Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission is a new statutory body corporate that is established under Part XA of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995. The Commission will consider convictions, sentences and findings made in solemn proceedings with a view to referring a case to the High Court if they believe that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred and that it is in the interests of justice that a reference should be made. The Commission will begin to exercise their statutory powers to review cases on 1st April 1999 by virtue of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 5 and Transitional Provision and Savings) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/652).
This Order extends the Commission’s remit to include convictions, sentences and findings in summary proceedings from 1st April 1999 and amends section 194B(1) of the 1995 Act accordingly.
