Point in time view as at 31/07/2014.
Armed Forces Act 2006, Section 83 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 04 September 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
(1)On an application made by a service policeman, a judge advocate may, if the relevant requirements are met, issue a warrant authorising a service policeman to enter and search—
(a)one or more sets of premises specified in the application; or
(b)any relevant residential premises occupied or controlled by a person specified in the application, including such sets of premises as are so specified.
(2)The relevant requirements are met (subject to subsection (3)) if the judge advocate is satisfied that each set of premises specified in the application is relevant residential premises and that there are reasonable grounds for believing—
(a)that a relevant offence has been committed;
(b)that material which is likely to be of substantial value (whether by itself or together with other material) to the investigation of the offence is—
(i)in the case of a warrant authorising entry and search of specified premises, on those premises;
(ii)in the case of a warrant authorising entry and search of any relevant residential premises occupied or controlled by a specified person, on one or more sets of such premises occupied or controlled by that person;
(c)that the material would be likely to be admissible in evidence at a trial for the offence;
(d)that it does not consist of or include items subject to legal privilege, excluded material or special procedure material; and
(e)that at least one of the conditions specified in subsection (4) applies in relation to each set of premises specified in the application.
(3)If the application is for a warrant authorising entry and search of any relevant residential premises occupied or controlled by a specified person, the judge advocate must also be satisfied—
(a)that, because of the particulars of the offence mentioned in subsection (2)(a), there are reasonable grounds for believing that in order to find the material mentioned in subsection (2)(b) it is necessary to search relevant residential premises that are occupied or controlled by the person in question and are not specified in the application; and
(b)that it is not reasonably practicable to specify in the application all the relevant residential premises that the person occupies or controls and that might need to be searched.
(4)The conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(e) are—
(a)that it is not practicable to communicate with any person entitled to grant entry to the premises;
(b)that it is practicable to communicate with a person entitled to grant entry to the premises, but it is not practicable to communicate with any person entitled to grant access to the evidence;
(c)that entry to the premises will not be granted unless a warrant is produced;
(d)in the case of service living accommodation within section 96(1)(b) or (c)—
(i)that it is not practicable to communicate with the person or (as the case may be) any of the persons for whom the accommodation is provided; or
(ii)that there is no such person with whom it is practicable to communicate who will agree to grant access to the accommodation without the production of a warrant;
(e)that the purpose of a search may be frustrated or seriously prejudiced unless a service policeman arriving at the premises can secure immediate entry to them.
(5)A warrant under this section may authorise entry to and search of premises on more than one occasion if, on the application for the warrant, the judge advocate is satisfied that it is necessary to authorise multiple entries in order to achieve the purpose for which the warrant is issued.
(6)If the warrant authorises multiple entries, the number of entries authorised may be unlimited, or limited to a maximum.
(7)A service policeman may seize and retain anything for which a search has been authorised under subsection (1).]

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
