This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

10(1)The Criminal Justice Act 1988 has effect as if section 32 (evidence given by persons abroad through television links) were omitted.

(2)But section 32 continues to have effect for the purposes of—

(a)paragraph 8 of Schedule 13 to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (direction for section 32 to have effect in relation to Service Courts); and

(b)section 29(1) of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (hearing witnesses abroad through television links).

(3)Accordingly the modification in sub-paragraph (1) does not—

(a)affect any order made under—

(i)paragraph 8 of Schedule 13 to the 1988 Act, or

(ii)section 29(1) of the 2003 Act,

which has effect immediately before the time when that modification comes into effect; or

(b)prevent the power under—

(i)paragraph 8 of Schedule 13 to the 1988 Act, or

(ii)section 29(1) of the 2003 Act,

from being exercised after that time.
