EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes amendments to the Justice of the Peace Courts (Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway) etc. Order 2009 ("the 2009 Order").
The 2009 Order makes provision for the establishment of justice of the peace courts ("JP courts") in the Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway (and the associated disestablishment of the existing district courts). The majority of the provisions of that Order will come into force on 22nd February 2010, however, certain transitional provisions came into force in respect of the establishment of the JP courts on 23rd November 2009.
Article 8 is inserted in the 2009 Order to make provision for the transfer of property, rights and liabilities to the Scottish Ministers of the heritable property which is specified in the newly inserted Schedule 3. Plans delineating the extent of the relevant heritable property described in Schedule 3 are held by the Scottish Government Justice Directorate at St Andrew´s House, Regent Road, Edinburgh, EH1 3DG.
References in these newly inserted provisions to the "relevant date" will attract the definition given to that term in article 1 of the 2009 Order. "Relevant date" is defined there as meaning 22nd February 2010.
