72Assistance by offender: undertakings as to use of evidence1

If a specified prosecutor thinks that for the purposes of the investigation or prosecution of an indictable offence or an offence triable either way it is appropriate to offer any person an undertaking that information of any description will not be used against the person in any proceedings to which this section applies he may give the person a written notice under this subsection (a “restricted use undertaking”).

2

This section applies to—

any criminal proceedings;

b

proceedings under Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29).

This section applies in Northern Ireland if a defendant—

a

following a plea of guilty is either convicted of an offence in proceedings in the Crown Court or is committed to the Crown Court for sentence, and

b

has, pursuant to a written agreement made with a specified prosecutor, assisted or offered to assist the investigator or prosecutor in relation to that or any other offence.

2

In determining what sentence to pass on the defendant the court may take into account the extent and nature of the assistance given or offered.

3

If the court passes a sentence which is less than it would have passed but for the assistance given or offered, it must state in open court—

a

that it has passed a lesser sentence than it would otherwise have passed, and

b

what the greater sentence would have been.

4

Subsection (3) does not apply if the court thinks that it would not be in the public interest to disclose that the sentence has been discounted; but in such a case the court must give written notice of the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (3) to both the prosecutor and the defendant.

5

Nothing in any enactment which—

a

requires that a minimum sentence is passed in respect of any offence or an offence of any description or by reference to the circumstances of any offender (whether or not the enactment also permits the court to pass a lesser sentence in particular circumstances), or

b

in the case of a sentence which is fixed by law, requires the court to take into account certain matters for the purposes of making an order which determines or has the effect of determining the minimum period of imprisonment which the offender must serve (whether or not the enactment also permits the court to fix a lesser period in particular circumstances),

affects the power of a court to act under subsection (2).

6

If, in determining what sentence to pass on the defendant, the court takes into account the extent and nature of the assistance given or offered as mentioned in subsection (2), that does not prevent the court from also taking account of any other matter which it is entitled by virtue of any other enactment to take account of for the purposes of determining—

a

the sentence, or

b

in the case of a sentence which is fixed by law, any minimum period of imprisonment which an offender must serve.

7

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

b

a reference to imprisonment includes a reference to any other custodial sentence within the meaning of ... Article 2 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/ 3160).

9

An agreement with a specified prosecutor may provide for assistance to be given to that prosecutor or to any other prosecutor.

10

References to a specified prosecutor must be construed in accordance with section 71.

74Assistance by defendant: review of sentence1

This section applies if in Northern Ireland

a

the Crown Court has passed a sentence on a person in respect of an offence, and

b

the person falls within subsection (2).

2

A person falls within this subsection if—

a

he receives a discounted sentence in consequence of his having offered in pursuance of a written agreement to give assistance to the prosecutor or investigator of an offence but he knowingly fails to any extent to give assistance in accordance with the agreement;

b

he receives a discounted sentence in consequence of his having offered in pursuance of a written agreement to give assistance to the prosecutor or investigator of an offence and, having given the assistance in accordance with the agreement, in pursuance of another written agreement gives or offers to give further assistance;

c

he receives a sentence which is not discounted but in pursuance of a written agreement he subsequently gives or offers to give assistance to the prosecutor or investigator of an offence.

3

A specified prosecutor may at any time refer the case back to the court by which the sentence was passed if—

a

the person is still serving his sentence, and

b

the specified prosecutor thinks it is in the interests of justice to do so.

4

A case so referred must, if possible, be heard by the judge who passed the sentence to which the referral relates.

5

If the court is satisfied that a person who falls within subsection (2)(a) knowingly failed to give the assistance it may substitute for the sentence to which the referral relates such greater sentence (not exceeding that which it would have passed but for the agreement to give assistance) as it thinks appropriate.

6

In a case of a person who falls within subsection (2)(b) or (c) the court may—

a

take into account the extent and nature of the assistance given or offered;

b

substitute for the sentence to which the referral relates such lesser sentence as it thinks appropriate.

7

Any part of the sentence to which the referral relates which the person has already served must be taken into account in determining when a greater or lesser sentence imposed by subsection (5) or (6) has been served.

8

A person in respect of whom a reference is made under this section and the specified prosecutor may with the leave of the Court of Appeal appeal to the Court of Appeal against the decision of the Crown Court.

9

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

to a specified prosecutor must be construed in accordance with section 71.

a

he was convicted of an offence for which the sentence is fixed by law, and

b

he did not plead guilty to the offence for which he was sentenced.

14

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

15
