DEFENCE

This Order commences, for remaining purposes, section 61(2) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (c. 23) (“the 1999 Act”), which provides that Chapter 4 of Part 2 of that Act shall have effect for the purposes of proceedings before a service court subject to any modifications which the Secretary of State may by order specify. Chapter 4 contains provisions allowing reporting restrictions to be imposed in certain proceedings involving vulnerable persons. Section 61(2) of the 1999 Act is already in force for the purpose only of the exercise of any power to make an order under it. Modifications to Chapter 4 for courts-martial and Standing Civilian Courts are contained, inter alia, in the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (Application to Courts-Martial) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/2886) and the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (Application to Standing Civilian Courts) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/2888) (“the 2006 Orders”).
