<dc:description>These Rules prescribe the procedure to be followed in court-martial trials under the Naval Discipline Act 1957 (c. 53). They accord in general with procedures in the Crown Court. These Rules replace and revoke the Naval Courts-Martial General Orders (Royal Navy) 1991 (S.I. 1991/2737) and take account of changes in the law and procedure since then, in particular, to give effect to the changes in the way arrangements are made for court-martial trials made by the Armed Forces Act 1996 (c. 46).</dc:description>
