21 January 2008
The Criminal Procedure Rule Committee has made new rules about case management; a new procedure for applying in criminal cases for an anti-social behaviour order or other civil behaviour order; and new rules about appeals or references to the House of Lords.
The rules about proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 have been amended to take account of provisions in the Serious Crime Act 2007.
The new rules will come into force in April 2008.
The Statutory Instrument, The Criminal Procedure (Amendment No. 3) Rules 2007, was laid in Parliament on 15 January 2008. This is the fifth amendment of the Criminal Procedure Rules 2005.
