Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

(a)charged with the offence in question, or

(b)released without charge.

(3)A person released without charge under subsection (2)(b) must be—

(a)released on bail if—

(i)the release is to enable a decision to be made as to whether the offender should be charged with the offence, and

(ii)the pre-conditions for bail are satisfied, or

(b)in any other case, released without bail (with or without any variation in the conditions attached to the caution).

(4)Subsection (2) also applies in the case of—
