M1S.I. 1996/617. The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1987 Fixed Penalty Order 1996 was made under the powers given to the Secretary of State by section 56(7) and 7(A) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1987 (c. 41). Section 56 was repealed by section 6 of and Schedule 5 to the Criminal Procedure (Consequential Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 40); however, the power was re-enacted in section 302(7) and (8) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995.
