“commencement date”, in relation to any provisions of this Act and proceedings of any description, means the date on which those provisions come into force in relation to such proceedings;

“continuing proceedings” (except in paragraph 3) means proceedings instituted before the commencement date;

“existing special measures power” means any power of the court to make an order or give leave, in the exercise of its inherent jurisdiction, for the taking of measures in relation to a witness which are similar to those which could be provided for by a special measures direction.

(2)

For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a)

proceedings other than proceedings on appeal are to be taken to be instituted at the time when they would be taken to be instituted for the purposes of Part I of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 in accordance with section 15(2) of that Act; and

(b)

proceedings on appeal are to be taken to be instituted at the time when the notice of appeal is given or (as the case may be) the reference under section 9 or 11 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 is made.

(3)

Expressions used in this Schedule which are also used in Part II of this Act have the same meaning in this Schedule as in that Part.

No referral order (within the meaning of Part I) may be made in respect of any offence committed before the commencement date for section 1.

Special measures under Chapter I of Part II3(1)

A special measures direction may be given in relation to a witness in continuing proceedings unless the court has before the specified date—

(b)

exercised any existing special measures power in relation to the witness in connection with those proceedings.

(2)

The repeals made by this Act shall not affect the continued operation in relation to a witness in continuing proceedings of section 32 or 32A of the 1988 Act where before the specified date leave was given in relation to the witness in connection with those proceedings by virtue of section 32(1)(b) or section 32A, as the case may be.

(3)

Nothing in this Act affects the continued operation in relation to a witness in continuing proceedings of any order made or leave given under any existing special measures power exercised by the court before the specified date in relation to the witness in connection with those proceedings.

(4)

In this paragraph—

(a)

“continuing proceedings” means proceedings instituted before the specified date;

(b)

(2)

Nothing in this Act affects the continued operation of any leave so given in relation to any such proceedings.
