
This Act of Adjournal amends the Criminal Procedure Rules (S.I. 1996/513) ("the 1996 Rules"). It inserts a new rule and form in relation to appeals in cases involving insanity.
It also amends the form of notice of requirement to notify the police under Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 ("the 2003 Act") to include new requirements to notify details of any passports, bank accounts or credit cards held. These changes are consequent upon amendment of the 2003 Act by the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 and commencement of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Notification Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2007.
