(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations, which come into force on 1st April 1997, revoke the Courts-Martial and Standing Civilian Courts (Additional Powers on Trial of Civilians) Regulations 1977 (S.I. 1977/87) and the subsequent amending regulations, which were tri-service in application. These regulations, which principally affect only the prosecution of civilians under the Army Act 1955 and the Air Force Act 1955 (the 1955 Acts), make provision for matters which are supplementary and incidental to the additional powers available under Schedule 5A to the 1955 Acts. Those Schedules permit the court to exercise additional powers on sentence if a civilian is convicted under either of the 1955 Acts by a court-martial or by a Standing Civilian Court established under the Armed Forces Act 1976 (the 1976 Act).
The Regulations substantially reenact the 1977 regulations, but take into account the changes made to the 1955 Acts and the 1976 Act by the Armed Forces Act 1996.
Part II and Schedule 1 relate to community supervision orders, including the provision of supervisors for such orders and requirements which may be imposed by such an order.
Part III requires the forms set out in Schedule 2 to be used where the court makes an order under its additional powers and provides on whom copies of the orders must be served.
