King's Printer of Acts of Parliament

DEFENCE

These Regulations bring sections 10 and 11 of the Armed Forces Act 2016 (c. 21) partially into force on 17th April 2024 to enable subordinate legislation to be made in connection with those sections before they come fully into force. Sections 10 and 11 amend the Armed Forces Act 2006 (c. 52) and provide for a process for the Court Martial to review a sentence imposed on an offender where that offender has provided assistance to the Director of Service Prosecutions (“DSP”) in the course of an investigation, or where that offender has failed to provide assistance to the DSP after having received a discounted sentence in consequence of having agreed to provide such assistance. Each of these sections provides a power to make regulations for a process of appeals to the Court Martial Appeal Court.
