Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 1st April 1997, prescribe modifications to sections 9, 10 and 11 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 (c. 80) in their application to courts-martial.
Section 9 deals with the admissibility of written statements, section 10 with proof by formal admission and section 12 with restrictions on adducing evidence in support of an alibi. The modifications reflect differences in terminology between civilian courts and courts-martial.
