This Order amends the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Reviews of Sentencing) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/1116) (“the 2006 Order”).
Part 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) (“the 1988 Act”) empowers the Attorney General, with leave, to refer a case to the Court of Appeal where the Attorney General considers that the sentence in that case was unduly lenient.
Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the 2006 Order sets out a list of offences, the sentences for which are capable of being referred to the Court of Appeal under Part 4 of the 1988 Act. This Order adds the offences of holding a person in slavery or servitude and requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour under section 71 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25) to that list.
This Order also amends paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the 2006 Order. This amendment ensures that the power to refer a case under Part 4 of the 1988 Act applies also to attempts, incitement and encouraging or assisting in relation to the section 71 offences.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
