The amendments made by section 25 of the Victims and Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2014 do not apply to offences committed prior to the day appointed under article 2.

For the purposes of paragraph (1), where an offence is found to have been committed over a period of 2 or more days, or at some time during a period of 2 or more days, it is to be taken to have been committed on the first of those days.
