EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Football (Disorder) Act 2000 amended the Football Spectators Act 1989 by, inter alia, adding sections 14B, 21A and 21B.
Section 14B provides a procedure for the imposition of football banning orders after an application by complaint, i.e. by way of a civil procedure.
Section 21A provides power in some circumstances for the police to detain persons with a view to deciding whether to issue a notice under section 21B. Section 21B provides for the issue of a notice requiring attendance at a magistrates' court for consideration of the making of a banning order and prohibiting the leaving of England and Wales in the meantime. That section also contains power to order the surrender of the passport of the person concerned.
The powers were commenced for an initial period of one year on 28th August 2000. This Order provides that applications under section 14B can continue to be made and the powers under sections 21A and 21B can continue to be exercised for a further year from 28th August 2001.
