Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016

Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 An Act of the Scottish Parliament to make provision about criminal justice including as to police powers and rights of suspects and as to criminal evidence, procedure and sentencing; to establish the Police Negotiating Board for Scotland; and for connected purposes. A constable may arrest a person without a warrant if the constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed or is committing an offence. In relation to an offence not punishable by imprisonment, a constable may arrest a person under subsection (1) only if the constable is satisfied that it would not be in the interests of justice to delay the arrest in order to seek a warrant for the person's arrest. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2), it would not be in the interests of justice to delay an arrest in order to seek a warrant if the constable reasonably believes that unless the person is arrested without delay the person will— continue committing the offence, or obstruct the course of justice in any way, including by— seeking to avoid arrest, or interfering with witnesses or evidence. For the avoidance of doubt, an offence is to be regarded as not punishable by imprisonment for the purpose of subsection (2) only if no person convicted of the offence can be sentenced to imprisonment in respect of it. A person may be arrested under section 1 more than once in respect of the same offence. A person may not be arrested under section 1 in respect of an offence if the person has been officially accused of committing the offence or an offence arising from the same circumstances as the offence. Where— a constable who is not in uniform arrests a person under section 1, and the person asks to see the constable's identification, the constable must show identification to the person as soon as reasonably practicable. When a constable arrests a person (or as soon afterwards as is reasonably practicable), a constable must inform the person— that the person is under arrest, of the general nature of the offence in respect of which the person is arrested (if any), of the reason for the arrest, that the person is under no obligation to say anything, other than to give the information specified in section 34(4), and of the person's right to have— intimation sent to a solicitor under section 43, and access to a solicitor under section 44. Where a person is arrested by a constable outwith a police station, a constable must take the person as quickly as is reasonably practicable to a police station. But subsection (1) need not be complied with if— either the warrant under which the person was arrested or an enactment requires that following the arrest the person be taken to a particular place (other than a police station), and the taking of the person to that place would be unnecessarily delayed by taking the person to a police station first. Subsection (1) ceases to apply, and the person must be released from police custody immediately, if— the person has been arrested in respect of an offence without a warrant, the person has not yet arrived at a police station in accordance with this section, and in the opinion of a constable there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed— the offence in respect of which the person was arrested, or an offence arising from the same circumstances as that offence. For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (1) ceases to apply if, before arriving at a police station in accordance with this section, the person is released from custody under— section 25(2), or section 28(3A) of the 1995 Act. Subsections (2) and (3) apply when— a person is in police custody having been arrested at a police station, or a person is in police custody and has been taken to a police station in accordance with section 4. The person must be informed as soon as reasonably practicable— that the person is under no obligation to say anything, other than to give the information specified in section 34(4), of any right the person has to have intimation sent and to have access to certain persons under— section 38, section 40, section 43, section 44. The person must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable with such information (verbally or in writing) as is necessary to satisfy the requirements placed on member States by Articles 3 and 4 of Directive 2012/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the right to information in criminal proceedings. There must be recorded in relation to any arrest by a constable— the time and place of arrest, either— the general nature of the offence in respect of which the person is arrested, or if the person is arrested otherwise than in respect of an offence, the reason for the arrest, if the person is taken from one place to another while in police custody (including to a police station in accordance with section 4)— the place from which, and time at which, the person is taken, and the place to which the person is taken and the time at which the person arrives there, the time at which, and the identity of the constable by whom, the person is informed of the matters mentioned in section 3, the time at which the person ceases to be in police custody. Where relevant, there must be recorded in relation to an arrest by a constable— the reason that the constable who released the person from custody under subsection (2) of section 4 formed the opinion mentioned in paragraph (c) of that subsection, the time at which, and the identity of the person by whom, the person is— informed of the matters mentioned in subsection (2) of section 5, and provided with information in accordance with subsection (3) of that section, the time at which, and the identity of the person by whom, the person is informed of the matters mentioned in section 20, the time at which the person requests that intimation be sent under— the time at which intimation is sent under— section 41, section 42, section 43. Where a person is in police custody and not officially accused of committing an offence, there must be recorded the time, place and outcome of any decision under section 7. Where a person is held in police custody by virtue of authorisation given under section 7 there must be recorded— the time at which the person is informed of the matters mentioned in section 8, the time, place and outcome of any custody review under section 13, the time at which any interview in the circumstances described in section 15(6) begins and the time at which it ends. If a constable considers whether to give authorisation under section 11 there must be recorded— whether a reasonable opportunity to make representations has been afforded in accordance with subsection (4)(a) of that section, if the opportunity referred to in paragraph (a) has not been afforded, the reason for that, the time, place and outcome of the constable's decision, and if the constable's decision is to give the authorisation— the grounds on which it is given, the time at which, and the identity of the person by whom, the person is informed and reminded of things in accordance with section 12, and the time at which the person requests that intimation be sent under section 12(3)(a) and the time at which it is sent. Where a person is held in police custody by virtue of authorisation given under section 11 there must be recorded— If a person is released from police custody on conditions under section 16, there must be recorded— details of the conditions imposed, and the identity of the constable who imposed them. If a person is charged with an offence by a constable while in police custody, there must be recorded the time at which the person is charged. Subsection (2) applies where— a person is in police custody having been arrested in respect of an offence without a warrant, and since being arrested, the person has not been charged with an offence by a constable. Authorisation to keep the person in custody must be sought as soon as reasonably practicable after the person— is arrested at a police station, or arrives at a police station, having been taken there in accordance with section 4. Authorisation may be given only by a constable who— is of the rank of sergeant or above, and has not been involved in the investigation in connection with which the person is in police custody. Authorisation may be given only if that constable is satisfied that the test in section 14 is met. If authorisation is refused, the person may continue to be held in police custody only if— a constable charges the person with an offence, or the person is detained under section 28(1A) of the 1995 Act (which allows for detention in connection with a breach of bail conditions). At the time when authorisation to keep a person in custody is given under section 7, the person must be informed of— the reason that the person is being kept in custody, and the 12 hour limit arising by virtue of section 9 and the fact that the person may be kept in custody for a further 12 hours under section 11. Subsection (2) applies when— a person has been held in police custody for a continuous period of 12 hours, beginning with the time at which authorisation was given under section 7, and during that period the person has not been charged with an offence by a constable. The person may continue to be held in police custody only if— a constable charges the person with an offence, authorisation to keep the person in custody has been given under section 11, or a person is being held in police custody by virtue of authorisation given under section 7, authorisation has been given under that section to hold the person in police custody on a previous occasion, and the offence in connection with which the authorisation mentioned in paragraph (a) has been given is the same offence or arises from the same circumstances as the offence in connection with which the authorisation mentioned in paragraph (b) was given. The 12 hour period mentioned in section 9 is reduced by the length of the period during which the person was held in police custody by virtue of the authorisation mentioned in subsection (1)(b). Subsections (5) and (6) of section 15 apply for the purpose of calculating the length of the period during which the person was held in police custody by virtue of the authorisation mentioned in subsection (1)(b). A constable may give authorisation for a person who is in police custody to be kept in custody for a continuous period of 12 hours, beginning when the 12 hour period mentioned in section 9 ends. is of, or above, the rank of— inspector, if a constable believes the person to be 18 years of age or over, chief inspector, if a constable believes the person to be under 18 years of age, and Authorisation may be given only if— the person has not been held in police custody by virtue of authorisation given under this section in connection with— the offence in connection with which the person is in police custody, or an offence arising from the same circumstances as that offence, and the constable is satisfied that— the test in section 14 will be met when the 12 hour period mentioned in section 9 ends, the offence in connection with which the person is in police custody is an indictable offence, and the investigation is being conducted diligently and expeditiously. Before deciding whether or not to give authorisation the constable must— where practicable afford a reasonable opportunity to make verbal or written representations to— the person, or if the person so chooses, the person's solicitor, and have regard to any representations made. If authorisation is given, it is deemed to be withdrawn if the person is released from police custody before the 12 hour period mentioned in section 9 ends. Subsection (7) applies when— by virtue of authorisation given under this section, a person has been held in police custody for a continuous period of 12 hours (beginning with the time at which the 12 hour period mentioned in section 9 ended), and This section applies when authorisation to keep a person in custody is given under section 11. The person must be informed— that the authorisation has been given, and of the grounds on which it has been given. The person— has the right to have the information mentioned in subsection (2) intimated to a solicitor, and must be informed of that right. The person must be reminded about any right which the person has under Chapter 5. Subsection (4) does not require that a person be reminded about a right to have intimation sent under either of the following sections if the person has exercised the right already— Information to be given under subsections (2), (3)(b) and (4) must be given to the person as soon as reasonably practicable after the authorisation is given. Where the person requests that intimation be sent under subsection (3)(a), the intimation must be sent as soon as reasonably practicable. A custody review must be carried out— when a person has been held in police custody for a continuous period of 6 hours by virtue of authorisation given under section 7, and again, if authorisation to keep the person in police custody is given under section 11, when the person has been held in custody for a continuous period of 6 hours by virtue of that authorisation. A custody review entails the consideration by a constable of whether the test in section 14 is met. A custody review must be carried out by a constable who— is of the rank of inspector or above, and If the constable is not satisfied that the test in section 14 is met, the person may continue to be held in police custody only if— For the purposes of sections 7(4), 11(3)(b) and 13(2), the test is that— there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed an offence, and keeping the person in custody is necessary and proportionate for the purposes of bringing the person before a court or otherwise dealing with the person in accordance with the law. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1)(b), in considering what is necessary and proportionate for the purpose mentioned in that subsection regard may be had to— whether the person's presence is reasonably required to enable the offence to be investigated fully, whether the person (if liberated) would be likely to interfere with witnesses or evidence, or otherwise obstruct the course of justice, the nature and seriousness of the offence. a person is in police custody having been arrested without a warrant, since being arrested, the person has not been charged with an offence by a constable, and the person is at a hospital for the purpose of receiving medical treatment. If authorisation to keep the person in custody has not been given under section 7, that section has effect as if— each reference in subsection (2) of that section to a police station were a reference to the hospital, and the words after the reference to a police station in paragraph (b) of that subsection were omitted. Where authorisation is given under section 7 when a person is at a hospital, authorisation under that section need not be sought again if, while still in custody, the person is taken to a police station in accordance with section 4. Subsections (5) and (6) apply for the purpose of calculating the 12 hours mentioned in sections 9 and 11. Except as provided for in subsection (6), no account is to be taken of any period during which a person is— at a hospital for the purpose of receiving medical treatment, or being taken as quickly as is reasonably practicable— to a hospital for the purpose of receiving medical treatment, or to a police station from a hospital to which the person was taken for the purpose of receiving medical treatment. Account is to be taken of any period during which a person is both— at a hospital, or being taken to or from one, and being interviewed by a constable in relation to an offence which the constable has reasonable grounds to suspect the person of committing. a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed a relevant offence, and the person has not been subject to a condition imposed under subsection (2) in connection with a relevant offence, or it has not been more than 28 days since the first occasion on which a condition was imposed on the person under subsection (2) in connection with a relevant offence. If releasing the person from custody, a constable may impose any condition that an appropriate constable considers necessary and proportionate for the purpose of ensuring the proper conduct of the investigation into a relevant offence (including, for example, a condition aimed at securing that the person does not interfere with witnesses or evidence). A condition under subsection (2)— may not require the person to be in a specified place at a specified time, may require the person— not to be in a specified place, or category of place, at a specified time, and to remain outwith that place, or any place falling within the specified category (if any), for a specified period. A condition imposed under subsection (2) is a liberation condition for the purposes of schedule 1. In subsection (2), “an appropriate constable” means a constable of the rank of sergeant or above. In this section, “a relevant offence” means— the offence in connection with which the authorisation under section 7 has been given, or A condition imposed on a person under section 16(2) ceases to apply— at the end of the day falling 28 days after the first occasion on which a condition was imposed on the person under section 16(2) in connection with a relevant offence, or before then, if— the condition is removed by a notice under section 18, the person is arrested in connection with a relevant offence, the person is officially accused of committing a relevant offence, or the condition is removed by the sheriff under section 19. In subsection (1), “a relevant offence” means— the offence in connection with which the condition was imposed, or A constable may by notice modify or remove a condition imposed under section 16(2). A notice under subsection (1)— is to be given in writing to the person who is subject to the condition, must specify the time from which the condition is modified or removed. A constable of the rank of inspector or above must keep under review whether or not— there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that a person who is subject to a condition imposed under section 16(2) has committed a relevant offence, and the condition imposed remains necessary and proportionate for the purpose of ensuring the proper conduct of the investigation into a relevant offence. Where the constable referred to in subsection (3) is no longer satisfied as to the matter mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, a constable must give notice to the person removing any condition imposed in connection with a relevant offence. Where the constable referred to in subsection (3) is no longer satisfied as to the matter mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection, a constable must give notice to the person— modifying the condition in question, or removing it. Where a duty to give notice to a person arises under subsection (4) or (5), the notice— is to be given in writing to the person as soon as practicable, and must specify, as the time from which the condition is modified or removed, the time at which the duty to give the notice arose. The modification or removal of a condition under subsection (1), (4) or (5) requires the authority of a constable of the rank of inspector or above. A person who is subject to a condition imposed under section 16(2) may apply to the sheriff to have the condition reviewed. Before disposing of an application under this section, the sheriff must give the procurator fiscal an opportunity to make representations. If the sheriff is not satisfied that the condition is necessary and proportionate for the purpose for which it was imposed, the sheriff may— remove the condition, or impose an alternative condition that the sheriff considers to be necessary and proportionate for that purpose. For the purposes of sections 17 and 18, a condition imposed by the sheriff under subsection (3)(b) is to be regarded as having been imposed under section 16(2). a person is in police custody having been arrested under a warrant in respect of an offence listed in subsection (3)(b), or a person— is in police custody having been arrested without a warrant, and since being arrested, the person has been charged by a constable with an offence listed in subsection (3)(b). that the person's case at, or for the purposes of, any relevant hearing ... in the course of the proceedings may be conducted only by a lawyer, that it is, therefore, in the person's interests to get the professional assistance of a solicitor, and that if the person does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of the person's case at or for the purposes of the hearing, the court will do so. For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2)— “relevant hearing” is to be construed in accordance with section 288C(1A) or (as the case may be) 288DC(4) of the 1995 Act, the list is— an offence to which section 288C of the 1995 Act applies (certain sexual offending), an offence to which section 288DC of the 1995 Act applies (domestic abuse cases). Subsection (2) applies to a person when— the person is in police custody having been arrested under a warrant granted for the purpose of having the person brought before a court in connection with an offence which the person is officially accused of committing, or the person— is in police custody having been arrested in respect of an offence without a warrant, and since being arrested, the person has been charged with an offence by a constable. The person must be brought before a court (unless released from custody under section 25)— if practicable, before the end of the first day on which the court is sitting after the day on which this subsection began to apply to the person, or as soon as practicable after that. A person is deemed to be brought before a court in accordance with subsection (2) if the person appears before it by means of a live television link (by virtue of a determination by the court that the person is to do so by such means). a person is to be brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2), and a constable believes the person is under 18 years of age. The person must (unless released from custody under section 25) be kept in a place of safety until the person can be brought before the court. The place of safety in which the person is kept must not be a police station unless an appropriate constable certifies that keeping the person in a place of safety other than a police station would be— impracticable, unsafe, or inadvisable due to the person's state of health (physical or mental). A certificate under subsection (3) must be produced to the court when the person is brought before it. In this section— “an appropriate constable” means a constable of the rank of inspector or above, “place of safety” has the meaning given in section 202(1) of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. Subsection (2) applies when a person who is under 18 years of age— is to be brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2), or is released from police custody on an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a). A parent of the person mentioned in subsection (1) (if one can be found) must be informed of the following matters— the court before which the person is to be brought, the date on which the person is to be brought before the court, the general nature of the offence which the person has been officially accused of committing, and that the parent's attendance at the court may be required under section 42 of the 1995 Act. Subsection (2) does not require any information to be given to a parent if a constable has grounds to believe that giving the parent the information mentioned in that subsection may be detrimental to the wellbeing of the person mentioned in subsection (1). “parent” includes guardian and any person who has the care of the person mentioned in subsection (1), ... The appropriate local authority must be informed of the matters mentioned in subsection (4) when— a person to whom subsection (2) applies is to be brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2), or a person to whom subsection (2) applies is released from police custody on an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a). This subsection applies to a person who is under 18 years of age. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The matters referred to in subsection (1) are— the court before which the person mentioned in paragraph (a) or (as the case may be) (b) of that subsection is to be brought, the date on which the person is to be brought before the court, and the general nature of the offence which the person has been officially accused of committing. For the purpose of subsection (1), the appropriate local authority is the local authority in whose area the court referred to in subsection (4)(a) sits. a person is in police custody having been arrested under a warrant (other than a warrant granted under section 37(1)), or A constable may— if the person gives an undertaking in accordance with section 26, release the person from custody, release the person from custody without such an undertaking, refuse to release the person from custody. Where a person is in custody as mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the person may not be released from custody under subsection (2)(b). A constable is not to be subject to any claim whatsoever by reason of having refused to release a person from custody under subsection (2)(c). A person may be released from police custody on an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a) only if the person signs the undertaking. The terms of an undertaking are that the person undertakes to— appear at a specified court at a specified time, and comply with any conditions imposed under subsection (3) while subject to the undertaking. The conditions which may be imposed under this subsection are— that the person does not— commit an offence, interfere with witnesses or evidence, or otherwise obstruct the course of justice, behave in a manner which causes, or is likely to cause, alarm or distress to witnesses, any further condition that a constable considers necessary and proportionate for the purpose of ensuring that any conditions imposed under paragraph (a) are observed. Conditions which may be imposed under subsection (3)(b) include— a condition requiring the person— to be in a specified place at a specified time, and to remain there for a specified period, For the imposition of a condition under subsection (3)(b)— if it is of the kind described in subsection (4)(a), the authority of a constable of the rank of inspector or above is required, if it is of any other kind, the authority of a constable of the rank of sergeant or above is required. The requirements imposed by an undertaking to attend at a court and comply with conditions are liberation conditions for the purposes of schedule 1. The procurator fiscal may by notice modify the terms of an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a) by— changing the court specified as the court at which the person is to appear, changing the time specified as the time at which the person is to appear at the court, removing or altering any condition imposed under section 26(3). A condition may not be altered under subsection (1)(c) so as to forbid or require something not forbidden or required by the terms of the condition when the person gave the undertaking. Notice under subsection (1) must be effected in a manner by which citation may be effected under section 141 of the 1995 Act. The procurator fiscal may by notice rescind an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a) (whether or not the person who gave it is to be prosecuted). The rescission of an undertaking by virtue of subsection (1) takes effect at the end of the day on which the notice is sent. A constable may arrest a person without a warrant if the constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person is likely to fail to comply with the terms of an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a). Where a person is arrested under subsection (4) or subsection (6) applies— the undertaking referred to in subsection (4) or (as the case may be) (6) is rescinded, and this Part applies as if the person, since being most recently arrested, has been charged with the offence in connection with which the person was in police custody when the undertaking was given. This subsection applies where— a person who is subject to an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a) is in police custody (otherwise than as a result of having been arrested under subsection (4)), and a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has failed, or (if liberated) is likely to fail, to comply with the terms of the undertaking. The references in subsections (4) and (6)(b) to the terms of the undertaking are to the terms of the undertaking subject to any modification by— notice under section 27(1), or the sheriff under section 30(3)(b). An undertaking given under section 25(2)(a) expires— at the end of the day on which the person who gave it is required by its terms to appear at a court, or if subsection (2) applies, at the end of the day on which the person who gave it is brought before a court having been arrested under the warrant mentioned in that subsection. a person fails to appear at court as required by the terms of an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a), and on account of that failure, a warrant for the person's arrest is granted. The references in subsections (1)(a) and (2)(a) to the terms of the undertaking are to the terms of the undertaking subject to any modification by notice under section 27(1). A person who is subject to an undertaking containing a condition imposed under section 26(3)(b) may apply to the sheriff to have the condition reviewed. If the sheriff is not satisfied that the condition is necessary and proportionate for the purpose for which it was imposed, the sheriff may modify the terms of the undertaking by— removing the condition, or imposing an alternative condition that the sheriff considers to be necessary and proportionate for that purpose. Subsection (2) applies to a person who— is in police custody, or is attending at a police station or other place voluntarily for the purpose of being interviewed by a constable. Not more than one hour before a constable interviews the person about an offence which the constable has reasonable grounds to suspect the person of committing, the person must be informed— of the general nature of that offence, that the person is under no obligation to say anything other than to give the information specified in section 34(4), about the right under section 32 to have a solicitor present during the interview, and if the person is in police custody, about any right which the person has under Chapter 5. A person need not be informed under subsection (2)(d) about a right to have intimation sent under either of the following sections if the person has exercised the right already— For the purpose of subsection (2), a constable is not to be regarded as interviewing a person about an offence merely by asking the person for the information specified in section 34(4). Where a person is to be interviewed by virtue of authorisation granted under section 35, before the interview begins the person must be informed of what was specified by the court under subsection (6) of that section. Subsections (2) and (3) apply to a person who— The person has the right to have a solicitor present while being interviewed by a constable about an offence which the constable has reasonable grounds to suspect the person of committing. Accordingly— unless the person consents to being interviewed without having a solicitor present, a constable must not begin to interview the person about the offence until the person's solicitor is present, and the person's solicitor must not be denied access to the person at any time while a constable is interviewing the person about the offence. Despite subsection (3)(a) a constable may, in exceptional circumstances, proceed to interview the person without a solicitor being present if it is necessary to interview the person without delay in the interests of— the investigation or the prevention of crime, or the apprehension of offenders. A decision to allow the person to be interviewed without a solicitor present by virtue of subsection (4) may be taken only by a constable who— has not been involved in investigating the offence about which the person is to be interviewed. For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), a constable is not to be regarded as interviewing a person about an offence merely by asking the person for the information specified in section 34(4). Where a person consents to being interviewed without having a solicitor present, there must be recorded— the time at which the person consented, and any reason given by the person at that time for waiving the right to have a solicitor present. Subsection (2) applies for the purpose of section 32(3)(a). A person may not consent to being interviewed without having a solicitor present if— the person is under 18 years of age the person is 18 years of age or over and, owing to mental disorder, appears to a constable to be unable to— understand sufficiently what is happening, or communicate effectively with the police. In subsection (2)(c)— “mental disorder” has the meaning given by section 328 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, the reference to the police is to any— constable, or person appointed as a member of police staff under section 26(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. Subsections (2) and (4) apply where— a person is in police custody in relation to an offence, and the person has not been officially accused of committing the offence or an offence arising from the same circumstances as the offence. A constable may put questions to the person in relation to the offence. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section is to be taken to mean that a constable cannot put questions to the person in relation to any other matter. The person is under no obligation to answer any question, other than to give the following information— the person's name, the person's address, the person's date of birth, the person's place of birth (in such detail as a constable considers necessary or expedient for the purpose of establishing the person's identity), and the person's nationality. Subsection (2) is without prejudice to any rule of law as regards the admissibility in evidence of any answer given. The court may authorise a constable to question a person about an offence after the person has been officially accused of committing the offence. The court may grant authorisation only if it is satisfied that allowing the person to be questioned about the offence is necessary in the interests of justice. In deciding whether to grant authorisation, the court must take into account— the seriousness of the offence, the extent to which the person could have been questioned earlier in relation to the information which the applicant believes may be elicited by the proposed questioning, where the person could have been questioned earlier in relation to that information, whether it could reasonably have been foreseen at that time that the information might be important to proving or disproving that the person has committed an offence. Where subsection (5) applies, the court must give the person an opportunity to make representations before deciding whether to grant authorisation. a warrant has been granted to arrest the person in respect of the offence, or the person has appeared before a court in relation to the offence. Where granting authorisation, the court— must specify the period for which questioning is authorised, and may specify such other conditions as the court considers necessary to ensure that allowing the proposed questioning is not unfair to the person. A decision of the court— to grant or refuse authorisation, or to specify, or not to specify, conditions under subsection (6)(b), is final. In this section, “the court” means— where an indictment has been served on the person in respect of the High Court, a single judge of that court, in any other case, the sheriff. An application for authorisation may be made— where section 35(5) applies, by the prosecutor, or in any other case, by a constable. In subsection (1)(a), “the prosecutor” means— where an indictment has been served on the person in respect of the High Court, Crown Counsel, or in any other case, the procurator fiscal. Where an application for authorisation is made in writing (rather than orally) it must— be made in such form as may be prescribed by act of adjournal (or as nearly as may be in such form), and state whether another application has been made for authorisation to question the person about the offence or an offence arising from the same circumstances as the offence. Authorisation ceases to apply as soon as either— the period specified under section 35(6)(a) expires, or the person's trial in respect of the offence, or an offence arising from the same circumstances as the offence, begins. For the purpose of subsection (4)(b), a trial begins— in proceedings on indictment, when the jury is sworn, in summary proceedings, when the first witness for the prosecution is sworn. “authorisation” means authorisation under section 35, “the offence” means the offence referred to in section 35(1). On granting authorisation under section 35, the court may also grant a warrant for the person's arrest if it seems to the court expedient to do so. The court must specify in a warrant granted under subsection (1) the maximum period for which the person may be detained under it. The person's detention under a warrant granted under subsection (1) must end as soon as— the period of the person's detention under the warrant becomes equal to the maximum period specified under subsection (2), the authorisation ceases to apply (see section 36(4)), or in the opinion of the constable responsible for the investigation into the offence referred to in section 35(1), there are no longer reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed— that offence, or For the purpose of subsection (3)(a), the period of the person's detention under the warrant begins when the person— For the avoidance of doubt— if the person is on bail when a warrant under subsection (1) is granted, the order admitting the person to bail is not impliedly recalled by the granting of the warrant, if the person is on bail when arrested under a warrant granted under subsection (1)— despite being in custody by virtue of the warrant the person remains on bail for the purpose of section 24(5)(b) of the 1995 Act, when the person's detention under the warrant ends, the bail order continues to apply as it did immediately before the person's arrest, if the person is subject to an undertaking given under section 25(2)(a), the person remains subject to the undertaking despite— the granting of a warrant under subsection (1), the person's arrest and detention under it. A person in police custody has the right to have intimation sent to another person of— the fact that the person is in custody, the place where the person is in custody. Intimation under subsection (1) must be sent— where a constable believes that the person in custody is under 16 years of age, regardless of whether the person requests that it be sent, in any other case, if the person requests that it be sent. The person to whom intimation is to be sent under subsection (1) is— where a constable believes that the person in custody is under 16 years of age, a parent of the person, in any other case, an adult reasonably named by the person in custody. as soon as reasonably practicable, or if subsection (5) applies, with no more delay than is necessary. This subsection applies where an appropriate constable considers some delay to be necessary in the interests of— the investigation or prevention of crime, the apprehension of offenders, or safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of the person in custody, where a constable believes that person to be under 18 years of age. In subsection (5), “an appropriate constable” means a constable who— has not been involved in the investigation in connection with which the person is in custody. The sending of intimation may be delayed by virtue of subsection (5)(c) only for so long as is necessary to— ascertain whether a local authority will arrange for someone to visit the person in custody under section 41(2) , or for a local authority to give advice by virtue of section 41(9). In this section and section 39— “adult” means person who is at least 18 years of age, “parent” includes guardian and any person who has the care of the person in custody. This section applies where a constable believes that a person in police custody is under 18 years of age. At the time of sending intimation to a person under section 38(1), that person must be asked to attend at the police station or other place where the person in custody is being held. Subsection (2) does not apply if— a constable believes that the person in custody is 16 or 17 years of age, and the person in custody requests that the person to whom intimation is to be sent under section 38(1) is not asked to attend at the place where the person in custody is being held. Subsections (5) and (6) apply where— it is not practicable or possible to contact, within a reasonable time, the person to whom intimation is to be sent by virtue of section 38(3), the person to whom intimation is sent by virtue of section 38(3), if asked to attend at the place where the person in custody is being held, claims to be unable or unwilling to attend within a reasonable time, or a local authority, acting under section 41(9)(a), has advised against sending intimation to the person to whom intimation is to be sent by virtue of section 38(3). Section 38(3) ceases to have effect. Attempts to send intimation to an appropriate person under section 38(1) must continue to be made until— an appropriate person is contacted and agrees to attend, within a reasonable time, at the police station or other place where the person in custody is being held, or if a constable believes that the person in custody is 16 or 17 years of age, the person requests that (for the time being) no further attempt to send intimation is made. In subsection (6), “an appropriate person” means— if a constable believes that the person in custody is under 16 years of age, a person the constable considers appropriate having regard to the views of the person in custody, if a constable believes that the person in custody is 16 or 17 years of age, an adult who is named by the person in custody and to whom a constable is willing to send intimation without a delay by virtue of section 38(5)(a) or (b). The reference in subsection (4)(a) to its not being possible to contact a person within a reasonable time includes the case where, by virtue of section 38(5)(a) or (b), a constable delays sending intimation to the person. Access to a person in police custody who a constable believes is under 16 years of age must be permitted to— a parent of the person, where a parent is not available, a person sent intimation under section 38 in respect of the person in custody. Access to a person in police custody who a constable believes is 16 or 17 years of age must be permitted to a person sent intimation under section 38 in respect of the person in custody where the person in custody wishes to have access to the person sent intimation. Access to a person in custody under subsection (1) or (2) need not be permitted to more than one person at the same time. In exceptional circumstances, access under subsection (1) or (2) may be refused or restricted so far as the refusal or restriction is necessary— in the interests of— the investigation or prevention of crime, or for the wellbeing of the person in custody. A decision to refuse or restrict access to a person in custody under subsection (1) or (2) may be taken only by a constable who— In this section, “parent” includes guardian and any person who has the care of the person in custody. Intimation of the fact that a person is in police custody and the place where the person is in custody must be sent to a local authority as soon as reasonably practicable if— a constable believes that person to be under 18 years of age, ... Intimation of the following facts must also be sent to a local authority— where the person in custody declines to exercise the right to have intimation sent under section 38, that fact, where the person in custody requests under section 39(3)(b) that the person to whom intimation is to be sent under section 38 is not asked to attend at the place where the person in custody is being held, that fact, where the person in custody requests under section 39(6)(b) that no further attempt to send intimation under section 38 is made, that fact, where the person to whom intimation is sent under section 38— does not access the person in custody by virtue of the person in custody not wishing that person to have access by virtue of section 40(2), or is refused access to the person in custody or has such access restricted by virtue of section 40(4), that fact. A local authority sent intimation under subsection (1) or (1A) may arrange for someone to visit the person in custody if— the local authority— has grounds to believe that its arranging someone to visit the person would best safeguard and promote the person's wellbeing .... Before undertaking to arrange someone to visit the person in custody under subsection (2), the local authority must be satisfied that anyone it arranges to visit the person in custody will be able to make the visit within a reasonable time. Where a local authority arranges for someone to visit the person in custody under subsection (2)— the person who the local authority has arranged to visit the person in custody must be permitted access to the person in custody. In exceptional circumstances, access under subsection (4)(b) may be refused or restricted so far as the refusal or restriction is necessary— A decision to refuse or restrict access to a person in custody under subsection (4)(b) may be taken only by a constable who— A local authority sent intimation under subsection (1) or (1A) may— advise a constable that the person to whom intimation is to be sent by virtue of section 38(3) should not be sent intimation if the local authority has grounds to believe that sending intimation to that person may be detrimental to the wellbeing of the person in custody, and give advice as to who might be an appropriate person to a constable considering that matter under section 39(7) (and the constable must have regard to any such advice). a person is in police custody, a constable believes that the person is 16 years of age or over, and owing to mental disorder, the person appears to the constable to be unable to— With a view to facilitating the provision of support of the sort mentioned in subsection (3) to the person as soon as reasonably practicable, the constable must ensure that intimation of the matters mentioned in subsection (4) is sent to a person who the constable considers is suitable to provide the support. That is, support to— help the person in custody to understand what is happening, and facilitate effective communication between the person and the police. Those matters are— the place where the person is in custody, and that support of the sort mentioned in subsection (3) is, in the view of the constable, required by the person.

the references to the police are to any— A person who is in police custody has the right to have intimation sent to a solicitor of any or all of the following— the place where the person is in custody, that the solicitor's professional assistance is required by the person, if the person has been officially accused of an offence— whether the person is to be released from custody, and where the person is not to be released, the court before which the person is to be brought in accordance with section 21(2) and the date on which the person is to be brought before that court. Where the person requests that intimation be sent under subsection (1), the intimation must be sent as soon as reasonably practicable. A person who is in police custody has the right to have a private consultation with a solicitor at any time. In exceptional circumstances, the person's exercise of the right under subsection (1) may be delayed so far as that is necessary in the interests of— A decision to delay the person's exercise of the right under subsection (1) may be taken only by a constable who— In subsection (1), “consultation” means consultation by such method as may be appropriate in the circumstances and includes (for example) consultation by telephone. A constable may use reasonable force— to effect an arrest, when taking a person who is in police custody to any place. Nothing in this Part affects any rule of law concerning the powers of a constable to enter any premises for any purpose. Nothing in this Part affects any rule of law by virtue of which a constable may exercise a power of the type described in subsection (2). The type of power is a power that a constable may exercise in relation to a person by reason of the person's having been arrested and charged with an offence by a constable. Powers of the type described in subsection (2) include the power to— search the person, seize any item in the person's possession, cause the person to participate in an identification procedure. A constable may exercise in relation to a person to whom subsection (2) applies any power of the type described in section 47(2) which the constable would be able to exercise by virtue of a rule of law if the person had been charged with the relevant offence by a constable. This subsection applies to a person who— has not, since being arrested, been charged with an offence by a constable. In subsection (1), “the relevant offence” means the offence in connection with which the person is in police custody. a person is liable to be arrested in respect of an offence by a constable without a warrant, and the constable is of the opinion that the person is drunk, the constable may take the person to a designated place (and do so instead of arresting the person). Nothing done under subsection (1)— makes a person liable to be held unwillingly at a designated place, or prevents a constable from arresting the person in respect of the offence referred to in that subsection. In this section, “designated place” is any place designated by the Scottish Ministers for the purpose of this section as a place suitable for the care of drunken persons. A constable must take every precaution to ensure that a person is not unreasonably or unnecessarily held in police custody. Subsection (2) applies when a constable is deciding whether to— arrest a child, hold a child in police custody, interview a child about an offence which the constable has reasonable grounds to suspect the child of committing, or charge a child with committing an offence. In taking the decision, the constable must treat the need to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of the child as a primary consideration. For the purposes of this section, a child is a person who is under 18 years of age. A child who is in police custody at a police station is, so far as practicable, to be prevented from associating with any adult who is officially accused of committing an offence other than an adult to whom subsection (2) applies. This subsection applies to an adult if a constable believes that it may be detrimental to the wellbeing of the child mentioned in subsection (1) to prevent the child and adult from associating with one another. For the purposes of this section— “child” means person who is under 18 years of age, “adult” means person who is 18 years of age or over. Subsections (2) and (3) apply if— a person is being kept in a place of safety in accordance with section 22(2) when it is decided not to prosecute the person for any relevant offence, and a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has committed a relevant offence. The Principal Reporter must be informed, as soon as reasonably practicable, that the person is being kept in a place of safety under subsection (3). The person must be kept in a place of safety under this subsection until the Principal Reporter makes a direction under section 65(2) of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. An offence is a “relevant offence” for the purpose of subsection (1) if— it is the offence with which the person was officially accused, leading to the person being kept in the place of safety in accordance with section 22(2), or it is an offence arising from the same circumstances as the offence mentioned in paragraph (a). In this section, “place of safety” has the meaning given in section 202(1) of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. A constable has no power to arrest a person without a warrant in respect of an offence that has been or is being committed other than— the power of arrest conferred by section 1, the power of arrest conferred by section 41(1) of the Terrorism Act 2000. Any rule of law that requires a constable to charge a person with an offence in particular circumstances is abolished. Schedule 2 contains repeals and other provisions consequential on this Part. The Lord Advocate must issue a code of practice on— the questioning, and recording of questioning, of persons suspected of committing offences, and the conduct of identification procedures involving such persons. The Lord Advocate— must keep the code of practice issued under subsection (1) under review, may from time to time revise the code of practice. The code of practice is to apply to the functions exercisable by or on behalf of— the Police Service of Scotland, such other bodies as are specified in the code (being bodies responsible for reporting offences to the procurator fiscal). Before issuing the code of practice, the Lord Advocate must consult publicly on a draft of the code. When preparing a draft of the code of practice for public consultation, the Lord Advocate must consult— the Lord Justice General, the Faculty of Advocates, the Law Society of Scotland, the Scottish Police Authority, the chief constable of the Police Service of Scotland, the Scottish Human Rights Commission, the Commissioner for Children and Young People in Scotland, ... any body which the Lord Advocate intends to specify in the code under subsection (3)(b) and (where relevant) the Secretary of State, and such other persons as the Lord Advocate considers appropriate. The Lord Advocate must lay before the Scottish Parliament a copy of the code of practice issued under this section. A court or tribunal in civil or criminal proceedings must take the code of practice into account when determining any question arising in the proceedings to which the code is relevant. Breach of the code of practice does not of itself give rise to grounds for any legal claim whatsoever. Subsections (3) to (8) apply to a revised code of practice under subsection (2)(b) as they apply to the code of practice issued under subsection (1). In a case where— a constable arrests a person without a warrant, and the arrest is not in respect of an offence, this Part applies subject to the modifications set out in section 57C. For the avoidance of doubt, where it is stated (in whatever terms) that a provision applies in the case of a person arrested without a warrant only if the arrest is in respect of an offence, subsection (1) does not cause that provision to apply in the case of a person who has been arrested otherwise than in respect of an offence. For the avoidance of doubt, the powers of arrest conferred by the following enactments are (for the purposes of this Part) powers to arrest otherwise than in respect of an offence— sections 6D and 7(5A) of the Road Traffic Act 1988; section 40 of the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989; sections 19(6), 19AA(12) and 28(1) of the 1995 Act; section 4(1) of the Protection from Abuse (Scotland) Act 2001; sections 5 and 74A of the Extradition Act 2003; section 28 of the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007. In a case where a person is arrested by a constable under a relevant warrant, this Part applies subject to the modifications set out in section 57C. For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (1) does not cause section 21(2) to apply in the case of a person arrested under a relevant warrant. In this section, “relevant warrant” means any warrant other than one granted for the purpose of having a person brought before a court in connection with an offence which the person is officially accused of committing. The modifications referred to in sections 57A(1) and 57B(1) are as follows. Chapter 3 applies as though for the words “brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2)” (in each place where they occur) there were substituted “brought before a court in accordance with an enactment, rule of law or a term of the warrant under which the person was arrested”. Section 23(2) applies as though— paragraph (c) read “the reason that the person is to be brought before the court,”, and paragraph (d) were omitted. Section 24 applies as though- in subsection (3)(c), for the words “officially accused” there were substituted “informed that the person is to be brought before a court”, and subsection (4)(c) read “the reason that the person is to be brought before the court.”. Section 43(1) applies as though for paragraph (d) there were substituted— if there is a requirement to bring the person before a court in accordance with an enactment, rule of law or a term of the warrant under which the person was arrested— where the person is not to be released, the court before which the person is to be brought in accordance with the requirement and the date on which the person is to be brought before that court. In a case where a person is arrested under an extradition arrest power (within the meaning of section 174(2) of the Extradition Act 2003), this Part applies subject to the following further modifications. The following do not apply— sections 3 and 4, sections 25 to 30, section 50. In section 5— subsection (1)(b) is to be read as if the words “in accordance with section 4” were omitted, subsection (2)(a) is to be read as if the words “other than to give the information specified in section 34(4)” were omitted, and subsection (3) is to be read as if the words “of Articles 3 and 4” were omitted. Section 6 is to be read as if— in subsection (1)(c) the words “in accordance with section 4” were omitted, subsection (1)(d) were omitted, subsection (2)(a) were omitted, subsection (2)(c) were omitted, and subsections (3) to (8) were omitted. Section 23 is to be read as if— subsection (1)(b) were omitted, subsection (2)(d) were omitted. Section 24 is to be read as if subsection (1)(b) were omitted. Section 48 is to be read as if— for subsection (2) there were substituted— This subsection applies to a person who is in police custody having been arrested under an extradition arrest power (within the meaning of section 174(2) of the Extradition Act 2003). for subsection (3) there were substituted— In subsection (1), “the relevant offence” means the offence that would have been committed were the act constituting the relevant offence (within the meaning of section 164(3) of the Extradition Act 2003) done in Scotland. References in this Part to an offence do not include a service offence. Nothing in this Part applies in relation to a person who is arrested in respect of a service offence. This section is subject to Schedule 4 to the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2018 (S.I. 2018/46). In this section, “service offence” has the meaning given by section 50(2) of the Armed Forces Act 2006. Nothing in this Part applies in relation to a person who is arrested under section 41(1) or 43B(1) of the Terrorism Act 2000. Subsection (1) is subject to paragraph 18 of Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations modify this Part to provide that some or all of it— applies in relation to persons to whom it would otherwise not apply because of— section 58, or section 59, does not apply in relation to persons arrested otherwise than under section 1. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make such modifications to this Part as seem to them necessary or expedient in relation to its application to persons mentioned in subsection (1). Regulations under this section may make different provision for different purposes. Regulations under this section are subject to the affirmative procedure. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations— amend subsections (2)(c) and (6) of section 33, amend subsections (1)(c), (3) and (5) of section 42, specify descriptions of persons who may for the purposes of subsection (2) of section 42 be considered suitable to provide support of the sort mentioned in subsection (3) of that section (including as to training, qualifications and experience). Regulations under subsection (1) are subject to the affirmative procedure. In this Part, “constable” has the meaning given by section 99(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. For the purposes of this Part, a person is officially accused of committing an offence if— a constable charges the person with the offence, or the prosecutor initiates proceedings against the person in respect of the offence. For the purposes of this Part, a person is in police custody from the time the person is arrested by a constable until any one of the events mentioned in subsection (2) occurs. The events are— the person is released from custody, the person is brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2), the person is brought before a court under section 28(2) or (3) of the 1995 Act, the person is brought before a court in accordance with— any other enactment or rule of law which requires that a person in custody be brought before a court, or a term of the warrant under which the person was arrested, the person is transferred in accordance with the law into the custody of a person who is neither— a constable, nor a member of police staff appointed under section 26(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, the Principal Reporter makes a direction under section 65(2)(b) of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 that the person continue to be kept in a place of safety. A person who is at a police station in the custody of a prisoner custody officer is not to be regarded as having been transferred into the custody of that officer for the purposes of subsection (2)(cb). In subsection (3), “prisoner custody officer” has the meaning given in section 114(1) of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. This section applies in relation to a person who is not in police custody. It is unlawful for a constable to search the person otherwise than— in accordance with a power of search conferred in express terms by an enactment, or under the authority of a warrant expressly conferring a power of search. A person who is not in police custody may be searched by a constable while the person is to be, or is being, taken to or from any place— by virtue of any enactment, warrant or court order requiring or permitting the constable to do so, or in circumstances in which the constable believes that it is necessary to do so with respect to the care or protection of the person. A search under this section is to be carried out for the purpose of ensuring that the person is not in, or does not remain in, possession of any item or substance that could cause harm to the person or someone else. Anything seized by a constable in the course of a search carried out under this section may be retained by the constable. A person who is not in police custody may be searched by a constable if— is seeking to enter, or has entered, relevant premises, or is seeking to attend, or is attending, a relevant event, and the further criteria are met. Premises are or an event is relevant if— the premises may be entered, or the event may be attended, by members of the public (including where dependent on possession of a ticket or on payment of a charge), and the entry or the attendance is controlled, at the time of the entry or the attendance, by or on behalf of the occupier of the premises or the organiser of the event. The further criteria to be met are that— the entry or the attendance is subject to a condition, imposed by the occupier of the premises or the organiser of the event, that the person consents to being searched, and the person informs the constable that the person consents to being searched by the constable. A search under this section is to be carried out for the purpose of ensuring the health, safety or security of people on the premises or at the event. Subsection (2) applies when a constable is deciding whether to search a child who is not in police custody. The Police Service of Scotland must ensure that, as soon as practicable after the end of each reporting year, information is published on how many times during the reporting year a search was carried out by a constable— of a person not in police custody, and otherwise than under the authority of a warrant expressly conferring a power of search. So far as practicable, the information is to disclose (in addition)— how many persons were searched on two or more occasions, the age and gender, and the ethnic and national origin, of the persons searched, the proportion of searches that resulted in— something being seized by a constable, a case being reported to the procurator fiscal, the number of complaints made to the Police Service of Scotland about the carrying out of searches (or the manner in which they were carried out). In this section, “reporting year” means a yearly period ending on 31 March. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations amend section 61 (confiscation of alcohol from persons under 18) of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 so as to confer on a constable a power, exercisable in addition to the power in subsection (1) or (2) of that section— to search a person for alcoholic liquor, to dispose of anything found in the person's possession that the constable believes to be such liquor. Prior to laying before the Scottish Parliament a draft of an instrument containing regulations under this section, the Scottish Ministers must— consult publicly on the regulations that they are proposing to make, send a copy of the proposed regulations to— the chief constable of the British Transport Police Force, the chief constable of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, the chief constable of the Ministry of Defence Police, the Commissioner for Children and Young People in Scotland, and such other persons as the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate. When laying before the Scottish Parliament a draft of an instrument containing regulations under this section, the Scottish Ministers must also so lay a statement— giving reasons for wishing to make the regulations as currently framed (and confirming whether the regulations will amend the relevant enactment in the same way as shown in the proposed regulations), summarising— the responses received by them to the public consultation on the proposed regulations, the representations made to them by the persons to whom a copy of the proposed regulations was sent. The day appointed for the coming into force of sections 65 and 66 is to be the same as the day from which a code of practice required by section 73(1) has effect by virtue of the first regulations made under section 77. If no regulations under section 70 are made before the end of the 2 years beginning with the day from which a code of practice required by section 73(1) has effect by virtue of the first regulations made under section 77, section 70 is to be regarded as repealed at the end of that period. In this Chapter— “constable” has the meaning given by section 99(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, “police custody” has the same meaning as given for the purposes of Part 1 (see section 64). The Scottish Ministers must make a code of practice about the carrying out of a search of a person who is not in police custody. A code of practice must set out (in particular)— the circumstances in which a search of such a person may be carried out, the procedure to be followed in carrying out such a search, in relation to such a search— the record to be kept, the right of someone to receive a copy of the record. A code of practice is to apply to the functions exercisable by a constable. In this Chapter, a reference to a code of practice means one required by subsection (1) (but see also section 74(5)). The Scottish Ministers may revise a code of practice in light of a review conducted under subsection (2). The Scottish Ministers must conduct a review of a code of practice as follows— a review is to begin no later than 2 years after the code comes into effect, subsequently, a review is to begin no later than 4 years after— if the code is revised in light of the previous review under this subsection, the coming into effect of the revised code, or otherwise, the completion of the previous review under this subsection. So far as practicable, a review conducted under subsection (2) must be completed within 6 months of the day on which the review begins. In deciding when to conduct a review in accordance with subsection (2), the Scottish Ministers must have regard to representations put to them on the matter by— the chief constable of the Police Service of Scotland, ... Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary in Scotland. the British Transport Police Authority, the Civil Nuclear Police Authority, the chief constable of the Ministry of Defence Police, or the Secretary of State. For the purposes of— section 73(3) and this section (except subsection (2)(a)), and sections 75, 76 (except subsection (3)) and 77 (except subsection (3)), a reference to a code of practice includes a revised code as allowed by subsection (1). A court or tribunal in civil or criminal proceedings must take a code of practice into account when determining any question arising in the proceedings to which the code is relevant. Breach of a code of practice does not of itself give rise to grounds for any legal claim whatsoever. Prior to making a code of practice, the Scottish Ministers must consult publicly on a draft of the code. When preparing a draft of a code of practice for public consultation, the Scottish Ministers must consult— the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, the Director of Border Revenue, the National Crime Agency, for each of the persons mentioned in paragraphs (ea) to (eh), the Secretary ofState. the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner, Subsection (1) or (2) is complied with in relation to a code of practice having (or to have) effect for the first time even if the consultation has been initiated before the day on which this section comes into force. A code of practice has no effect until the day appointed for the code by regulations made by the Scottish Ministers. When laying before the Scottish Parliament a draft of an instrument containing regulations bringing a code of practice into effect, the Scottish Ministers must also so lay a copy of the code. No later than at the end of the 12 months beginning with the day on which this section comes into force, there must be so laid a draft of an instrument containing regulations bringing a code of practice into effect. In section 35 (judicial examination) of the 1995 Act, after subsection (6) there is inserted— In proceedings before the sheriff in examination or further examination, the accused is not to be given an opportunity to make a declaration in respect of any charge.

It is competent to amend a complaint to include an additional charge of an offence under sub-paragraph (1) at any time before the trial of a person in summary proceedings for— the original offence, or an offence arising from the same circumstances as the original offence. In sub-paragraph (3), “the original offence” is the offence in connection with which— an investigative liberation condition was imposed, or an undertaking was given. A person who commits an offence under paragraph 1(1) is liable on summary conviction to— a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale, or imprisonment for a period— where conviction is in the justice of the peace court, not exceeding 60 days, where conviction is in the sheriff court, not exceeding 12 months. A penalty under sub-paragraph (1) may be imposed in addition to any other penalty which it is competent for the court to impose, even if the total of penalties imposed exceeds the maximum penalty which it is competent to impose in respect of the original offence. The reference in sub-paragraph (2) to a penalty being imposed in addition to another penalty means, in the case of sentences of imprisonment or detention— where the sentences are imposed at the same time (whether or not in relation to the same complaint), framing the sentences so that they have effect consecutively, where the sentences are imposed at different times, framing the sentence imposed later so that (if the earlier sentence has not been served) the later sentence has effect consecutive to the earlier sentence. Sub-paragraph (3)(b) is subject to section 204A (restriction on consecutive sentences for released prisoners) of the 1995 Act. Where a person is to be sentenced in respect of an offence under paragraph 1(1), the court may remit the person for sentence in respect of it to any court which is considering the original offence. In sub-paragraphs (2) and (5), “the original offence” is the offence in connection with which— the investigative liberation condition was imposed, or the undertaking was given. This paragraph applies— where (and to the extent that) a person breaches a liberation condition by reason of committing an offence (“offence O”), but only if the fact that offence O was committed while the person was subject to the liberation condition is specified in the complaint or indictment. In determining the penalty for offence O, the court must have regard— to the fact that offence O was committed in breach of a liberation condition, if the breach is by reason of the person's failure to comply with the terms of an investigative liberation condition, to the matters mentioned in paragraph 4(1), if the breach is by reason of the person's failure to comply with the terms of an undertaking other than the requirement to appear at court, to the matters mentioned in paragraph 5(1). Where the maximum penalty in respect of offence O is specified by (or by virtue of) an enactment, the maximum penalty is increased— where it is a fine, by the amount equivalent to level 3 on the standard scale, where it is a period of imprisonment— as respects conviction in the justice of the peace court, by 60 days, as respects conviction in the sheriff court or the High Court, by 6 months. The maximum penalty is increased by sub-paragraph (3) even if the penalty as so increased exceeds the penalty which it would otherwise be competent for the court to impose. In imposing a penalty in respect of offence O, the court must state— where the penalty is different from that which the court would have imposed had sub-paragraph (2) not applied, the extent of and the reasons for that difference, otherwise, the reasons for there being no such difference. For the purpose of paragraph 3(2)(b), the matters are— the number of offences in connection with which the person was subject to investigative liberation conditions when offence O was committed, any previous conviction the person has for an offence under paragraph 1(1)(a), the extent to which the sentence or disposal in respect of any previous conviction differed, by virtue of paragraph 3(2), from that which the court would have imposed but for that paragraph. In sub-paragraph (1)— in paragraph (b), the reference to any previous conviction includes any previous conviction by a court in England and Wales, Northern Ireland or a member State of the European Union (other than the United Kingdom) for an offence that is equivalent to an offence under paragraph 1(1)(a), in paragraph (c), the references to paragraph 3(2) are to be read, in relation to a previous conviction by a court referred to in paragraph (a) of this sub-paragraph, as references to any provision that is equivalent to paragraph 3(2). Any issue of equivalence arising under sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b) is for the court to determine. For the purpose of paragraph 3(2)(c), the matters are— the number of undertakings to which the person was subject when offence O was committed, any previous conviction the person has for an offence under paragraph 1(1)(c), in paragraph (b), the reference to any previous conviction includes any previous conviction by a court in England and Wales, Northern Ireland or a member State of the European Union (other than the United Kingdom) for an offence that is equivalent to an offence under paragraph 1(1)(c), In any proceedings in relation to an offence under paragraph 1(1), the facts mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) are to be held as admitted unless challenged by preliminary objection before the person's plea is recorded. The facts are— that the person breached an undertaking by reason of failing to appear at court as required by the terms of the undertaking, that the person was subject to a particular— investigative liberation condition, or condition under the terms of an undertaking. In proceedings to which sub-paragraph (4) applies— something in writing, purporting to impose investigative liberation conditions and bearing to be signed by a constable, is sufficient evidence of the terms of the investigative liberation conditions imposed under section 16(2), something in writing, purporting to be an undertaking and bearing to be signed by the person said to have given it, is sufficient evidence of the terms of the undertaking at the time that it was given, a document purporting to be a notice (or a copy of a notice) under section 18, 27 or 28, is sufficient evidence of the terms of the notice. This sub-paragraph applies to proceedings— in relation to an offence under paragraph 1(1), or in which the fact mentioned in paragraph 3(1)(b) is specified in the complaint or indictment. In proceedings in which the fact mentioned in paragraph 3(1)(b) is specified in the complaint or indictment, that fact is to be held as admitted unless challenged— in summary proceedings, by preliminary objection before the person's plea is recorded, or in the case of proceedings on indictment, by giving notice of a preliminary objection in accordance with section 71(2) or 72(6)(b)(i) of the 1995 Act.
