Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2016

Introduction

1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 which received Royal Assent on 12 May 2016. They have been prepared by the Department of Justice in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Assembly.

2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section or Schedule does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
