Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order is the twelfth commencement order made under the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c. 22).

Section 18 amends Part 4 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 (‘the 2009 Act’) to provide for applications for gang-related injunctions for 14 to 17 year olds to be heard in the youth court, sitting in a civil capacity, rather than in the county court (or High Court). Schedule 12 makes consequential and related amendments to the 2009 Act.

Sections 46 and 47 make provision to enable property that is subject to a restraint order in accordance with Part 2 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29) to be used to make a legal aid payment. A legal aid payment is a payment that a person is obliged to make under the relevant legal aid legislation in relation to legal services provided to that person.

Article 2 commences the regulation-making powers in sections 46 and 47 on the day after the day this order is made, to enable regulations under those sections to be made. In accordance with article 3, the other provisions commenced by this Order come into force on 1st June 2015.
