(This note is not part of the Byelaws)
Part II of the Military Lands Act 1892 (c.43) (“the 1892 Act”) provides for the making of byelaws for regulating the use of land held for military purposes and for securing the safety of the public against danger arising from that use.
These byelaws regulate the area of land known as the Thetford Range in Norfolk, East Anglia (referred to as the Range Area in these byelaws).
Byelaw 5 provides that there is no public access to the Range Area at any time. The Range Area is leased and it is a condition of that lease that no rights of access are granted to the public. This byelaw does not affect any rights of access reserved to the owner of the Range Area.
Byelaw 7 provides that it is an offence to contravene byelaw 5.
The enforcement powers of constables and authorised officers are set out in section 17(2) of the 1892 Act. Constables are no longer able to exercise the power of arrest set out in that section but are able instead to use the powers of arrest set out in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c.60).
By virtue of section 17(2) of the 1892 Act, any person who commits an offence against any byelaw made under the Act is liable on conviction before a court of summary jurisdiction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. At the time of printing the maximum fine payable is five hundred pounds (£500).
