EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify the expiry dates for certain temporary justice measures which are contained in the Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Act 2022 (“ the 2022 Act”).
Regulation 2 modifies the expiry date in section 52(1) of the 2022 Act so that it reads “30 November 2025” rather than “30 November 2024”. The effect of this regulation is that all of the temporary justice measures which remain in force after 29 November 2023 will not expire at the end of 30 November 2024 but instead will be extended for 12 months, expiring at the end of 30 November 2025.
