The High Court shall sit at such times and places as the Lord Justice General, whom failing the Lord Justice Clerk, may, after consultation with the Lord Advocate, determine. Without prejudice to subsection (1) above, the High Court shall hold such additional sittings as the Lord Advocate may require. Where an accused has been cited to , or otherwise required to attend, a diet to be held at any sitting of the High Court, the prosecutor may, at any time before the commencement of the diet or, in the case of a trial diet, the trial , apply to the Court to transfer the case to a diet to be held at a sitting of the Court in another place ; and a single judge of the High Court may— after giving the accused or his counsel an opportunity to be heard; or on the joint application of all parties, make an order for the transfer of the case. The judge may proceed under subsection (3) above on a joint application of the parties without hearing the parties and, accordingly, he may dispense with any hearing previously appointed for the purpose of considering the application. Where no diets have been appointed to be held at a sitting of the High Court or if it is no longer expedient that a sitting should take place, it shall not be necessary for the sitting to take place. If in any case a diet remains appointed to be held at a sitting which does not take place in pursuance of subsection (4) above, subsection (3) above shall apply in relation to the transfer of any other such case to another sitting. For the purposes of subsection (3) above— a diet shall be taken to commence when it is called; and a trial shall be taken to commence when the oath is administered to the jury. The jurisdiction and powers of all courts of solemn jurisdiction, except so far as altered or modified by any enactment passed after the commencement of this Act, shall remain as at the commencement of this Act. Any crime or offence which is triable on indictment may be tried by the High Court sitting at any place in Scotland. The sheriff shall, without prejudice to any other or wider power conferred by statute, not be entitled, on the conviction on indictment of an accused, to pass a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding five years. Subject to subsection (5) below, where under any enactment passed or made before 1st January 1988 (the date of commencement of section 58 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1987) an offence is punishable on conviction on indictment by imprisonment for a term exceeding two years but the enactment either expressly or impliedly restricts the power of the sheriff to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding two years, it shall be competent for the sheriff to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding two but not exceeding five years. Subject to subsection (5) below, where under any enactment passed or made after 1st January 1988 but before the commencement of section 13 of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 (increase in sentencing powers of sheriff courts) an offence is punishable on conviction on indictment for a term exceeding three years but the enactment either expressly or impliedly restricts the power of the sheriff to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding three years, it shall be competent for the sheriff to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding three but not exceeding five years. Nothing in subsection (4) above shall authorise the imposition by the sheriff of a sentence in excess of the sentence specified by the enactment as the maximum sentence which may be imposed on conviction of the offence.

Where an offence is alleged to have been committed in one district in a sheriffdom, it shall be competent to try that offence in a sheriff court in any other district in that sheriffdom. It shall not be competent for the sheriff to try any crime committed on the seas which it would not be competent for him to try if the crime had been committed on land. The sheriff shall have a concurrent jurisdiction with every other court of summary jurisdiction in relation to all offences competent for trial in such courts. The sheriff, sitting as a court of summary jurisdiction, shall continue to have all the jurisdiction and powers exercisable by him at the commencement of this Act. The sheriff shall, without prejudice to any other or wider powers conferred by statute, have power on convicting any person of a common law offence— to impose a fine not exceeding the prescribed sum; to ordain the accused to find caution for good behaviour for any period not exceeding 12 months to an amount not exceeding the prescribed sum either in lieu of or in addition to a fine or in addition to imprisonment; failing payment of such fine, or on failure to find such caution, to award imprisonment in accordance with section 219 of this Act; to impose imprisonment, for any period not exceeding 12 months. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It shall be competent to prosecute summarily in the sheriff court the following offences— uttering a forged document; wilful fire-raising; robbery; and assault with intent to rob. A calling of criminal proceedings in the sheriff court to which subsection (2) or (3) applies may be dealt with— in any sheriff court in Scotland, and by a sheriff of any sheriffdom. This subsection applies to a calling of criminal proceedings in which the person who is the subject of the proceedings is appearing from custody— having been arrested by a constable in connection with the matter to which the proceedings relate, and without having subsequently— been released from custody, or had a court authorise the person’s continued remand in custody. This subsection applies to a calling of proceedings on petition in which— the person who is the subject of the proceedings is appearing from custody after a court authorised the person’s remand, and the hearing is not able to be held in that court due to the closure of the court building by reason of emergency or other special circumstances. If more than one person is the subject of the proceedings, the reference in subsection (2) or, as the case may be, (3) to the person who is the subject of the proceedings is to be read as referring to any of them. It is for the Lord Advocate or the procurator fiscal to determine in which sheriff court a calling to which subsection (2) or (3) applies is to be taken. Where proceedings have come before a sheriff court by virtue of subsection (1), and are proceedings to which subsection (2) applies, the proceedings may continue to be dealt with— in the same sheriff court, and The ability for proceedings to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6) comes to an end as follows— in the case of summary proceedings, insofar as the proceedings relate to a charge in respect of which the accused person has tendered a plea of not guilty which has not been accepted by the prosecutor, the proceedings cannot continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6) after the end of the diet at which that plea was tendered, in the case of proceedings on petition or indictment— insofar as the proceedings relate to a charge in respect of which the accused person has tendered a plea of not guilty which has not been accepted by the prosecutor, the proceedings cannot continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6) after the end of the diet at which that plea was tendered, the proceedings cannot continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6) after the committal of the accused person until liberation in due course of law, the first diet, and any proceedings which follow on from it, cannot be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6). Insofar as the ability to deal with proceedings by virtue of subsection (6) is not brought to an end by subsection (7), proceedings may continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (6) until their conclusion. For the purposes of subsection (6), proceedings on petition and any subsequent proceedings on indictment are to be treated as the same proceedings. This section applies where— a calling of criminal proceedings has come before a sheriff court by virtue of section 5B(1), and the proceedings are in respect of an accused person’s failure to attend a diet in summary proceedings or proceedings on indictment (“the principal proceedings”). If the principal proceedings are proceedings on indictment, the court may deal with them until the end of the diet in which the calling mentioned in subsection (1)(a) takes place. If the principal proceedings are summary proceedings, they may be dealt with— by a sheriff of any sheriffdom, unless, and until the end of the diet at which, a plea of not guilty is rejected. Despite subsections (2) and (3), the court may pass a sentence or otherwise dispose of the principal proceedings only where— evidence has not been led in the principal proceedings, or the court considers that for it to pass a sentence or otherwise dispose of the case would be in the interests of justice. For the purposes of subsection (3), a plea of not guilty is rejected where— the accused person— tenders a plea of not guilty, or confirms that the person is adhering to a previously tendered plea of not guilty, and that plea is not accepted by the prosecutor. A sheriff has jurisdiction for all cases which come before the sheriff by virtue of section 5B or 5C. A procurator fiscal for a sheriff court district has— power to prosecute or, as the case may be, represent the interests of the prosecutor in any case that comes before the sheriff court of that district by virtue of section 5B or 5C, the like powers in relation to such cases as the prosecutor has for the purposes of other cases that come before the sheriff when exercising criminal jurisdiction. For the purposes of sections 5B and 5C— a sheriff may, in every sheriffdom, without the need for further commission, exercise the jurisdiction and powers that attach to the office of sheriff in relation to criminal proceedings, paragraph (a) applies accordingly to any other member of the judiciary, so far as that member has the jurisdiction and powers that attach to the office of sheriff in relation to criminal proceedings. This section, and sections 5B and 5C, are without prejudice to— any other provision in this Part, and sections 34A and 137C. In sections 5B to 5D of this Act, “criminal proceedings” means any proceedings in which a sheriff court is exercising criminal jurisdiction including in particular— proceedings on petition, proceedings on indictment, summary proceedings, ancillary proceedings, such as proceedings in respect of— breach of bail, non-payment of a fine or other monetary penalty, breach of an order of a court, or failure of an accused person or a witness to attend a diet. The jurisdiction and powers of the JP court shall be exercisable by a summary sheriff or by one or more justices, and no decision of the court shall be questioned on the ground that it was not constituted as required by this subsection unless objection was taken on that ground by or on behalf of a party to the proceedings not later than the time when the proceedings or the alleged irregularity began. All prosecutions in a JP court shall proceed at the instance of the procurator fiscal. The authority of the procurator fiscal to prosecute in JP courts is without prejudice to the authority of any other person to take proceedings there in pursuance of section 43 (prosecutions and penalties) of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 (c. 44). In this section, “justice” means a justice of the peace. Except in so far as any enactment (including this Act or an enactment passed after this Act) otherwise provides, it shall be competent for a JP court to— try any common law or statutory offence which is triable summarily; make such orders and grant such warrants as are appropriate to a court of summary jurisdiction; do anything else (by way of procedure or otherwise) as is appropriate to such a court It shall be competent, whether or not the accused has been previously convicted of an offence inferring dishonest appropriation of property, for any of the following offences to be tried in the JP court— theft or reset of theft; falsehood, fraud or wilful imposition; breach of trust or embezzlement, where (in any such case) the amount concerned does not exceed level 4 on the standard scale. The JP court shall, without prejudice to any other or wider powers conferred by statute, be entitled on convicting of a common law offence— to impose imprisonment for any period not exceeding 60 days; to impose a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; to ordain the accused (in lieu of or in addition to such imprisonment or fine) to find caution for good behaviour for any period not exceeding six months and to an amount not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; failing payment of such fine or on failure to find such caution, to award imprisonment in accordance with section 219 of this Act, but in no case shall the total period of imprisonment imposed in pursuance of this subsection exceed 60 days. Without prejudice to any other or wider power conferred by any enactment, it shall not be competent for a JP court, as respects any statutory offence— to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a period exceeding 60 days; to impose a fine of an amount exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; or to ordain an accused person to find caution for any period exceeding six months or to an amount exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. The JP court shall not have jurisdiction to try or to pronounce sentence in the case of any person— brought before it accused or suspected of having committed within its jurisdiction any of the following offences— murder, culpable homicide, robbery, rape (whether at common law or under section 1(1) of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (asp 9)), rape of a young child (under section 18 of that Act), wilful fire-raising, or attempted wilful fire-raising; theft by housebreaking, or housebreaking with intent to steal; theft or reset, falsehood fraud or wilful imposition, breach of trust or embezzlement, where the value of the property is an amount exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; assault causing the fracture of a limb, assault with intent to ravish, assault to the danger of life, or assault by stabbing; uttering forged documents or uttering forged bank or banker’s notes, or offences under the Acts relating to coinage.

Where an accused is committed as mentioned in subsection (9) above, the prosecutor in the court which commits the accused shall forthwith give notice of the committal to the procurator fiscal of the area within which the offence was committed or to such other official as is entitled to take cognizance of the offence in order that the accused may be dealt with according to law. A calling of criminal proceedings in a JP court to which subsection (2) applies may be dealt with— in any JP court in Scotland, and by a justice of the peace, summary sheriff or sheriff of any sheriffdom. If more than one person is the subject of the proceedings, the reference in subsection (2) to the person who is the subject of the proceedings is to be read as referring to any of them. It is for the procurator fiscal to determine in which JP court a calling to which subsection (2) applies is to be taken. Where proceedings have come before a JP court by virtue of subsection (1), the proceedings may continue to be dealt with— in the same JP court, and Insofar as proceedings relate to a charge in respect of which the accused person has tendered a plea of not guilty which has not been accepted by the procurator fiscal, they cannot continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (5) after the end of the diet at which that plea was tendered. Insofar as the ability to deal with proceedings by virtue of subsection (5) is not brought to an end by subsection (6), proceedings may continue to be dealt with by virtue of subsection (5) until their conclusion.

A procurator fiscal for the area of a JP court has— power to prosecute or, as the case may be, represent the interests of the prosecutor in any case that comes before the JP court of that area by virtue of section 7A or 7B, the like powers in relation to such cases as the procurator fiscal has for the purposes of other cases that come before the JP court. For the purposes of sections 7A and 7B, a justice of the peace, summary sheriff or sheriff may, in every sheriffdom, without the need for further commission, exercise the jurisdiction and powers that attach to the office of justice of the peace. This section, and sections 7A and 7B, are without prejudice to— any other provision in this Part, section 137CC, and section 62 of the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007. In sections 7A to 7C of this Act, “criminal proceedings” means any proceedings in which a JP court is exercising jurisdiction including in particular ancillary proceedings, such as proceedings in respect of— For the purposes of sections 7A to 7C, sections 61 and 63 of the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007 apply in respect of a sheriff as they apply in respect of a summary sheriff. Notwithstanding any enactment or rule of law, a sheriff court or a JP court— shall not be required to sit on any Saturday or Sunday or on a day which by virtue of subsection (2) or (3) below is a court holiday; but may sit on any day for the disposal of criminal business.

A sheriff principal may in pursuance of subsection (2) or (3) above prescribe different days as court holidays in relation to different sheriff or JP courts . Where an offence is committed in any harbour, river, arm of the sea or other water (tidal or otherwise) which runs between or forms the boundary of the jurisdiction of two or more courts, the offence may be tried by any one of such courts. Where an offence is committed on the boundary of the jurisdiction of two or more courts, or within the distance of 500 metres of any such boundary, or partly within the jurisdiction of one court and partly within the jurisdiction of another court or courts, the offence may be tried by any one of such courts. Where an offence is committed against any person or in respect of any property in or on any carriage, cart or vehicle employed in a journey by road or railway, or on board any vessel employed in a river, loch, canal or inland navigation, the offence may be tried by any court through whose jurisdiction the carriage, cart, vehicle or vessel passed in the course of the journey or voyage during which the offence was committed.

Where an offence is authorised by this section to be tried by any court, it may be dealt with, heard, tried, determined, adjudged and punished as if the offence had been committed wholly within the jurisdiction of such court. It is competent for a justice, even if not present within his jurisdiction, to sign any warrant, judgment, interlocutor or other document relating to proceedings within that jurisdiction provided that when he does so he is present within Scotland. Where a person is alleged to have committed in more than one sheriff court district a crime or crimes to which subsection (2) below applies, he may be prosecuted in the sheriff court or JP court of such one of those districts as the Lord Advocate determines. This subsection applies to— a crime committed partly in one sheriff court district and partly in another; crimes connected with each other but committed in different sheriff court districts; crimes committed in different sheriff court districts in succession which, if they had been committed in one such district, could have been tried together .

This section is without prejudice to sections 4 to 10 of this Act. Any relevant person who in a country outside the United Kingdom does any act or makes any omission which if done or made in Scotland would constitute the crime of murder or of culpable homicide shall be guilty of the same crime and subject to the same punishment as if the act or omission had been done or made in Scotland. Any relevant person employed in the service of the Crown who, in a foreign country, when acting or purporting to act in the course of his employment, does any act or makes any omission which if done or made in Scotland would constitute an offence punishable on indictment shall be guilty of the same offence and subject to the same punishment, as if the act or omission had been done or made in Scotland. Any relevant person who in a country outside the United Kingdom does any act which— constitutes an offence under the law in force in that country, and if done in Scotland would constitute the crime of assault, is guilty of the same crime and subject to the same punishment as if the act had been done in Scotland. For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a), an act punishable under the law in force in the country is an offence under that law however it is described in that law. The condition specified in subsection (2A)(a) is to be taken as satisfied unless, not later than such time as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, the accused serves on the prosecutor a notice— stating that, on the facts as alleged with respect to the act in question, the condition is not in the accused's opinion satisfied, setting out the grounds for the accused's opinion, and requiring the prosecutor to prove that the condition is satisfied. But the court, if it thinks fit, may permit the accused to require the prosecutor to prove that the condition is satisfied without the prior service of a notice under subsection (2C). In proceedings on indictment, the question whether the condition is satisfied is to be determined by the judge alone. For the purposes of subsections (1) to (2B)— “country” includes territory; “relevant person” means a person who is a United Kingdom national or is habitually resident in Scotland; “United Kingdom national” means an individual who is— a British citizen, a British overseas territories citizen, a British National (Overseas) or a British Overseas citizen, a person who under the British Nationality Act 1981 is a British subject, or a British protected person within the meaning of that Act. A person may be prosecuted, tried and punished for an offence to which this section applies— in any sheriff court district in Scotland in which he is apprehended or is in custody; or in such sheriff court district as the Lord Advocate may determine, as if the offence had been committed in that district, and the offence shall, for all purposes incidental to or consequential on the trial or punishment thereof, be deemed to have been committed in that district. Any person who— has in his possession in Scotland property which he has stolen in any other part of the United Kingdom; or in Scotland receives property stolen in any other part of the United Kingdom, may be prosecuted, tried and punished in Scotland in like manner as if he had stolen it in Scotland. Where a person in any part of the United Kingdom outside Scotland— steals or attempts to steal any mail-bag or postal packet in the course of its transmission by post, or any of the contents of such a mail-bag or postal packet; or in stealing or with intent to steal any such mail-bag or postal packet or any of its contents commits any robbery, attempted robbery or assault with intent to rob, he is guilty of the offence mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) as if he had committed it in Scotland and shall be liable to be prosecuted, tried and punished there without proof that the offence was committed there. Any expression used in subsection (5) and in the Postal Services Act 2000 has the same meaning in that subsection as it has in that Act. This section applies to any act done by a person in Scotland which would amount to conspiracy to commit an offence but for the fact that the criminal purpose is intended to occur outwith Scotland. Where a person does an act to which this section applies, the criminal purpose shall be treated as the offence mentioned in subsection (1) above and he shall, accordingly, be guilty of conspiracy to commit the offence. A person is guilty of an offence by virtue of this section only if the criminal purpose would involve at some stage— an act by him or another party to the conspiracy; or the happening of some other event, constituting an offence under the relevant law; and conduct punishable under that law is an offence under that law for the purposes of this section however it is described in that law. In subsection (3) above, “the relevant law” is— if the act or event was intended to take place in another part of the United Kingdom, the law in force in that part, if the act or event was intended to take place in a country or territory outwith the United Kingdom, the law in force in that country or territory. Subject to subsection (6) below, a condition specified in subsection (3) above shall be taken to be satisfied unless, not later than such time as High Court may, by Act of Adjournal, prescribe, the accused serves on the prosecutor a notice— stating that, on the facts as alleged with respect to the relevant conduct, the condition is not in his opinion satisfied; setting out the grounds for his opinion; and In subsection (4) above “ the relevant conduct ” means the agreement to effect the criminal purpose. The court may permit the accused to require the prosecutor to prove that the condition mentioned in subsection (4) above is satisfied without the prior service of a notice under that subsection. In proceedings on indictment, the question whether a condition is satisfied shall be determined by the judge alone. Nothing in this section— applies to an act done before the day on which the Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act 1998 was passed, or imposes criminal liability on any person acting on behalf of, or holding office under, the Crown. The Lord Advocate may, from time to time, issue instructions to the chief constable with regard to the reporting, for consideration of the question of prosecution, of offences alleged to have been committed .... Where a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that a person has committed or is committing an offence at any place, he may require— that person, if the constable finds him at that place or at any place where the constable is entitled to be, to give the information mentioned in subsection (1A) below and may ask him for an explanation of the circumstances which have given rise to the constable’s suspicion; any other person whom the constable finds at that place or at any place where the constable is entitled to be and who the constable believes has information relating to the offence, to give the information mentioned in subsection (1A) below. That information is— the person's name; the person's address; the person's date of birth; the person's place of birth (in such detail as the constable considers necessary or expedient for the purpose of establishing the person's identity); and the person's nationality. The constable may require the person mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above to remain with him while he (either or both)— subject to subsection (3) below, verifies any information mentioned in subsection (1A) above given by the person; notes any explanation proffered by the person. The constable shall exercise his power under paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above only where it appears to him that such verification can be obtained quickly. A constable may use reasonable force to ensure that the person mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above remains with him. A constable shall inform a person, when making a requirement of that person under— paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, of his suspicion and of the general nature of the offence which he suspects that the person has committed or is committing; paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, of his suspicion, of the general nature of the offence which he suspects has been or is being committed and that the reason for the requirement is that he believes the person has information relating to the offence; subsection (2) above, why the person is being required to remain with him; either of the said subsections, that failure to comply with the requirement may constitute an offence. A person mentioned in— paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above who having been required— under that subsection to give the information mentioned in subsection (1A) above; or under subsection (2) above to remain with a constable, fails, without reasonable excuse, to do so, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; paragraph (b) of the said subsection (1) who having been required under that subsection to give the information mentioned in subsection (1A) above fails, without reasonable excuse, to do so shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. This section applies where a person has been arrested and is in custody .... A constable may take from the person , or require the person to provide him with, such relevant physical data as the constable may, having regard to the circumstances of the suspected offence or the relevant offence (within the meaning of section 164(3) of the Extradition Act 2003) in respect of which the person has been arrested ..., reasonably consider it appropriate to take from him or require him to provide, and the person so required shall comply with that requirement. Subject to subsections (3A) and (4) below and sections 18A to 18G of this Act, all record of any relevant physical data taken from or provided by a person under subsection (2) above, all samples taken under subsection (6) or (6A) below and all information derived from such samples shall be destroyed as soon as possible following a decision not to institute criminal proceedings against the person or on the conclusion of such proceedings otherwise than with a conviction or an order under section 246(3) of this Act. (3A) Subsection (3) does not apply to— relevant physical data taken under subsection (2) from, or provided under that subsection by, a person arrested under an extradition arrest power (within the meaning of section 174(2) of the Extradition Act 2003), and any sample, or any information derived from a sample, taken under subsection (6) or (6A) from a person arrested under such a power (but see section 18H). The duty under subsection (3) above to destroy samples taken under subsection (6) or (6A) below and information derived from such samples shall not apply— where the destruction of the sample or the information could have the effect of destroying any sample, or any information derived therefrom, lawfully held in relation to a person other than the person from whom the sample was taken; or where the record, sample or information in question is of the same kind as a record, a sample or, as the case may be, information lawfully held by or on behalf of the Police Service of Scotland in relation to the person.

For the purpose of subsection (4) above, a person does not cease to be subject to a sexual risk order where the person would be subject to such an order but for an order of a court considering an appeal against the making of a sexual risk order suspending the effect of the order pending the determination of the appeal. Subsection (4) above does not apply if before the duty to destroy imposed by that subsection would apply, the person— is convicted of an offence; or becomes subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of the 2003 Act. “sexual risk order” means an order under section 27 of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016, and also includes an order under section 122A or 123 of the 2003 Act; “the 2003 Act” has the meaning given by section 19AA(14) of this Act; and “convicted” shall be construed in accordance with section 19A(6) of this Act. A constable may use reasonable force in— taking any relevant physical data from a person or securing a person’s compliance with a requirement made under section 18(2), 19(2)(a) or 19A(2)(a) of this Act , or under subsection (3)(a) of section 19AA of this Act where that section applies by virtue of subsection (1)(a) of that section; exercising any power conferred by section 18(6), 19(2)(b) or 19A(2)(b) of this Act , or under subsection (3)(b) of section 19AA of this Act where that section applies by virtue of subsection (1)(a) of that section.

The relevant physical data, sample or information derived from a sample may be used— for the prevention or detection of crime, the investigation of an offence or the conduct of a prosecution, ... for the identification of a deceased person or a person from whom the relevant physical data or sample came, in the interests of national security, ... for the purposes of investigating foreign power threat activity, or for the purposes of a terrorist investigation. Subsections (4) and (5) apply to relevant physical data, a sample or information derived from a sample falling within any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (1) (“relevant material”). If the relevant material is held by the Police Service, the Authority or a person acting on behalf of the Police Service or the Authority, the Police Service or, as the case may be, the Authority or person may give the relevant material to another person for use by that person in accordance with subsection (2). The Police Service, the Authority or a person acting on behalf of the Police Service or the Authority may, in using the relevant material in accordance with subsection (2), check it against other relevant physical data, samples and information derived from samples received from another person. In subsection (2)— the reference to crime includes a reference to— conduct which constitutes a criminal offence or two or more criminal offences (whether under the law of a part of the United Kingdom or a country or territory outside the United Kingdom), or conduct which is, or corresponds to, conduct which, if it all took place in any one part of the United Kingdom would constitute a criminal offence or two or more criminal offences, the reference to an investigation includes a reference to an investigation outside Scotland of a crime or suspected crime, ... the reference to a prosecution includes a reference to a prosecution brought in respect of a crime in a country or territory outside Scotland , ... “foreign power threat activity” has the meaning given by section 33 of the National Security Act 2023, and “terrorist investigation” has the meaning given by section 32 of the Terrorism Act 2000. This section is without prejudice to any other power relating to the use of relevant physical data, samples or information derived from a sample. Subject to subsection (2) below, where subsection (3) below applies an appropriate officer may— require a person who has been arrested and is in custody in a police station to provide him with a sample of urine; or take from the inside of the mouth of such a person, by means of swabbing, a sample of saliva or other material, which the officer may subject to analysis intended to reveal whether there is any relevant Class A drug in the person's body. The power conferred by subsection (1) above shall not be exercised where the person has previously been required to provide or had taken from him a sample under that subsection in the same period in custody. the person is of 16 years of age or more; the period in custody in the police station has not exceeded 6 hours; the police station is situated in an area prescribed by order made by statutory instrument by the Scottish Ministers; and either— the person's arrest was on suspicion of committing or having committed a relevant offence; or a senior police officer who has appropriate grounds has authorised the making of the requirement to provide or the taking of the sample. Before exercising the power conferred by subsection (1) above, an appropriate officer shall— warn the person in respect of whom it is to be exercised that failure, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the requirement or, as the case may be, allow the sample to be taken constitutes an offence; and in a case within subsection (3)(d)(ii) above, inform the person of the giving of the authorisation and the grounds for the suspicion. a person has been required to provide or has had taken a sample under subsection (1) above; any of the following is the case— the sample was not suitable for the means of analysis to be used to reveal whether there was any relevant Class A drug in the person's body; though suitable, the sample was insufficient (either in quantity or quality) to enable information to be obtained by that means of analysis; or the sample was destroyed during analysis and the means of analysis failed to produce reliable information; and the person remains in custody in the police station (whether or not the period of custody has exceeded 6 hours), an appropriate officer may require the person to provide or as the case may be take another sample of the same kind by the same method. Before exercising the power conferred by subsection (5) above, an appropriate officer shall warn the person in respect of whom it is to be exercised that failure, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the requirement or, as the case may be, allow the sample to be taken constitutes an offence. to comply with a requirement made of him under subsection (1)(a) or (5) above; or to allow a sample to be taken from him under subsection (1)(b) or (5) above, “appropriate grounds” means reasonable grounds for suspecting that the misuse by the person of any relevant Class A drug caused or contributed to the offence on suspicion of which the person was arrested; “appropriate officer” means— a constable; or a police custody and security officer acting on the direction of a constable; “misuse” has the same meaning as in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c. 38); “relevant Class A drug” means any of the following substances, preparations and products— cocaine or its salts; any preparation or other product containing cocaine or its salts; diamorphine or its salts; any preparation or other product containing diamorphine or its salts; “relevant offence” means any of the following offences— theft; robbery; fraud; reset; embezzlement; an attempt, conspiracy or incitement to commit an offence mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (g); an offence under section 4 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c. 38) (restriction on production and supply of controlled drugs) committed in respect of a relevant Class A drug; an offence under section 5(2) of that Act of 1971 (possession of controlled drug) committed in respect of a relevant Class A drug; an offence under section 5(3) of that Act of 1971 (possession of controlled drug with intent to supply) committed in respect of a relevant Class A drug; “senior police officer” means a police officer of a rank no lower than inspector. Section 20A of this Act does not prejudice the generality of section 18 of this Act. Each person carrying out a function under section 20A of this Act must have regard to any guidance issued by the Scottish Ministers— about the carrying out of the function; or about matters connected to the carrying out of the function. An order under section 20A(3)(c) shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. An authorisation for the purposes of section 20A of this Act may be given orally or in writing but, if given orally, the person giving it shall confirm it in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable. If a sample is provided or taken under section 20A of this Act by virtue of an authorisation, the authorisation and the grounds for the suspicion are to be recorded in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable after the sample is provided or taken. A person guilty of an offence under section 20A of this Act shall be liable on summary conviction to the following penalties— where conviction is in the district court, not exceeding 60 days; or where conviction is in the sheriff court, not exceeding 3 months; or both such fine and imprisonment. Subject to subsection (8) below, a sample provided or taken under section 20A of this Act shall be destroyed as soon as possible following its analysis for the purpose for which it was taken. Where an analysis of the sample reveals that a relevant Class A drug is present in the person's body, the sample may be retained so that it can be used, and supplied to others, for the purpose of any proceedings against the person for an offence under section 88 of the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 (asp 10); but— the sample may not be used, or supplied, for any other purpose; and the sample shall be destroyed as soon as possible once it is no longer capable of being used for that purpose. Information derived from a sample provided by or taken from a person under section 20A of this Act may be used and disclosed only for the following purposes— for the purpose of proceedings against the person for an offence under section 88 of the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 (asp 10); for the purpose of informing any decision about granting bail in any criminal proceedings to the person; for the purpose of informing any decision of a children's hearing arranged to consider the person's case; where the person is convicted of an offence, for the purpose of informing any decision about the appropriate sentence to be passed by a court and any decision about the person's supervision or release; for the purpose of ensuring that appropriate advice and treatment is made available to the person. Subject to subsection (11) below, the Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument modify section 20A(8) of this Act for either of the following purposes— for the purpose of adding an offence to or removing an offence from those for the time being listed in the definition of “relevant offence”; for the purpose of adding a substance, preparation or product to or removing a substance, preparation or product from those for the time being listed in the definition of “relevant Class A drug”. An order under subsection (10)(b) may add a substance, preparation or product only if it is a Class A drug (that expression having the same meaning as in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c. 38)). An order under subsection (10) above shall not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing it has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. On the first occasion on which— a person accused on petition is brought before the sheriff prior to committal until liberated in due course of law; or a person charged on complaint with an offence is brought before a judge having jurisdiction to try the offence, the sheriff or, as the case may be, the judge shall, after giving that person and the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard ..., either admit or refuse to admit that person to bail. Before determining whether to admit or refuse to admit the person accused or charged to bail, the sheriff or judge must also give an officer of a local authority an opportunity to provide (orally or in writing) information relevant to that determination.

Admittance to or refusal of bail shall be determined before the end of the day (not being a Saturday or Sunday, or a court holiday prescribed for the court which is to determine the question of bail, unless that court is sitting on that day for the disposal of criminal business) after the day on which the person accused or charged is brought before the sheriff or judge. If, by that time, the sheriff or judge has not admitted or refused to admit the person accused or charged to bail, then that person shall be forthwith liberated. This section applies whether or not the person accused or charged is in custody when that person is brought before the sheriff or judge. Any person accused on petition of a crime . . . shall be entitled immediately, on any (other than the first) occasion on which he is brought before the sheriff prior to his committal until liberated in due course of law, to apply to the sheriff for bail, and the prosecutor shall be entitled to be heard against any such application. The sheriff shall be entitled in his discretion to refuse such application before the person accused is committed until liberated in due course of law. Where an accused is admitted to bail without being committed until liberated in due course of law, it shall not be necessary so to commit him, and it shall be lawful to serve him with an indictment or complaint without his having been previously so committed. Where bail is refused before committal until liberation in due course of law on an application under subsection (1) above, the application for bail may be renewed after such committal. Any sheriff having jurisdiction to try the offence or to commit the accused until liberated in due course of law may, at his discretion, on the application of any person who has been committed until liberation in due course of law for any crime or offence, . . ., and having given the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard, admit or refuse to admit the person to bail. Any person charged on complaint with an offence shall, on any (other than the first) occasion on which he is brought before a judge having jurisdiction to try the offence, be entitled to apply to the judge for bail and the prosecutor shall be entitled to be heard against any such application. An application under subsection (5) or (6) above shall be disposed of before the end of the day (not being a Saturday or Sunday, or a court holiday prescribed for the court which is to determine the question of bail, unless that court is sitting on that day for the disposal of criminal business) after the day of its presentation to the judge, failing which the accused shall be forthwith liberated. This section applies whether or not the accused is in custody at the time he appears for disposal of his application. A person may be admitted to bail under section 22A , 23, 65(8C) or 107A(7)(b) of this Act although in custody— having been refused bail in respect of another crime or offence; or serving a sentence of imprisonment. A decision to admit a person to bail by virtue of subsection (1) above does not liberate the person from the custody mentioned in that subsection. The liberation under section 22A(3), 23(7) or 107A(7)(b) of this Act of a person who may be admitted to bail by virtue of subsection (1) above does not liberate that person from the custody mentioned in that subsection. In subsection (1) above, “another crime or offence” means a crime or offence other than that giving rise to the consideration of bail under section 22A , 23, 65(8C) or 107A(7)(b) of this Act. Bail is to be granted to an accused person unless the court determines that there is good reason for refusing bail. The court may determine that there is good reason for refusing bail only if it considers that— at least one of the grounds specified in section 23C(1) applies, and having regard to the public interest, and having considered the imposition of bail conditions in accordance with subsection (2), it is necessary to refuse bail— in the interests of public safety, including the protection of the complainer from a risk of harm, or to prevent a significant risk of prejudice to the interests of justice. In determining a question of bail in accordance with subsection (1) above, the court is to consider the extent to which the public interest could, if bail were granted, be safeguarded by the imposition of bail conditions. The court must (without prejudice to any other right of the parties to be heard) give the prosecutor and the accused person an opportunity to make submissions in relation to a question of bail (including submissions in relation to any information provided by an officer of a local authority under section 22A(1A) or in response to a request under subsection (6)). The attitude of the prosecutor towards a question of bail (including as to bail conditions) does not restrict the court's exercise of its discretion in determining the question in accordance with subsection (1) above. For the purpose of so determining a question of bail (including as to bail conditions), the court may request the prosecutor or the accused person's solicitor or counsel or an officer of a local authority to provide it with information relevant to the question. Where relevant to a question of bail, and without prejudice to the generality of subsection (6), the court may in particular request the prosecutor to provide it with information in relation to the risk of harm to the complainer. However, whether the prosecutor, the accused person’s solicitor or counsel, or an officer of a local authority gives the court opinion as to any risk of something occurring (or any likelihood of something not occurring) is a matter for that party or officer to decide. For the purposes of subsections (1A)(b)(i) and (6A)— “complainer” means the person against whom the offence to which the proceedings relate is alleged to have been committed, “harm” means physical or psychological harm, “psychological harm” includes fear, alarm and distress. For the purposes of subsection (1A)(b)(ii), “prejudice to the interests of justice” means— the accused person evading justice as a result of the proceedings being delayed or discontinued, or the course of justice in the proceedings being impeded or prejudiced as a result of— the destruction, concealment or withholding of evidence, the giving of false or misleading evidence, or the quality of evidence, or its sufficiency in law, being diminished. In subsection (9)(b)(iii), the reference to the quality of evidence is to its quality in terms of completeness, accuracy and probative value. In any proceedings in which a person is accused of an offence, the following are grounds on which it may be determined that there is good reason for refusing bail— subject to subsection (1A), any substantial risk that the person might if granted bail— abscond; or fail to appear at a diet of the court as required; any substantial risk of the person committing further offences if granted bail; any substantial risk that the person might if granted bail— interfere with witnesses; or otherwise obstruct the course of justice, in relation to himself or any other person; any other substantial factor which appears to the court to justify keeping the person in custody. When determining whether there is good reason for refusing bail in summary proceedings, the court may take account of any such risk as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) only where— the person has previously failed to appear at a relevant diet, or the proceedings relate to an offence under section 27(1)(a) or 150(8). In assessing the grounds specified in subsection (1) above, the court must have regard to all material considerations including (in so far as relevant in the circumstances of the case) the following examples— the— nature (including level of seriousness) of the offences before the court; probable disposal of the case if the person were convicted of the offences; whether the person was subject to a bail order when the offences are alleged to have been committed; whether the offences before the court are alleged to have been committed— while the person was subject to another court order; while the person was on release on licence or parole; during a period for which sentence of the person was deferred; the character and antecedents of the person, in particular— the nature of any previous convictions of the person (including convictions by courts outside Scotland); whether the person has previously contravened a bail order or other court order (by committing an offence or otherwise); whether the person has previously breached the terms of any release on licence or parole (by committing an offence or otherwise); whether the person is serving or recently has served a sentence of imprisonment in connection with a matter referred to in sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) above; the associations and community ties of the person. In subsection (1A)(a), “relevant diet” means a diet of the court relating to the offence with which the person is charged— of which the person has been given due notice, or at which the person is required by this Act to appear. All crimes and offences ... are bailable. Nothing in this Act shall affect the right of the Lord Advocate or the High Court to admit to bail any person charged with any crime or offence. Whenever the court grants or refuses bail, it shall state its reasons. Where the court refuses bail in any proceedings in which a person is accused of an offence, it must— state in particular— the grounds on which it determines, in accordance with section 23B(1A), that there is good reason for refusing bail, if refusing bail solely on the ground specified in section 23C(1)(a) (substantial risk of absconding or failing to appear), its reasons for considering under section 23B(1A)(b) that it is necessary to do so, and its reasons for considering under section 23B(1A)(b) and (2) that either it would not be appropriate to impose on the accused bail conditions subject to a requirement to submit to monitoring in accordance with Part 1 of the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 (electronic monitoring) or that doing so would not adequately safeguard the interests of public safety or justice as mentioned in section 23B(1A)(b)(i) or (ii), and have the grounds mentioned in paragraph (a)(i) entered in the record of the proceedings. Where the court— grants bail to a person accused of an offence falling within subsection (2C); and does so without imposing on the accused further conditions under subsection (4)(b)(i) below, the court shall also state why it considers in the circumstances of the case that such conditions are unnecessary. An offence falls within this subsection if it is— a sexual offence (having the meaning given by section 210A(10) and (11)), an offence under section 1(1) of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, an offence that is aggravated as described in section 1(1)(a) of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016, an offence under section 39 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 (offence of stalking), an attempt, conspiracy or incitement to commit an offence mentioned in paragraph (b), (c) or (d), aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring the commission of an offence mentioned in paragraph (b), (c) or (d). It shall not be lawful to grant bail or release for a pledge or deposit of money, and— release on bail may be granted only on conditions which subject to subsection (6) below, shall not include a pledge or deposit of money; liberation may be granted by the police under section 25 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016. In granting bail the court or, as the case may be, the Lord Advocate shall impose on the accused— the standard conditions; and such further conditions as the court or, as the case may be, the Lord Advocate considers necessary to secure— that the standard conditions are observed; ... The standard conditions referred to in subsection (4) above are conditions that the accused— appears at the appointed time at every diet relating to the offence with which he is charged of which he is given due notice; or at which he is required by this Act to appear does not commit an offence while on bail; does not interfere with witnesses or otherwise obstruct the course of justice whether in relation to himself or any other person; ... does not behave in a manner which causes, or is likely to cause, alarm or distress to witnesses; whenever reasonably instructed by a constable to do so— participates in an identification parade or other identification procedure; and allows any print, impression or sample to be taken from the accused; makes himself available for the purpose of enabling enquiries or a report to be made to assist the court in dealing with him for the offence with which he is charged ; and where the (or an) offence in respect of which he is admitted to bail is one listed in subsection (7A)(b), does not seek to obtain, otherwise than by way of a solicitor, any precognition of or statement by the complainer in relation to the subject matter of the offence. The court or, as the case may be, the Lord Advocate may impose as one of the conditions of release on bail a requirement that the accused or a cautioner on his behalf deposits a sum of money in court, but only where the court or, as the case may be, the Lord Advocate is satisfied that the imposition of such condition is appropriate to the special circumstances of the case. Subsection (6) above does not apply in relation to an accused admitted to bail under section 65(8C) of this Act. In any enactment, including this Act and any enactment passed after this Act— any reference to bail shall be construed as a reference to release on conditions in accordance with this Act or to conditions imposed on bail, as the context requires; any reference to an amount of bail fixed shall be construed as a reference to conditions, including a sum required to be deposited under subsection (6) above; any reference to finding bail or finding sufficient bail shall be construed as a reference to acceptance of conditions imposed or the finding of a sum required to be deposited under subsection (6) above. For the purpose of subsection (5)(e)— “complainer” means the person against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed, the list is— an offence to which section 288C applies (certain sexual offending), an offence to which section 288DC applies (domestic abuse cases). In this section (other than subsection (2AA)) and sections 25 and 27 to 29 of this Act, references to an accused and to appearance at a diet shall include references respectively to an appellant and to appearance at the court on the day fixed for the hearing of an appeal. In the application of the provisions of this Part by virtue of section 9(2) or 77(2) of the Extradition Act 2003 (judge’s powers at extradition hearing), those provisions apply with the modifications that— references to the prosecutor are to be read as references to a person acting on behalf of the territory to which extradition is sought; the right of the Lord Advocate mentioned in section 24(2) of this Act applies to a person subject to extradition proceedings as it applies to a person charged with any crime or offence; the following do not apply— subsection (1A) of section 23C; paragraph (b) of section 24(3); and subsection (3) of section 30; and sections 28(1) and 33 apply to a person subject to extradition proceedings as they apply to an accused. In the application of the provisions of this Part by virtue of section 7(7) of the Extradition Act 2003 (identity of person arrested), those provisions apply with the modification that subsection (1A) of section 23C does not apply. Section 32 of this Act applies in relation to a refusal of bail, the amount of bail or a decision to allow bail or ordain appearance in proceedings under this Part as the Part applies by virtue of the sections of that Act of 2003 mentioned in subsection (1) above. The Scottish Ministers may, by order, for the purposes of section 9(2) or 77(2) of the Extradition Act 2003 make such amendments to this Part as they consider necessary or expedient. The order making power in subsection (3) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. When granting bail, the court shall (if the accused is present) explain to the accused in ordinary language— the effect of the conditions imposed; the effect of the requirement under subsection (2B) below; and the consequences which may follow a breach of any of those conditions or that requirement. The accused shall (whether or not the accused is present when bail is granted) be given a written explanation in ordinary language of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (A1) above. Such a written explanation may be contained in the copy of the bail order given to the accused or in another document. The court shall specify in the order granting bail, a copy of which shall be given to the accused— the conditions imposed; and that breach of a condition imposed is an offence and renders the accused liable to arrest, prosecution and punishment under this Act; an address, within the United Kingdom (being the accused’s normal place of residence or such other place as the court may, on cause shown, direct) which, subject to subsection (2) below, shall be his proper domicile of citation. The court may on application in writing by the accused while he is on bail alter the address specified in the order granting bail, and this new address shall, as from such date as the court may direct, become his proper domicile of citation; and the court shall notify the accused of its decision on any application under this subsection. Where an application is made under subsection (2) above— the application shall be intimated by the accused immediately and in writing to the Crown Agent and for that purpose the application shall be taken to be intimated to the Crown Agent if intimation of it is sent to the procurator fiscal for the sheriff court district in which bail was granted ; and the court shall, before determining the application, give the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard. Where the domicile of citation specified in an order granting bail ceases to be the accused's normal place of residence, the accused must make an application under subsection (2) above within 7 days of that happening. A person who without reasonable excuse contravenes subsection (2B) above is guilty of an offence and is liable— on conviction in the JP court, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 60 days or to both; in any other case, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12 months or to both. In this section “proper domicile of citation” means the address at which the accused may be cited to appear at any diet relating to the offence with which he is charged or an offence charged in the same proceedings as that offence or to which any other intimation or document may be sent; and any citation at or the sending of an intimation or document to the proper domicile of citation shall be presumed to have been duly carried out. In this section, references to the court (other than in subsection (2A)) shall, in relation to a person who has been admitted to bail by the Lord Advocate, be read as if they were references to the Lord Advocate. An accused who— is, by virtue of subsection (4) of section 65 of this Act, entitled to be admitted to bail; but fails to accept any of the conditions imposed by the court on bail under subsection (8C) of that section, shall continue to be detained under the committal warrant for so long as he fails to accept any of those conditions. Subject to subsection (7) below, an accused who having been granted bail fails without reasonable excuse— to appear at the time and place appointed for any diet of which he has been given due notice or at which he is required by this Act to appear; or to comply with any other condition imposed on bail, shall, subject to subsection (3) below, be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to the penalties specified in subsection (2) below. The penalties mentioned in subsection (1) above are— a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; and where conviction is in the JP court, not exceeding 60 days; or in any other case, not exceeding 12 months. Where, and to the extent that, the failure referred to in subsection (1)(b) above consists in the accused having committed an offence while on bail (in this section referred to as “the subsequent offence”), he shall not be guilty of an offence under that subsection but, subject to subsection (4) below, the court which sentences him for the subsequent offence shall, in determining the appropriate sentence or disposal for that offence, have regard to— the fact that the offence was committed by him while on bail and the number of bail orders to which he was subject when the offence was committed; any previous conviction of the accused of an offence under subsection (1)(b) above; and the extent to which the sentence or disposal in respect of any previous conviction of the accused differed, by virtue of this subsection, from that which the court would have imposed but for this subsection. The reference in subsection (3)(b) to any previous conviction of an offence under subsection (1)(b) includes— any previous conviction by a court in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, and if the court considers appropriate, any previous conviction by a court in a member State of the European Union, of an offence that is equivalent to an offence under subsection (1)(b). The references in subsection (3)(c) to subsection (3) are to be read, in relation to a previous conviction by a court referred to in subsection (3A), as references to any provision that is equivalent to subsection (3). Any issue of equivalence arising in pursuance of subsection (3A) or (3B) is for the court to determine. The court shall not, under subsection (3) above, have regard to the fact that the subsequent offence was committed while the accused was on bail unless that fact is libelled in the indictment or, as the case may be, specified in the complaint. The fact that the subsequent offence was committed while the accused was on bail shall, unless challenged— 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 this Act; or in summary proceedings, by preliminary objection before his plea is recorded, be held as admitted. In any proceedings in relation to an offence under subsection (1) above or subsection 7 below, the fact that (as the case may be) an accused— was on bail; was subject to any particular condition of bail; failed to appear at a diet; or was given due notice of a diet, shall, unless challenged in the manner described in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (4A) above, be held as admitted. Where the maximum penalty in respect of the subsequent offence is specified by or by virtue of any enactment, that maximum penalty shall, for the purposes of the court’s determination, by virtue of subsection (3) above, of the appropriate sentence or disposal in respect of that offence, be increased— where it is a fine, by the amount for the time being equivalent to level 3 on the standard scale; and where it is a period of imprisonment— as respects a conviction in the High Court or the sheriff court, by 6 months; and as respects a conviction in the JP court, by 60 days, notwithstanding that the maximum penalty as so increased exceeds the penalty which it would otherwise be competent for the court to impose. Where the sentence or disposal in respect of the subsequent offence is, by virtue of subsection (3) above, different from that which the court would have imposed but for that subsection, the court shall state the extent of and the reasons for that difference. Where, despite the requirement to have regard to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (3) above, the sentence or disposal in respect of the subsequent offence is not different from that which the court would have imposed but for that subsection, the court shall state (as appropriate, by reference to those matters) the reasons for there being no difference. An accused who having been granted bail in relation to solemn proceedings fails without reasonable excuse to appear at the time and place appointed for any diet of which he has been given due notice (where such diet is in respect of solemn proceedings) shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to the following penalties— a fine; and imprisonment for a period not exceeding 5 years. At any time before the trial of an accused under solemn procedure for the original offence, it shall be competent— to amend the indictment to include an additional charge of an offence under this section; to include in the list of witnesses or productions relating to the original offence, witnesses or productions relating to the offence under this section. At any time before the trial of an accused in summary proceedings for the original offence, it is competent to amend the complaint to include an additional charge of an offence under this section. A penalty under subsection (2) or (7) above shall be imposed in addition to any other penalty which it is competent for the court to impose, notwithstanding that the total of penalties imposed may exceed the maximum penalty which it is competent to impose in respect of the original offence. The reference in subsection (9) above 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 or indictment), 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. Subsection (9A)(b) above is subject to section 204A of this Act. A court which finds an accused guilty of an offence under this section may remit the accused for sentence in respect of that offence to any court which is considering the original offence. In this section “the original offence” means the offence with which the accused was charged when he was granted bail or an offence charged in the same proceedings as that offence. A constable may arrest without warrant an accused who has been released on bail where the constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the accused has broken, is breaking, or is likely to break any condition imposed on his bail. a constable who is not in uniform arrests a person under subsection (1), and the person asks to see the constable's identification, the constable must show identification to the person as soon as reasonably practicable. Where an accused who has been released on bail is arrested by a constable (otherwise than under subsection (1) above), the accused may be detained in custody under this subsection if the constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the accused has breached, or is likely to breach, any condition imposed on his bail. Subsection (1A) above— is without prejudice to any other power to detain the accused; applies even if release of the accused would be required but for that subsection. An accused who is arrested under subsection (1) above, or is detained under subsection (1A) above, shall wherever practicable be brought before the court to which his application for bail was first made not later than in the course of the first day after his arrest, such day not being, subject to subsection (3) below, a Saturday, a Sunday or a court holiday prescribed for that court under section 8 of this Act. Nothing in subsection (2) above shall prevent an accused being brought before a court on a Saturday, a Sunday or such a court holiday where the court is, in pursuance of the said section 8, sitting on such day for the disposal of criminal business. If— a person is in custody only by virtue of subsection (1) or (1A), and in the opinion of a constable there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person has broken, or is likely to break, a condition imposed on the person's bail, the person must be released from custody immediately. An accused is deemed to be brought before a court under subsection (2) or (3) if the accused 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). Where an accused is brought before a court under subsection (2) or (3) above, the court, after hearing the parties, may— recall the order granting bail; release the accused under the original order granting bail; or vary the order granting bail so as to contain such conditions as the court thinks it necessary to impose to secure that the accused complies with the requirements of paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 24(5) of this Act. In the case of an accused released on bail by virtue of section 65(8C) of this Act— subsection (2) above shall have effect as if the reference to the court to which his application for bail was first made were a reference to the court or judge which admitted him to bail under that section; and subsection (4) above shall not apply and subsection (4B) below shall apply instead. Where an accused referred to in subsection (4A) above is, under subsection (2) or (3) above, brought before the court or judge which admitted him to bail under section 65(8C)— the court or judge shall give the prosecutor an opportunity to make an application under section 65(5) of this Act; and if the prosecutor does not make such an application, or if such an application is made but is refused, the court or judge may— vary the order granting bail so as to contain such conditions as the court or judge thinks necessary to impose to secure that the accused complies with the requirements of paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 24(5) of this Act. The same rights of appeal shall be available against any decision of the court under subsection (4) above as were available against the original order of the court relating to bail. For the purposes of this section and section 27 of this Act, an extract from the minute of proceedings, containing the order granting bail and bearing to be signed by the clerk of court, shall be sufficient evidence of the making of that order and of its terms and of the acceptance by the accused of the conditions imposed under section 24 of this Act. Section 7(2) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 (“the 2016 Act”) does not apply to an accused who has been arrested under section 28(1) of this Act. The following provisions of the 2016 Act apply in relation to a person who is to be brought before a court under section 28(2) or (3) of this Act as they apply in relation to a person who is to be brought before a court in accordance with section 21(2) of the 2016 Act— section 22, section 23, section 24. In relation to a person who is to be brought before a court under section 28(2) or (3) of this Act, the 2016 Act applies as though— in section 23(2)— for paragraph (c) there were substituted— that the person is to be brought before the court under section 28 of the 1995 Act in order for the person's bail to be considered. paragraph (d) were omitted, in section 24— in subsection (3)(c), for the words “after being officially accused” there were substituted “ after being informed that the person is to be brought before a court under section 28(2) or (3) of the 1995 Act ”, and in subsection (4), for paragraph (c) there were substituted— in section 43(1), for paragraph (d) there were substituted— the court before which the person is to be brought under section 28(2) or (3) of the 1995 Act and the date on which the person is to be brought before that court. Without prejudice to section 27 of this Act, where the accused or a cautioner on his behalf has deposited a sum of money in court under section 24(6) of this Act, then— if the accused fails to appear at the time and place appointed for any diet of which he has been given due notice, the court may, on the motion of the prosecutor, immediately order forfeiture of the sum deposited; if the accused fails to comply with any other condition imposed on bail, the court may, on conviction of an offence under section 27(1)(b) of this Act and on the motion of the prosecutor, order forfeiture of the sum deposited. If the court is satisfied that it is reasonable in all the circumstances to do so, it may recall an order made under subsection (1)(a) above and direct that the money forfeited shall be refunded, and any decision of the court under this subsection shall be final and not subject to review. A cautioner, who has deposited a sum of money in court under section 24(6) of this Act, shall be entitled, subject to subsection (4) below, to recover the sum deposited at any diet of the court at which the accused appears personally. Where the accused has been charged with an offence under section 27(1)(b) of this Act, nothing in subsection (3) above shall entitle a cautioner to recover the sum deposited unless and until— the charge is not proceeded with; or the accused is acquitted of the charge; or on the accused’s conviction of the offence, the court has determined not to order forfeiture of the sum deposited. The references in subsections (1)(b) and (4)(c) above to conviction of an offence shall include references to the making of an order in respect of the offence under section 246(3) of this Act. This section applies where a court has refused to admit a person to bail or, where a court has so admitted a person, the person has failed to accept the conditions imposed or that a sum required to be deposited under section 24(6) of this Act has not been so deposited. This section also applies where a person who has accepted the conditions imposed on his bail wants to have any of them removed or varied. A court shall, on the application of any person mentioned in subsection (1) or (1A) above, have power to review (in favour of the person) its decision as to bail, or its decision as to the conditions imposed, if— the circumstances of the person have changed materially; or the person puts before the court material information which was not available to it when its decision was made. On receipt of an application under subsection (2), the court must— intimate the application to the prosecutor, and before determining the application, give the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard. Despite subsection (2A)(b), the court may grant the application without having heard the prosecutor if the prosecutor consents. Subsection (2C) below applies where an application is made under subsection (2) above by a person convicted on indictment pending the determination of— his appeal; any relevant appeal by the Lord Advocate under section 108 or 108A of this Act; or the sentence to be imposed on, or other method of dealing with, him. Where this subsection applies the application shall be— intimated by the person making it immediately and in writing to the Crown Agent; and determined not less than 7 days after the date of that intimation. An application under this section, where it relates to the original decision of the court, shall not be made before the fifth day after that decision and, where it relates to a subsequent decision, before the fifteenth day thereafter. Nothing in this section shall affect any right of a person to appeal against the decision of a court in relation to admitting to bail or to the conditions imposed. On an application by the prosecutor at any time after a court has granted bail to a person the court may, where the prosecutor puts before the court material information which was not available to it when it granted bail to that person, review its decision. On receipt of an application under subsection (1) above the court shall— intimate the application to the person granted bail; fix a diet for hearing the application and cite that person to attend the diet; and where it considers that the interests of justice so require, grant warrant to arrest that person. Despite subsection (2)(b), the court may grant the application without fixing a hearing if the person granted bail consents. Subsection (2B) below applies to an application under subsection (1) above where the person granted bail— was convicted on indictment; and was granted bail pending the determination of— Where this subsection applies, the application shall be heard not more than 7 days after the day on which it is made. On ... an application under subsection (1) above the court may— withdraw the grant of bail and remand the person in question in custody; or grant bail, or continue the grant of bail, either on the same or on different conditions. In relation to an accused admitted to bail under section 65(8C) of this Act— an application may be made under subsection (1) above only in relation to the conditions imposed on bail; and paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above shall not apply in relation to any such application. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall affect any right of appeal against the decision of a court in relation to bail. Where, in any case, bail is refused or where the accused is dissatisfied with the amount of bail fixed, he may appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court which may, in its discretion order intimation to the Lord Advocate or, as the case may be, the prosecutor. Where, in any case, . . . bail is granted, or, in summary proceedings an accused is ordained to appear, the public prosecutor, if dissatisfied— with the decision allowing bail; with the amount of bail fixed; or in summary proceedings, that the accused has been ordained to appear, may appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court, and the accused shall not be liberated, subject to subsection (7) below, until the appeal by the prosecutor is disposed of. The public prosecutor may, in relation to an accused admitted to bail under section 65(8C) of this Act, appeal under subsection (2) above only in relation to the conditions imposed on bail. Written notice of appeal shall be immediately given to the opposite party by a party appealing under this section. A notice of appeal under this section is to be lodged with the clerk of the court from which the appeal is to be taken. When an appeal is made under this section, that clerk shall without delay— send a copy of the notice of appeal to the judge whose decision is the subject of the appeal; and request the judge to provide a report of the reasons for that decision. The judge shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, provide that clerk with the judge's report of those reasons. The clerk of the court from which the appeal is to be taken (unless that clerk is the Clerk of Justiciary) must— send the notice of appeal without delay to the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court, and before the end of the day after the day of receipt of the notice of appeal, send the judge's report (if provided by then) to the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court. The clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court shall, upon receipt of the notice of appeal, without delay fix a diet for the hearing of the appeal. The clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court shall send a copy of the judge's report to— the accused or his solicitor; and the Crown Agent. In a case where the Sheriff Appeal Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, if the judge's report is not sent as mentioned in subsection (3CA) above— the appropriate Appeal Court may call for the report to be submitted to it within such period as it may specify; or if it thinks fit, hear and determine the appeal without the report. Subject to subsection (3G) above, the judge's report shall be available only to the appropriate Appeal Court, the parties and, on such conditions as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, such other persons or classes of person as may be so prescribed. An appeal under this section shall be disposed of by the appropriate Appeal Court or any judge of the appropriate Appeal Court in court or in chambers after such inquiry and hearing of parties as shall seem just. Where an accused in an appeal under this section is under 21 years of age, section 51 of this Act shall apply to the appropriate Appeal Court or, as the case may be, the judge of the appropriate Appeal Court when disposing of the appeal as it applies to a court when remanding or committing a person of the accused’s age for trial or sentence. In the event of the appeal of the public prosecutor under this section being refused, the court may award expenses against him. When an appeal is taken by the public prosecutor either against the grant of bail or against the amount fixed, the accused to whom bail has been granted (other than an accused to whom subsection (7B) below applies) shall, if the bail fixed has been found by him, be liberated after 72 hours from the granting of bail, whether the appeal has been disposed of or not, unless the appropriate Appeal Court grants an order for his further detention in custody. Where, in relation to an accused admitted to bail under section 65(8C) of this Act, the public prosecutor appeals against the conditions imposed on bail, the accused— may continue to be detained under the committal warrant for no more than 72 hours from the granting of bail or for such longer period as the appropriate Appeal Court may allow; and on expiry of that period, shall, whether the appeal has been disposed of or not, be released on bail subject to the conditions imposed. In computing the period mentioned in subsection (7) above, Sundays and public holidays, whether general or court holidays, shall be excluded. When an appeal is taken under this section by the prosecutor in summary proceedings against the fact that the accused has been ordained to appear, subsections (7) and (8) above shall apply as they apply in the case of an appeal against the granting of bail or the amount fixed. Notice to the governor of the prison of the issue of an order such as is mentioned in subsection (7) above within the time mentioned in that subsection bearing to be sent by the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court or the Crown Agent shall be sufficient warrant for the detention of the accused pending arrival of the order in due course of post. “appropriate Appeal Court” means— in the case of an appeal under this section against a bail decision of the High Court or a judge of the High Court, that Court, in the case of an appeal under this section against a bail decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court, the High Court, in the case of an appeal under this section against a bail decision of a sheriff (whether in solemn or summary proceedings) or a JP court, the Sheriff Appeal Court, “judge of the appropriate Appeal Court” means— in a case where the High Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, judge of that Court, in a case where the Sheriff Appeal Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, Appeal Sheriff, “the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court” means— in a case where the High Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, the Clerk of Justiciary, in a case where the Sheriff Appeal Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, the Clerk of that Court. In a case where the Sheriff Appeal Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, the references in subsections (3G)(b) and (10) to the Crown Agent are to be read as references to the prosecutor. a person has been convicted in any proceedings of an offence; and a question of bail (including as to bail conditions) subsequently arises in the proceedings (whether before sentencing or pending appeal or otherwise), the prosecutor and the convicted person must be given an opportunity to make submissions in relation to the question. But the attitude of the prosecutor towards the question does not restrict the court's exercise of its discretion in determining the question in accordance with the rules applying in the case. Despite subsection (1) above, the prosecutor need not be given an opportunity to make submissions in relation to a question of bail arising under section 245J of this Act. This section is without prejudice to any other right of the parties to be heard. No clerks fees, court fees or other fees or expenses shall be exigible from or awarded against an accused in respect of a decision on bail under section 22A above, an application for bail or of the appeal of such a decision or application to the High Court. A petition for warrant to arrest and commit a person suspected of or charged with crime may be in the forms— set out in Schedule 2 to this Act; or prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form; and Schedule 3 to this Act shall apply to any such petition as it applies to the indictment. If on the application of the procurator fiscal, a sheriff is satisfied that there is reasonable ground for suspecting that an offence has been or is being committed by a body corporate, the sheriff shall have the like power to grant warrant for the citation of witnesses and the production of documents and articles as he would have if a petition charging an individual with the commission of the offence were presented to him. Where the prosecutor believes— that, because of exceptional circumstances (and without an order under subsection (3) below), it is likely that there would be an unusually high number of accused persons appearing from custody for the first calling of cases on petition in the sheriff courts in the sheriffdom; and that it would not be practicable for those courts to deal with all the cases involved, the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff principal for the order referred to in subsection (2) below. For the purposes of subsection (1) above, the order is for authority for petition proceedings against some or all of the accused persons to be— taken at a sheriff court in another sheriffdom; and maintained— there; or at any of the sheriff courts referred to in subsection (1) above as may at the first calling of the case be appointed for further proceedings. On an application under subsection (1) above, the sheriff principal may make the order sought with the consent of the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom. An order under subsection (3) above may be made by reference to a particular period or particular circumstances. This section does not confer jurisdiction for any subsequent proceedings on indictment. The accused’s solicitor shall be entitled to be present at the examination. The sheriff may delay the examination for a period not exceeding 48 hours from and after the time of the accused’s arrest, in order to allow time for the attendance of the solicitor. An accused charged with an offence listed in subsection (4AA)(b) shall, as soon as he is brought before the sheriff for examination on the charge, be told— that his 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 his interests, if he has not already done so, to get the professional assistance of a solicitor; and that, if he does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at or for the purposes of the hearing, the court will do so. For the purposes of subsection (4A)— “relevant hearing” is to be construed in accordance with section 288C(1A) or (as the case may be) 288DC(4), A failure to comply with subsection (4A) above does not affect the validity or lawfulness of the examination or of any other element of the proceedings against the accused.

Where the accused is brought before the sheriff for further examination the sheriff may delay that examination for a period not exceeding 24 hours in order to allow time for the attendance of the accused’s solicitor. 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. Any proceedings before the sheriff in examination or further examination shall be conducted in chambers and outwith the presence of any co-accused. This section applies to procedure on petition, without prejudice to the accused being tried summarily by the sheriff for any offence in respect of which he has been committed until liberated in due course of law. An accused against whom there are charges in more than one sheriff court district may be brought before the sheriff of any one such district at the instance of the procurator fiscal of such district for examination on all or any of the charges. Where an accused is brought for examination as mentioned in subsection (1) above, he may be dealt with in every respect as if all of the charges had arisen in the district where he is examined. This section is without prejudice to the power of the Lord Advocate under section 10 of this Act to determine the court before which the accused shall be tried on such charges. Every petition shall be signed and no accused shall be committed until liberated in due course of law for any crime or offence without a warrant in writing expressing the particular charge in respect of which he is committed. Any such warrant for imprisonment which either proceeds on an unsigned petition or does not express the particular charge shall be null and void. The accused shall immediately be given a true copy of the warrant for imprisonment signed by the constable or person executing the warrant before imprisonment or by the prison officer receiving the warrant. A child under the age of 12 years cannot commit an offence. A child aged 12 years or more but under 16 years may not be prosecuted for any offence except on the instructions of the Lord Advocate, or at the instance of the Lord Advocate; and no court other than the High Court and the sheriff court shall have jurisdiction over such a child for an offence. Where a child is charged with any offence, his parent or guardian may in any case, and shall, if he can be found and resides within a reasonable distance, be required to attend at the court before which the case is heard or determined during all the stages of the proceedings, unless the court is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to require his attendance. For the purpose of enforcing the attendance of a parent or guardian and enabling him to take part in the proceedings and enabling orders to be made against him, rules may be made under section 305 of this Act, for applying, with the necessary adaptations and modifications, such of the provisions of this Act relating to summary proceedings as appear appropriate for the purpose. The parent or guardian whose attendance is required under this section is— the parent who has parental responsibilities or parental rights (within the meaning of sections 1(3) and 2(4) respectively of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995) in relation to the child; or the guardian having actual possession and control of him. The attendance of the parent of a child shall not be required under this section in any case where the child was before the institution of the proceedings removed from the care or charge of his parent by an order of a court. Where a local authority receive notification under section 24 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 they shall make such investigations and submit to the court a report which shall contain such information as to the home surroundings of the child as appear to them will assist the court in the disposal of his case, and the report shall contain information, which the appropriate education authority shall have a duty to supply, as to the school record, health and character of the child. Any child ... being conveyed to or from any criminal court, or waiting before or after attendance in such court, shall be prevented from associating with an adult (not being a relative) who is charged with any offence other than an offence with which the child is jointly charged. Where a child appears before the sheriff in summary proceedings and pleads guilty to, or is found guilty of, an offence to which this section applies, the sheriff may order that he be detained in a residential establishment for such period not exceeding one year as may be specified in the order in such place (in any part of the United Kingdom) as the appropriate local authority may, from time to time, consider appropriate. This section applies to any offence (other than, if the child is under the age of 16 years, an offence under section 9(1) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 8) or that section as applied by section 234AA(11) of this Act) in respect of which it is competent to impose imprisonment on a person of the age of 21 years or more. Where a child in respect of whom an order is made under this section is detained by the appropriate local authority, that authority shall have the same powers and duties in respect of the child as they would have if he were subject to a compulsory supervision order. Where a child in respect of whom an order is made under this section is also subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order, subject to subsection (6) below, the compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order shall be of no effect during any period for which he is required to be detained under the order. The Secretary of State may, by regulations ..., make such provision as he considers necessary as regards the detention in secure accommodation of children in respect of whom orders have been made under this section. Regulations under subsection (5) may, in particular, make provision about the circumstances in which such children may remain in secure accommodation despite attaining the age of 18 years (provided that no person may remain in such accommodation after attaining the age of 19 years). Regulations under subsection (5) are subject to the affirmative procedure. Where a child is detained in a residential establishment in pursuance of an order under— subsection (1) above, he shall be released from such detention not later than the date by which the period mentioned in subsection (6A) has (following commencement of the detention) elapsed but, without prejudice to subsection (7) below, until the entire period specified in the order has so elapsed may be required by the local authority to submit to supervision in accordance with such conditions as they consider appropriate; subsection (1) above or (8) below, the local authority may at any time review his case and may, in consequence of such review and after having regard to the best interests of the child and the need to protect members of the public, release the child— for such period and on such conditions as the local authority consider appropriate; or unconditionally. The period referred to in subsection (6)(a) is— where subsection (6B) applies, one-half of the period specified in the order, in any other case, three-tenths of the period specified in the order. This subsection applies where the offence to which the order relates is— an offence listed in paragraphs 36 to 60 of schedule 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, or a domestic abuse offence. Where a child released under paragraph (a) or (b)(ii) of subsection (6) above is subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order, the effect of that order shall commence or, as the case may be, resume upon such release. If, while released under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (6) above (and before the date on which the entire period mentioned in the said paragraph (a) has, following the commencement of the detention, elapsed), a child commits an offence to which this section applies and (whether before or after that date) pleads guilty to or is found guilty of it a court may, instead of or in addition to making any other order in respect of that plea or finding, order that he be returned to the residential establishment from which the child was released and that his detention in that establishment or any other such establishment chosen by the appropriate local authority shall continue for the whole or any part of the period which— begins with the date of the order for his return; and is equal in length to the period between the date on which the new offence was committed and the date on which that entire period elapses. An order under subsection (8) above for return to a residential establishment chosen by the appropriate local authority— shall be taken to be an order for detention in a residential establishment for the purpose of this Act and any appeal; and shall, as the court making that order may direct, either be for a period of detention in a residential establishment before and to be followed by, or to be concurrent with, any period of such detention to be imposed in respect of the new offence (being in either case disregarded in determining the appropriate length of the period so imposed). Where a local authority consider it appropriate that a child in respect of whom an order has been made under subsection (1) or (8) above should be detained in a place in any part of the United Kingdom outside Scotland, the order shall be a like authority as in Scotland to the person in charge of the place to restrict the child’s liberty to such an extent as that person may consider appropriate having regard to the terms of the order. “the appropriate local authority” means— where the child usually resides in Scotland, the local authority for the area in which he usually resides; in any other case, the local authority for the area in which the offence was committed; ... “domestic abuse offence” means— an offence that is aggravated as described in section 1(1)(a) of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016, or “residential establishment” and “secure accommodation” have the meanings given by section 202(1) of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. A child, or a relevant person in relation to the child, may appeal to the sheriff against a decision by a local authority to detain the child in secure accommodation in pursuance of an order made under section 44 of this Act. An appeal under subsection (1) may be made jointly by— the child and one or more relevant persons in relation to the child; or two or more relevant persons in relation to the child. An appeal must not be held in open court. The sheriff may determine an appeal by— confirming the decision to detain the child in secure accommodation; or quashing that decision and directing the local authority to move the child to be detained in residential accommodation which is not secure accommodation. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make further provision about appeals under subsection (1). Regulations under subsection (5) may in particular— specify the period within which an appeal may be made; make provision about the hearing of evidence during an appeal; provide for appeals to the Sheriff Appeal Court and Court of Session against the determination of an appeal. “relevant person”, in relation to a child, means any person who is a relevant person in relation to the child for the purposes of the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (including anyone deemed to be a relevant person in relation to the child by virtue of section 81(3), 160(4)(b) or 164(6) of that Act); “secure accommodation” has the same meaning as in section 44 of this Act. Where a child has been charged with an offence the court may order his parent or guardian to give security for his co-operation in securing the child’s good behaviour. Subject to subsection (3) below, an order under this section shall not be made unless the parent or guardian has been given the opportunity of being heard. Where a parent or guardian has been required to attend and fails to do so, the court may make an order under this section. Any sum ordered to be paid by a parent or guardian on the forfeiture of any security given under this section may be recovered from him by civil diligence or imprisonment in like manner as if the order had been made on the conviction of the parent or guardian of the offence with which the child was charged. In this section “parent” means either of the child’s parents, if that parent has parental responsibilities or parental rights (within the meaning of sections 1(3) and 2(4) respectively of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995) in relation to him. Where a person charged with an offence , whose age is not specified in the indictment or complaint in relation to that offence,is brought before a court other than for the purpose of giving evidence, and it appears to the court that he is a child, the court shall make due enquiry as to the age of that person, and for that purpose shall take such evidence as may be forthcoming at the hearing of the case, and the age presumed or declared by the court to be the age of that person shall, for the purposes of this Act or the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937, be deemed to be the true age of that person. The court in making any inquiry in pursuance of subsection (1) above shall have regard to the definition of child for the purposes of this Act. Without prejudice to section 255A of this Act,Where in an indictment or complaint for— an offence under the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) 1937; any of the offences mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 1 to this Act; or an offence under section 1, 10(1) to (3) or 12 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995, it is alleged that the person by or in respect of whom the offence was committed was a child or was under or had attained any specified age, and he appears to the court to have been at the date of the commission of the alleged offence a child, or to have been under or to have attained the specified age, as the case may be, he shall for the purposes of this Act or the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937 or Part I of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 be presumed at that date to have been a child or to have been under or to have attained that age, as the case may be, unless the contrary is proved. Where, in an indictment or complaint for an offence under the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937 or any of the offences mentioned in Schedule 1 to this Act, it is alleged that the person in respect of whom the offence was committed was a child or was a young person, it shall not be a defence to prove that the person alleged to have been a child was a young person or the person alleged to have been a young person was a child in any case where the acts constituting the alleged offence would equally have been an offence if committed in respect of a young person or child respectively. An order or judgement of the court shall not be invalidated by any subsequent proof that— the age of a person mentioned in subsection (1) above has not been correctly stated to the court; or the court was not informed that at the material time the person was subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order or that his case had been referred to a children’s hearing by virtue of regulations made under section 190 of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1). Where it appears to the court that a person mentioned in subsection (1) above has attained the age of 17 years, he shall for the purposes of this Act or the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937 be deemed not to be a child. In subsection (3) above, references to a child (other than a child charged with an offence) shall be construed as references to a child under the age of 17 years; but except as aforesaid references in this section to a child shall be construed as references to a child within the meaning of section 307 of this Act. Subject to subsection (3) below, no newspaper report of any proceedings in a court shall reveal the name, address or school, or include any particulars calculated to lead to the identification, of any person under the age of 18 years concerned in the proceedings, either— as being a person against or in respect of whom the proceedings are taken; or as being a witness in the proceedings. Subject to subsection (3) below, no picture which is, or includes, a picture of a person under the age of 18 years concerned in proceedings as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be published in any newspaper in a context relevant to the proceedings. The requirements of subsections (1) and (2) above shall be applied in any case mentioned in any of the following paragraphs to the extent specified in that paragraph— where a person under the age of 18 years is concerned in the proceedings as a witness only and no one against whom the proceedings are taken is under the age of 18 years, the requirements shall not apply unless the court so directs; where, at any stage of the proceedings, the court, if it is satisfied that it is in the public interest so to do, directs that the requirements (including the requirements as applied by a direction under paragraph (a) above) shall be dispensed with to such extent as the court may specify; and where the Secretary of State, after completion of the proceedings, if satisfied as mentioned in paragraph (b) above, by order dispenses with the requirements to such extent as may be specified in the order. This section shall, with the necessary modifications, apply in relation to sound and television programmes included in a programme service (within the meaning of the Broadcasting Act 1990) as it applies in relation to newspapers. A person who publishes matter in contravention of this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 of the standard scale. In this section, references to a court shall not include a court in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. A court by or before which a person is convicted of having committed an offence to which this section applies may refer— a child in respect of whom an offence mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) below has been committed; or any child who is, or who is likely to become, a member of the same household as the person who has committed an offence mentioned in paragraph (b) or (c) of that subsection or the person in respect of whom the offence so mentioned was committed, to the Principal Reporter, and certify that the offence shall be a ground established for the purposes of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1). This section applies to an offence— under section 21 of the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937; mentioned in Schedule 1 to this Act; or in respect of a person aged 17 years or over which constitutes the crime of incest. Where a child who is not subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order pleads guilty to, or is found guilty of, an offence the court— instead of making an order on that plea or finding, may remit the case to the Principal Reporter to arrange for the disposal of the case by a children’s hearing; or on that plea or finding may request the Principal Reporter to arrange a children’s hearing for the purposes of obtaining their advice as to the treatment of the child. Where a court has acted in pursuance of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, the court, after consideration of the advice received from the children’s hearing may, as it thinks proper, itself dispose of the case or remit the case as mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection. Where a child who is subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order pleads guilty to, or is found guilty of, an offence the court dealing with the case if it is— the High Court, may; and the sheriff JP court , shall, request the Principal Reporter to arrange a children’s hearing for the purpose of obtaining their advice as to the treatment of the child, and on consideration of that advice may, as it thinks proper, itself dispose of the case or remit the case as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above except that where section 51A of the Firearms Act 1968 or section 29 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 applies it shall itself dispose of the case . Subject to any appeal against any decision to remit made under subsection (1)(a) above or (7)(b) below, where a court has remitted a case to the Principal Reporter under this section, the jurisdiction of the court in respect of the child shall cease, and his case shall stand referred to a children’s hearing. Nothing in this section shall apply to a case in respect of an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law. Where a person who is— not subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order ; over the age of 16; and not within six months of attaining the age of 18, is charged summarily with an offence and pleads guilty to, or has been found guilty of, the offence the court may request the Principal Reporter to arrange a children’s hearing for the purpose of obtaining their advice as to the treatment of the person. On consideration of any advice obtained under subsection (6) above, the court may, as it thinks proper— itself dispose of the case; or where the hearing have so advised, remit the case to the Principal Reporter for the disposal of the case by a children’s hearing. No child under 14 years of age (other than an infant in arms) shall be permitted to be present in court during any proceedings against any other person charged with an offence unless his presence is required as a witness or otherwise for the purposes of justice or the court consents to his presence. Any child present in court when, under subsection (1) above, he is not to be permitted to be so shall be ordered to be removed. Where, in any proceedings in relation to an offence against, or any conduct contrary to, decency or morality, a person who, in the opinion of the court, is a child is called as a witness, the court may direct that all or any persons, not being— members or officers of the court; parties to the case before the court, their counsel or solicitors or persons otherwise directly concerned in the case; bona fide representatives of news gathering or reporting organisations present for the purpose of the preparation of contemporaneous reports of the proceedings; or such other persons as the court may specially authorise to be present, shall be excluded from the court during the taking of the evidence of that witness. The powers conferred on a court by subsection (3) above shall be in addition and without prejudice to any other powers of the court to hear proceedingsin camera. Where in any proceedings relating to any of the offences mentioned in Schedule 1 to this Act, the court is satisfied that the attendance before the court of any person under the age of 17 years in respect of whom the offence is alleged to have been committed is not essential to the just hearing of the case, the case may be proceeded with and determined in the absence of that person. Every court in dealing with a child who is brought before it as an offender shall have regard to the welfare of the child and shall in a proper case take steps for removing him from undesirable surroundings. In complying with subsection (6) the court must, in particular, consider what steps might be taken to facilitate the participation of the child in the proceedings while safeguarding the child’s welfare and, where reasonably practicable, take those steps. Where a court remands or commits for trial or for sentence a person under 21 years of age who is charged with or convicted of an offence and is not released on bail or ordained to appear, then, except as otherwise expressly provided by this section, the following provisions shall have effect— . . . if he is under 18 years of age . . . , the court shall commit him to the local authority which it considers appropriate to be detained— where the court so requires, in secure accommodation (as defined in section 202(1) of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1)) ; and in any other case, in a suitable place of safety chosen by the authority; if he is a person who has attained the age of 18 years, the court may commit the person to a young offenders institution, Where any person is committed to a local authority . . . under any provision of this Act, that authority . . . shall be specified in the warrant, and he shall be detained by the authority . . . for the period for which he is committed or until he is liberated in due course of law. The local authority which may be appropriate in relation to a power to commit a person under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) . . . may, without prejudice to the generality of those powers, be— the local authority for the area in which the court is situated; if the person is usually resident in Scotland, the local authority for the area in which he is usually resident; if the person is subject to a compulsory supervision order or interim compulsory supervision order, the implementation authority (as defined in section 202(1) of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1). The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision about the detention in secure accommodation of children who have been committed to a local authority under subsection (1)(a). Regulations under subsection (6) may, in particular, make provision about the circumstances in which such children may remain in secure accommodation despite attaining the age of 18 years (provided that no person may remain in such accommodation after attaining the age of 19 years). Regulations under subsection (6) are subject to the affirmative procedure. A person is not criminally responsible for conduct constituting an offence, and is to be acquitted of the offence, if the person was at the time of the conduct unable by reason of mental disorder to appreciate the nature or wrongfulness of the conduct. But a person does not lack criminal responsibility for such conduct if the mental disorder in question consists only of a personality disorder which is characterised solely or principally by abnormally aggressive or seriously irresponsible conduct. The defence set out in subsection (1) is a special defence. The special defence may be stated only by the person charged with the offence and it is for that person to establish it on the balance of probabilities. In this section, “conduct” includes acts and omissions. A person who would otherwise be convicted of murder is instead to be convicted of culpable homicide on grounds of diminished responsibility if the person's ability to determine or control conduct for which the person would otherwise be convicted of murder was, at the time of the conduct, substantially impaired by reason of abnormality of mind. For the avoidance of doubt, the reference in subsection (1) to abnormality of mind includes mental disorder. The fact that a person was under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other substance at the time of the conduct in question does not of itself— constitute abnormality of mind for the purposes of subsection (1), or prevent such abnormality from being established for those purposes. It is for the person charged with murder to establish, on the balance of probabilities, that the condition set out in subsection (1) is satisfied. Where it appears to the prosecutor in any court before which a person is charged with an offence that the person may be suffering from mental disorder, it shall be the duty of the prosecutor to bring before the court such evidence as may be available of the mental condition of that person. a person has been charged in a JP court with an offence punishable by imprisonment; and it appears to the court that the person has a mental disorder, the JP court shall remit the person to the sheriff in the manner provided by section 7(9) and (10) of this Act. a person has been charged with an offence; a relevant disposal has not been made in the proceedings in respect of the offence; and it appears to the prosecutor that the person has a mental disorder, the prosecutor may apply to the court for an order under section 52D(2) of this Act (in this Act referred to as an “assessment order”) in respect of that person. Where the prosecutor applies for an assessment order under subsection (1) above, the prosecutor shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the application, inform the persons mentioned in subsection (3) below of the making of the application. Those persons are— the person in respect of whom the application is made; any solicitor acting for the person; and in a case where the person is remanded in custody, the Scottish Ministers. “court” means any court, other than a JP court, competent to deal with the case; and “relevant disposal” means— the liberation in due course of law of the person charged; the desertion of summary proceedings pro loco et tempore or simpliciter; the desertion of solemn proceedings simpliciter; the acquittal of the person charged; or the conviction of the person charged. the person has not been sentenced; the person is remanded in custody; and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that the person has a mental disorder, the Scottish Ministers may apply to the court for an assessment order in respect of that person. Where the Scottish Ministers apply for an order under subsection (1) above, they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the application, inform the persons mentioned in subsection (3) below of the making of the application. in a case where a relevant disposal has not been made in the proceedings in respect of the offence with which the person is charged, the prosecutor. In this section, “court” and “relevant disposal” have the same meanings as in section 52B of this Act. This section applies where an application for an assessment order is made under section 52B(1) or 52C(1) of this Act. If the court is satisfied— on the written or oral evidence of a medical practitioner, as to the matters mentioned in subsection (3) below; and that, having regard to the matters mentioned in subsection (4) below, it is appropriate, it may, subject to subsection (5) below, make an assessment order authorising the measures mentioned in subsection (6) below and specifying any matters to be included in the report under section 52G(1) of this Act. The matters referred to in subsection (2)(a) above are— that there are reasonable grounds for believing— that the person in respect of whom the application is made has a mental disorder; that it is necessary to detain the person in hospital to assess whether the conditions mentioned in subsection (7) below are met in respect of the person; and that if the assessment order were not made there would be a significant risk to the health, safety or welfare of the person or a significant risk to the safety of any other person; that the hospital proposed by the medical practitioner is suitable for the purpose of assessing whether the conditions mentioned in subsection (7) below are met in respect of the person; that, if an assessment order were made, the person could be admitted to such hospital before the expiry of the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the order is made; and that it would not be reasonably practicable to carry out the assessment mentioned in paragraph (b) above unless an order were made. The matters referred to in subsection (2)(b) above are— all the circumstances (including the nature of the offence with which the person in respect of whom the application is made is charged or, as the case may be, of which the person was convicted); and any alternative means of dealing with the person. The court may make an assessment order only if the person in respect of whom the application is made has not been sentenced. The measures are— in the case of a person who, when the assessment order is made, has not been admitted to the specified hospital, the removal, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the order is made, of the person to the specified hospital by— a constable; a person employed in, or contracted to provide services in or to, the specified hospital who is authorised by the managers of that hospital to remove persons to hospital for the purposes of this section; or a specified person; the detention, for the relevant period given by subsection (6A) below, of the person in the specified hospital; and during the relevant period given by subsection (6A) below, the giving to the person, in accordance with Part 16 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), of medical treatment. For the purpose of subsection (6)(b) and (c) above, the relevant period is the period— beginning with the day on which the order is made, expiring at the end of the 28 days following that day. The conditions referred to in paragraphs (a)(ii) and (b) of subsection (3) above are— that medical treatment which would be likely to— prevent the mental disorder worsening; or alleviate any of the symptoms, or effects, of the disorder, is available for the person; and that if the person were not provided with such medical treatment there would be a significant risk— to the health, safety or welfare of the person; or to the safety of any other person. The court may make an assessment order in the absence of the person in respect of whom the application is made only if— the person is represented by counsel or a solicitor; that counsel or solicitor is given an opportunity of being heard; and the court is satisfied that it is— impracticable; or inappropriate, for the person to be brought before it. An assessment order may include such directions as the court thinks fit for the removal of the person subject to the order to, and detention of the person in, a place of safety pending the person’s admission to the specified hospital. The court shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making an assessment order, give notice of the making of the order to— the person subject to the order; any solicitor acting for the person; in a case where— the person has been charged with an offence; and a relevant disposal has not been made in the proceedings in respect of the offence, the prosecutor; in a case where the person, immediately before the order was made, was remanded in custody, the Scottish Ministers; and the Mental Welfare Commission. “court” has the same meaning as in section 52B of this Act; “medical treatment” has the meaning given by section 329(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13); “relevant disposal” has the same meaning as in section 52B of this Act; and “specified” means specified in the assessment order. the person has not been sentenced; and the court may, subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, make an assessment order in respect of that person. The court may make an assessment order under subsection (1) above only if it would make one under subsections (2) to (11) of section 52D of this Act; and those subsections shall apply for the purposes of subsection (1) above as they apply for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section, references in those subsections to the person in respect of whom the application is made being construed as references to the person in respect of whom it is proposed to make an assessment order. An assessment order made under subsection (1) above shall, for the purposes of this Act and the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), be treated as if made under section 52D(2) of this Act. In this section, “court” has the same meaning as in section 52B of this Act. If, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which an assessment order is made— in the case of a person who, immediately before the order was made, was remanded in custody, it appears to the Scottish Ministers; or in any other case, it appears to the court, that, by reason of emergency or other special circumstances, it is not reasonably practicable for the person to be admitted to the hospital specified in the order, the Scottish Ministers, or, as the case may be, the court, may direct that the person be admitted to the hospital specified in the direction. Where the court makes a direction under subsection (1) above, it shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the direction, inform the person having custody of the person subject to the assessment order of the making of the direction. Where the Scottish Ministers make a direction under subsection (1) above, they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the direction, inform— the court; the person having custody of the person subject to the assessment order; and the prosecutor, of the making of the direction. Where a direction is made under subsection (1) above, the assessment order shall have effect as if the hospital specified in the direction were the hospital specified in the order. “court” means the court which made the assessment order; and “relevant disposal” has the same meaning as in section 52B of this Act. The responsible medical officer shall, before the end of the day following the 28 days beginning with the day on which the assessment order is made, submit a report in writing to the court— as to whether the conditions mentioned in section 52D(7) of this Act are met in respect of the person subject to the order; and as to any matters specified by the court under section 52D(2) of this Act. The responsible medical officer shall, at the same time as such officer submits the report to the court, send a copy of such report— to the person in respect of whom the report is made; to any solicitor acting for the person; to the prosecutor; and to the Scottish Ministers. Subject to subsection (4) below, the court shall, on receiving a report submitted under subsection (1) above, revoke the assessment order and— subject to subsections (7) and (8) below, make a treatment order; or commit the person to prison or such other institution to which the person might have been committed had the assessment order not been made or otherwise deal with the person as the court considers appropriate. If, on receiving a report submitted under subsection (1) above, the court is satisfied that further time is necessary to assess whether the conditions mentioned in section 52D(7) of this Act are met in respect of the person subject to the assessment order, it may, on one occasion only, make an order extending the assessment order for a period not exceeding the relevant period given by subsection (4A) below. For the purpose of subsection (4) above, the relevant period is the period— beginning with the day on which the order would otherwise cease to authorise the detention of the person in hospital, expiring at the end of the 14 days following that day.

Where a report is submitted under subsection (1) above, the court shall— if satisfied that the person need not be subject to the treatment order— revoke the order; and commit the person to prison or such other institution to which the person might have been committed had the order not been made or otherwise deal with the person as the court considers appropriate; or revoke the order and take any action mentioned in paragraph (a)(ii) above. Sections 52M, 52P, this section and sections 52R and 52S of this Act apply to the variation of a treatment order under subsection (2)(b)(ii) above as they apply to a treatment order. This section applies— where, in the case of a person who, when the treatment order is made, has not been removed to the hospital specified in the order, the relevant period given by subsection (1A) below has not expired; or who, when the treatment order is made, has been admitted to the hospital specified in the order; or who has been removed under paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of section 52M of this Act to the hospital so specified.

In this section, a “relevant order” means— an interim compulsory treatment order made under section 65(2) of the 2003 Act; and a compulsory treatment order made under section 64(4)(a) of that Act. This section applies where a person (referred to in this section and in sections 53A to 53D of this Act as an “offender”)— is convicted in the High Court or the sheriff court of an offence punishable by imprisonment (other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law); or is remitted to the High Court by the sheriff under any enactment for sentence for such an offence. on the written or oral evidence of two medical practitioners— that the offender has a mental disorder; and as to the matters mentioned in subsection (3) below; and it may, subject to subsection (7) below, make an order (in this Act referred to as an “interim compulsion order”) authorising the measures mentioned in subsection (8) below and specifying any matters to be included in the report under section 53B(1) of this Act. The matters referred to in subsection (2)(a)(ii) above are— that the conditions mentioned in subsection (5) below are likely to be met in respect of the offender; and that the offender’s mental disorder is such that it would be appropriate to make one of the disposals mentioned in subsection (6) below in relation to the offender; that the hospital to be specified in the order is suitable for the purpose of assessing whether the conditions mentioned in subsection (5) below are met in respect of the offender; that, were an interim compulsion order made, the offender could be admitted to such hospital before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the order is made; and that it would not be reasonably practicable for the assessment mentioned in paragraph (b) above to be made unless an order were made. all the circumstances (including the nature of the offence of which the offender is convicted); and any alternative means of dealing with the offender. The conditions referred to in paragraphs (a)(i) and (b) of subsection (3) above are— is available for the offender; that if the offender were not provided with such medical treatment there would be a significant risk— to the health, safety or welfare of the offender; or to the safety of any other person; and that the making of an interim compulsion order in respect of the offender is necessary. The disposals are— both a compulsion order that authorises detention in hospital by virtue of section 57A(8)(a) of this Act and a restriction order; or a hospital direction. An interim compulsion order may authorise detention in a state hospital only if, on the written or oral evidence of the two medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above, it appears to the court— that the offender requires to be detained in hospital under conditions of special security; and that such conditions of special security can be provided only in a state hospital. in the case of an offender who, when the interim compulsion order is made, has not been admitted to the specified hospital, the removal, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the order is made, of the offender to the specified hospital by— the detention, for a period not exceeding the relevant period given by subsection (8A) below, of the offender in the specified hospital; and during the relevant period given by subsection (8A) below, the giving to the offender, in accordance with Part 16 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), of medical treatment. For the purpose of subsection (8)(b) and (c) above, the relevant period is the period— expiring at the end of the 12 weeks following that day. An interim compulsion order may include such directions as the court thinks fit for the removal of the offender to, and the detention of the offender in, a place of safety pending the offender’s admission to the specified hospital. The court may make an interim compulsion order in the absence of the offender only if— the offender is represented by counsel or solicitor; for the offender to be brought before it. The court shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making an interim compulsion order, give notice of the making of the order to— any solicitor acting for that person; Where a court makes an interim compulsion order in relation to an offender, the court— shall not, at the same time— make an order under section 200 of this Act; impose a fine; pass sentence of imprisonment; make a compulsion order; make a guardianship order; impose a community payback order; make a drug treatment and testing order; or make a restriction of liberty order, in relation of the offender; may make any other order which it has power to make apart from this section. “medical treatment” has the same meaning as in section 52D of this Act; “sentence of imprisonment” includes any sentence or order for detention; and “specified” means specified in the interim compulsion order. If, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the interim compulsion order is made, it appears to the court, or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers, that, by reason of emergency or other special circumstances, it is not reasonably practicable for the offender to be admitted to the hospital specified in the order, the court, or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers, may direct that the offender be admitted to the hospital specified in the direction. the court makes a direction under subsection (1) above, it shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the direction, inform the person having custody of the offender; and the Scottish Ministers make such a direction, they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after making the direction, inform— the court; and the person having custody of the offender. Where a direction is made under subsection (1) above, the interim compulsion order shall have effect as if the hospital specified in the direction were the hospital specified in the order. In this section, “court” means the court which made the interim compulsion order. The responsible medical officer shall, before the expiry of the period specified by the court under section 53(8)(b) of this Act, submit a report in writing to the court— as to the matters mentioned in subsection (2) below; and as to any matters specified by the court under section 53(2) of this Act. The matters are— whether the conditions mentioned in section 53(5) of this Act are met in respect of the offender; the type (or types) of mental disorder that the offender has; and whether it is necessary to extend the interim compulsion order to allow further time for the assessment mentioned in section 53(3)(b) of this Act. The responsible medical officer shall, at the same time as such officer submits the report to the court, send a copy of such report to— the offender; and any solicitor acting for the offender. The court may, on receiving the report submitted under subsection (1) above, if satisfied that the extension of the order is necessary, extend the order for such period not exceeding the relevant period given by subsection (4A) below as the court may specify, and if it seems appropriate to do so, direct that the offender be admitted to the hospital specified in the direction. beginning with the day on which the order would cease to have effect if it were not extended, The court may extend an interim compulsion order under subsection (4) above for a period only if, by doing so, the total period for which the offender will be subject to the order does not exceed the period— beginning with the day on which the order was first made, expiring at the end of the 12 months following that day. The court may, under subsection (4) above, extend an interim compulsion order or make a direction specifying a hospital in the absence of the offender only if— the offender is represented by counsel or a solicitor; Subsections (1) to (9) of this section shall apply for the purposes of an interim compulsion order extended under subsection (4) above as they apply for the purposes of an interim compulsion order, references in those subsections to the period specified by the court under section 53(8)(b) of this Act being construed as references to the period specified by the court under subsection (4) above. Where a direction is made under subsection (4) above, the interim compulsion order has effect as if the hospital specified in the direction were the hospital specified in the order. Where a report is submitted under subsection (1) above, the court may, before the expiry of the period specified by the court under section 53(8)(b) of this Act— revoke the interim compulsion order and make one of the disposals mentioned in section 53(6) of this Act; or revoke the interim compulsion order and deal with the offender in any way (other than by making an interim compulsion order) in which the court could have dealt with the offender if no such order had been made. “court” means the court which made the interim compulsion order; and “responsible medical officer” means the responsible medical officer appointed in respect of the offender under section 230 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13). An interim compulsion order shall cease to have effect if the court— makes a compulsion order in relation to the offender; makes a hospital direction in relation to the offender; or deals with the offender in some other way, including the imposing of a sentence of imprisonment on the offender. Where, otherwise than by virtue of section 53B(8) or 53C of this Act, an interim compulsion order ceases to have effect the court may deal with the offender who was subject to the order in any way (other than the making of a new interim compulsion order) in which it could have dealt with the offender if no such order had been made. Where the prosecutor accepts a plea (by the person charged with the commission of an offence) of the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act, the court must declare that the person is acquitted by reason of the special defence. Subsection (3) below applies where— the prosecutor does not accept such a plea, and evidence tending to establish the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act is brought before the court. Where this subsection applies the court is to— in proceedings on indictment, direct the jury to find whether the special defence has been established and, if they find that it has, to declare whether the person is acquitted on that ground, in summary proceedings, state whether the special defence has been established and, if it states that it has, declare whether the person is acquitted on that ground. A person is unfit for trial if it is established on the balance of probabilities that the person is incapable, by reason of a mental or physical condition, of participating effectively in a trial. In determining whether a person is unfit for trial the court is to have regard to— the ability of the person to— understand the nature of the charge, understand the requirement to tender a plea to the charge and the effect of such a plea, understand the purpose of, and follow the course of, the trial, understand the evidence that may be given against the person, instruct and otherwise communicate with the person's legal representative, and any other factor which the court considers relevant. The court is not to find that a person is unfit for trial by reason only of the person being unable to recall whether the event which forms the basis of the charge occurred in the manner described in the charge. In this section “the court” means— as regards a person charged on indictment, the High Court or the sheriff court, as regards a person charged summarily, the sheriff court. Where the court is satisfied... that a person charged with the commission of an offence is unfit for trial so that his trial cannot proceed or, if it has commenced, cannot continue, the court shall, subject to subsection (2) below— make a finding to that effect and state the reasons for that finding; discharge the trial diet or, in proceedings on indictment where the finding is made at or before the first diet (in the case of proceedings in the sheriff court) or the preliminary hearing (in the case of proceedings in the High Court), that diet or, as the case may be, hearing and order that a diet (in this Act referred to as an “an examination of facts”) be held under section 55 of this Act; and remand the person in custody or on bail or, where the court is satisfied— on the written or oral evidence of two medical practitioners, that the conditions mentioned in subsection (2A) below are met in respect of the person ; and that a hospital is available for his admission and suitable for his detention, make an order (in this section referred to as a temporary compulsion order) authorising the measures mentioned in subsection (2B) below in respect of the person until the conclusion of the examination of facts. Subsection (1) above is without prejudice to the power of the court, on an application by the prosecutor, to desert the dietpro loco et tempore. The conditions referred to in subsection (1)(c)(i) above are— that the person has a mental disorder; The measures referred to in subsection (1)(c) above are— in the case of a person who, when the temporary compulsion order is made, has not been admitted to the specified hospital, the removal, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the order is made of the person to the specified hospital by— the giving to the person, in accordance with Part 16 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), of medical treatment. The court may, before making a finding under subsection (1) above as to whether a person is unfit for trial , adjourn the case in order that investigation of his mental or physical condition may be carried out. The court which made a temporary compulsion order may, at any time while the order is in force, review the order on the ground that there has been a change of circumstances since the order was made and, on such review— where the court considers that such an order is no longer required in relation to a person, it shall revoke the order and may remand him in custody or on bail; in any other case, the court may— confirm or vary the order; or revoke the order and make such other order, under subsection (1)(c) above or any other provision of this Act, as the court considers appropriate. Where it appears to a court that it is not practicable or appropriate for the accused to be brought before it for the purpose of determining whether he is unfit for trial so that his trial cannot proceed, then, if no objection to such a course is taken by or on behalf of the accused, the court may order that the case be proceeded with in his absence. In this section “specified” means specified in the temporary compulsion order; and, “the court” means— as regards a person charged on indictment, the High Court or the sheriff court; At an examination of facts ordered under section 54(1)(b) of this Act the court shall, on the basis of the evidence (if any) already given in the trial and such evidence, or further evidence, as may be led by either party, determine whether it is satisfied— beyond reasonable doubt, as respects any charge on the indictment or, as the case may be, the complaint in respect of which the accused was being or was to be tried, that he did the act or made the omission constituting the offence; and on the balance of probabilities, that there are no grounds for acquitting him. Where the court is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) above, it shall make a finding to that effect. Where the court is not so satisfied it shall, subject to subsection (4) below, acquit the person of the charge. Where, as respects a person acquitted under subsection (3) above, the court is satisfied as to the matter mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above but it appears to the court that the person was not, because of section 51A of this Act, criminally responsible for the conduct constituting the offence, the court shall state whether the acquittal is by reason of the special defence set out in that section . Where it appears to the court that it is not practical or appropriate for the accused to attend an examination of facts the court may, if no objection is taken by or on behalf of the accused, order that the examination of facts shall proceed in his absence. Subject to the provisions of this section, section 56 of this Act and any Act of Adjournal the rules of evidence and procedure and the powers of the court shall, in respect of an examination of facts, be as nearly as possible those applicable in respect of a trial. For the purposes of the application to an examination of facts of the rules and powers mentioned in subsection (6) above, an examination of facts— commences when the indictment or, as the case may be, complaint is called; and concludes when the court— acquits the person under subsection (3) above; makes an order under subsection (2) of section 57 of this Act; or decides, under paragraph (e) of that subsection, not to make an order. An examination of facts ordered under section 54(1)(b) of this Act may, where the order is made at the trial diet or, in proceedings on indictment, at the first diet (in the case of proceedings in the sheriff court) or the preliminary hearing (in the case of proceedings in the High Court) , be held immediately following the making of the order and, where it is so held, the citation of the accused and any witness to the trial diet , first diet or, as the case may be, preliminary hearing shall be a valid citation to the examination of facts. Where an accused person is not legally represented at an examination of facts the court shall appoint counsel or a solicitor to represent his interests. The court may, on the motion of the prosecutor and after hearing the accused, order that the examination of facts shall proceed in relation to a particular charge, or particular charges, in the indictment or, as the case may be, complaint in priority to other such charges. The court may, on the motion of the prosecutor and after hearing the accused, at any time desert the examination of facts pro loco et tempore as respects either the whole indictment or, as the case may be, complaint or any charge therein. Where, and to the extent that, an examination of facts has, under subsection (5) above, been deserted pro loco et tempore— in the case of proceedings on indictment, the Lord Advocate may, at any time, raise and insist in a new indictment; or in the case of summary proceedings, the prosecutor may at any time raise a fresh libel, notwithstanding any time limit which would otherwise apply in respect of prosecution of the alleged offence. If, in a case where a court has made a finding under subsection (2) of section 55 of this Act, a person is subsequently charged, whether on indictment or on a complaint, with an offence arising out of the same act or omission as is referred to in subsection (1) of that section, any order made under section 57(2) of this Act shall, with effect from the commencement of the later proceedings, cease to have effect. For the purposes of subsection (7) above, the later proceedings are commenced when the indictment or, as the case may be, the complaint is served. a person is acquitted by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act; or following an examination of facts under section 55, a court makes a finding under subsection (2) of that section. Subject to subsection (3) below, where this section applies the court may, as it thinks fit— subject to subsection (4) below, make a compulsion order (whether or not authorising the detention of the person in a hospital); subject to subsection (4A) below, make a restriction order in respect of the person (that is, in addition to a compulsion order authorising the detention of the person in a hospital); subject to subsections (3A) and (4B) below, make an interim compulsion order in respect of the person; subject to subsections (4C) and (6) below, make a guardianship order in respect of the person; subject to subsection (5) below, make a supervision and treatment order (within the meaning of paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 4 to this Act in respect of the person); or make no order. Where the court is satisfied, having regard to a report submitted in respect of the person following an interim compulsion order, that, on a balance of probabilities, the risk his being at liberty presents to the safety of the public at large is high, it shall make orders under both paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2) above in respect of that person. The court may make an interim compulsion order under paragraph (bb) of subsection (2) above in respect of a person only where it has not previously made such an order in respect of the person under that paragraph.

The Scottish Ministers may, by regulations made by statutory instrument, make provision for measures prescribed by the regulations to be treated as included among the measures mentioned in subsection (8) above. The power conferred by subsection (10) above may be exercised so as to make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case or for different purposes. No regulations shall be made under subsection (10) above unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the Scottish Parliament. The court shall be satisfied as to the condition mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above only if the description of the offender’s mental disorder by each of the medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above specifies, by reference to the appropriate paragraph (or paragraphs) of the definition of “mental disorder” in section 328(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), at least one type of mental disorder that the offender has that is also specified by the other. A compulsion order— shall specify— by reference to the appropriate paragraph (or paragraphs) of the definition of “mental disorder” in section 328(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), the type (or types) of mental disorder that each of the medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above specifies that the offender has that is also specified by the other; and if the order does not, by virtue of subsection (8)(a) above, authorise the detention of the offender in hospital, the name of the hospital the managers of which are to have responsibility for appointing the offender’s responsible medical officer; and may include— in a case where a compulsion order authorises the detention of the offender in a specified hospital by virtue of subsection (8)(a) above; or in a case where a compulsion order imposes a requirement on the offender to reside at a specified place by virtue of subsection (8)(e) above, such directions as the court thinks fit for the removal of the offender to, and the detention of the offender in, a place of safety pending the offender’s admission to the specified hospital or, as the case may be, place. Where the court makes a compulsion order in relation to an offender, the court— shall not— make an interim compulsion order; pass a sentence of imprisonment; in relation to the offender; may make any other order that the court has power to make apart from this section. “care home service” has the meaning given by paragraph 2 of schedule 12 to the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 ; “community care services” has the meaning given by section 12A(8) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c. 49); “relevant services” has the meaning given by section 20(2) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 36); “responsible medical officer”, in relation to an offender, means the responsible medical officer appointed in respect of the offender under section 230 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13); “restriction order” means an order under section 59 of this Act; “specified” means specified in the compulsion order.

In this section, “specified” means specified in the compulsion order. This section applies where the court is considering making a compulsion order in relation to an offender under section 57A of this Act. If directed to do so by the court, the mental health officer shall— subject to subsection (3) below, interview the offender; and prepare a report in relation to the offender in accordance with subsection (4) below. If it is impracticable for the mental health officer to comply with the requirement in subsection (2)(a) above, the mental health officer need not do so. The report shall state— the name and address of the offender; if known by the mental health officer, the name and address of the offender’s primary carer; in so far as relevant for the purposes of section 57A of this Act, details of the personal circumstances of the offender; and any other information that the mental health officer considers relevant for the purposes of that section. “carer”, and “primary”, in relation to a carer, have the meanings given by section 329(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13); “mental health officer” means a person appointed (or deemed to be appointed) under section 32(1) of that Act; and “named person” has the meaning given by section 329(1) of that Act.

In this section, “court” means the court which made the compulsion order. Where a person is convicted in the High Court or the sheriff court of an offence, other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law, punishable by that court with imprisonment, and the court is satisfied— on the evidence of two medical practitioners (complying with section 61 of this Act and with any requirements imposed under section 57(3) of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4)) that the grounds set out in section 58(1)(a) of that Act apply in relation to the offender; that no other means provided by or under this Act would be sufficient to enable the offender’s interests in his personal welfare to be safeguarded or promoted, the court may, subject to subsection (2) below, by order place the offender’s personal welfare under the guardianship of such local authority or of such other person approved by a local authority as may be specified in the order. Where the case is remitted by the sheriff to the High Court for sentence under any enactment, the power to make an order under subsection . . . (1A) above shall be exercisable by that court. Where in the case of a person charged summarily in the sheriff court with an act or omission constituting an offence the court would have power, on convicting him, to make an order under subsection . . . (1A) above, then, if it is satisfied that the person did the act or made the omission charged, the court may, if it thinks fit, make such an order without convicting him. An order placing a person under the guardianship of a local authority or of any other person (in this Act referred to as “a guardianship order”) shall not be made under this section unless the court is satisfied— on the report of a mental health officer (complying with any requirements imposed by section 57(3) of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4)) giving his opinion as to the general appropriateness of the order sought, based on an interview and assessment of the person carried out not more than 30 days before it makes the order, that it is necessary in the interests of the personal welfare of the person that he should be placed under guardianship; that any person nominated to be appointed a guardian is suitable to be so appointed; that the authority or person is willing to receive that person into guardianship; and that there is no other guardianship order, under this Act or the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4), in force relating to the person's personal welfare which makes the same provision as the guardianship order which the court proposes to make under this section . A . . . guardianship order made under this section shall specify (by reference to the appropriate paragraph (or paragraphs) of the definition of “mental disorder” in section 328(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13)) the type (or types) of mental disorder that the person has ; and no such order shall be made unless the descriptions of the person’s mental disorder by each of the medical practitioners, whose evidence is taken into account under subsection (1A)(a) above, specifies at least one type of mental disorder that is also specified by the other. Where an order is made under this section, the court shall not pass sentence of imprisonment or impose a fine or impose a community payback order or make a drug treatment and testing order in respect of the offence, but may make any other order which the court has power to make apart from this section; and for the purposes of this subsection “sentence of imprisonment” includes any sentence or order for detention. Section 58A of this Act shall have effect as regards guardianship orders made under . . . this section. Subject to the provisions of this section, the provisions of Parts 1, 5, 6 and 7 of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4) (“the 2000 Act”) apply— to a guardian appointed by an order of the court under section 57(2)(c), 58(1) or 58(1A) of this Act (in this section referred to as a “guardianship order”) whether appointed before or after the coming into force of these provisions, as they apply to a guardian with powers relating to the personal welfare of an adult appointed under section 58 of that Act; to a person authorised under an intervention order under section 60B of this Act as they apply to a person so authorised under section 53 of that Act. In making a guardianship order the court shall have regard to any regulations made by the Scottish Ministers under section 64(11) of the 2000 Act and— shall confer powers, which it shall specify in the order, relating only to the personal welfare of the person; may appoint a joint guardian; may appoint a substitute guardian; may make such consequential or ancillary order, provision or direction as it considers appropriate. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2), or to any other powers conferred by this Act, the court may— make any order granted by it subject to such conditions and restrictions as appear to it to be appropriate; order that any reports relating to the person who will be the subject of the order be lodged with the court or that the person be assessed or interviewed and that a report of such assessment or interview be lodged; make such further inquiry or call for such further information as appears to it to be appropriate; make such interim order as appears to it to be appropriate pending the disposal of the proceedings. Where the court makes a guardianship order it shall forthwith send a copy of the interlocutor containing the order to the Public Guardian who shall— enter prescribed particulars of the appointment in the register maintained by him under section 6(2)(b)(iv) of the 2000 Act; unless he considers that the notification would be likely to pose a serious risk to the person’s health notify the person of the appointment of the guardian; and notify the local authority and the Mental Welfare Commission of the terms of the interlocutor. A guardianship order shall continue in force for a period of 3 years or such other period (including an indefinite period) as, on cause shown, the court may determine. Where any proceedings for the appointment of a guardian under section 57(2)(c) or 58(1) of this Act have been commenced and not determined before the date of coming into force of section 84 of, and paragraph 26 of schedule 5 to, the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4) they shall be determined in accordance with this Act as it was immediately in force before that date. Where a compulsion order authorising the detention of a person in a hospital by virtue of paragraph (a) of section 57A(8) of this Act is made in respect of a person, and it appears to the court— having regard to the nature of the offence with which he is charged; the antecedents of the person; and the risk that as a result of his mental disorder he would commit offences if set at large, that it is necessary for the protection of the public from serious harm so to do, the court may, subject to the provisions of this section, further order that the person shall be subject to the special restrictions set out in Part 10 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13) , without limit of time. An order under this section (in this Act referred to as “a restriction order”) shall not be made in the case of any person unless the approved medical practitioner , whose evidence is taken into account by the court under section 57A(2)(a) of this Act, has given evidence orally before the court. The court may, in the case of a person in respect of whom it did not, before making the compulsion order, make an interim compulsion order, make a restriction order in respect of the person only if satisfied that, in all the circumstances, it was not appropriate to make an interim compulsion order in respect of the person. This section applies where a person, not being a child, (in this section and in sections 59B and 59C of this Act referred to as the “offender”) is convicted on indictment in— the High Court; or the sheriff court, of an offence punishable by imprisonment. that the conditions mentioned in subsection (3) below are met in respect of the offender; and as to the matters mentioned in subsection (4) below;

and that, having regard to the matters mentioned in subsection (5) below, it is appropriate, the court may, in addition to any sentence of imprisonment which it has the power or the duty to impose, make, subject to subsection (6) below, a direction (in this Act referred to as a “hospital direction”) authorising the measures mentioned in subsection (7) below. The conditions referred to in subsection (2)(a)(i) above are— that the making of a hospital direction in respect of the offender is necessary. that the hospital proposed by the two medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above is suitable for the purpose of giving the medical treatment mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above to the offender; and that, were a hospital direction made, the offender could be admitted to such hospital before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the direction is made. the mental health officer’s report, prepared in accordance with section 59B of this Act, in respect of the offender; A hospital direction may authorise detention in a state hospital only if, on the written or oral evidence of the two medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above, it appears to the court— that the offender requires to be detained in a state hospital under conditions of special security; and in the case of an offender who, when the hospital direction is made, has not been admitted to the specified hospital, the removal, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which the direction is made, of the offender to the specified hospital by— the detention of the offender in the specified hospital; and the giving to the offender, in accordance with Part 16 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), of medical treatment. The court shall be satisfied as to the condition mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above only if the description of the offender’s mental disorder by each of the medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above specifies, by reference to the appropriate paragraph (or paragraphs) of the definition of “mental disorder” in section 328(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), at least one type of mental disorder that the offender has that is also specified by the other. A hospital direction— shall specify, by reference to the appropriate paragraph (or paragraphs) of the definition of “mental disorder” in section 328(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13), the type (or types) of mental disorder that each of the medical practitioners mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above specifies that is also specified by the other; and may include such directions as the court thinks fit for the removal of the offender to, and the detention of the offender in, a place of safety pending the offender’s admission to the specified hospital. “specified” means specified in the hospital direction. This section applies where the court is considering making a hospital direction in relation to an offender under section 59A of this Act. in so far as relevant for the purposes of section 59A of this Act, details of the personal circumstances of the offender; and In this section, “carer”, “primary”, in relation to a carer, and “mental health officer” have the same meanings as in section 57C of this Act. If, before the end of the day following the 7 days beginning with the day on which a hospital direction is made, it appears to the court, or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers, that, by reason of emergency or other special circumstances, it is not reasonably practicable for the offender to be admitted to the hospital specified in the hospital direction, the court, or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers, may direct that the offender be admitted to such other hospital as is specified. Where a direction is made under subsection (1) above, the hospital direction shall have effect as if the hospital specified in the hospital direction were the hospital specified by the court, or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers, under subsection (1) above. In this section, “court” means the court which made the hospital direction. Where a compulsion order, interim compulsion order (but not a extension thereof), guardianship order , a restriction order or a hospital direction has been made by a court in respect of a person charged or brought before it, he may without prejudice to any other form of appeal under any rule of law (or, where an interim compulsion order has been made, to any right of appeal against any other order or sentence which may be imposed), appeal against that order or, as the case may be, direction in the same manner as against sentence. This section applies where the court, in respect of a person charged or brought before it, has made— a restriction order; a decision under section 57(2)(e) of this Act to make no order; or Where this section applies, the prosecutor may appeal against any such order, decision or direction as is mentioned in subsection (1) above— if it appears to him that the order, decision or direction was inappropriate; or on a point of law, and an appeal under this section shall be treated in the same manner as an appeal against sentence under section 108 of this Act. The court may instead of making a compulsion order . . . or a guardianship order under section 57(2)(c) or 58(1A) of this Act, make an intervention order(as defined in section 53(1) of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4) where it considers that it would be appropriate to do so. Subject to subsection (7) below, this section applies where a person charged with an offence is acquitted. If the court by or before which the person is acquitted is satisfied— on the written or oral evidence of two medical practitioners that the conditions mentioned in subsection (3) below are met in respect of the person; and that it is not practicable to secure the immediate examination of the person by a medical practitioner, the court may, immediately after the person is acquitted, make an order authorising the measures mentioned in subsection (4) below for the purpose of enabling arrangements to be made for a medical practitioner to carry out a medical examination of the person. The measures referred to in subsection (2) above are— the removal of the person to a place of safety by— a person specified by the court; and the detention, subject to subsection (6) below, of the person in that place of safety for a period of 6 hours beginning with the time at which the order under subsection (2) above is made. If the person absconds— while being removed to a place of safety under subsection (4) above; or from the place of safety, a constable or the person specified by the court under paragraph (a) of that subsection may, at any time during the period mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection, take the person into custody and remove the person to a place of safety. An order under this section ceases to authorise detention of a person if, following the medical examination of the person, a medical practitioner grants— an emergency detention certificate under section 36 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13); or a short-term detention certificate under section 44 of that Act. This section does not apply in a case where the person is acquitted by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act. In this section, “medical treatment” has the same meaning as in section 52D of this Act. This section applies where a person has been removed to a place of safety under section 60C of this Act. The court shall, before the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the order under section 60C(2) of this Act is made, ensure that the Mental Welfare Commission is given notice of the matters mentioned in subsection (3) below. Those matters are— the name and address of the person removed to the place of safety; the date on and time at which the person was so removed; the address of the place of safety; if the person is removed to a police station, the reason why the person was removed there; and any other matter that the Scottish Ministers may, by regulations made by statutory instrument, prescribe. The power conferred by subsection (3)(e) above may be exercised so as to make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case or for different purposes. A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (3)(e) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. Of the medical practitioners whose evidence is taken into account in making a finding ... under any of the relevant provisions, at least one shall be an approved medical practitioner . Of the medical practitioners whose evidence is taken into account under section 52M(2)(a), 53(2)(a) , 54(1)(c), 57A(2)(a) or 59A(3)(a) and (b) of this Act, at least one shall be employed at the hospital which is to be specified in the order or, as the case may be, direction. Written or oral evidence given for the purposes of section 52D(2)(a) orany of the relevant provisions shall include a statement as to whether the person giving the evidence is related to the accused and of any pecuniary interest which that person may have in the admission of the accused to hospital or his reception into guardianship. For the purposes of making a finding under section 52D(2)(a) ... of this Act or of any of the relevant provisions a report in writing purporting to be signed by a medical practitioner may, subject to the provisions of this section, be received in evidence without proof of the signature or qualifications of the practitioner; but the court may, in any case, require that the practitioner by whom such a report was signed be called to give oral evidence. Where any such report as aforesaid is tendered in evidence, otherwise than by or on behalf of the accused, then— if the accused is represented by counsel or solicitor, a copy of the report shall be given to his counsel or solicitor; if the accused is not so represented, the substance of the report shall be disclosed to the accused or, where he is a child under 16 years of age, to his parent or guardian if present in court; in any case, the accused may require that the practitioner by whom the report was signed be called to give oral evidence, and evidence to rebut the evidence contained in the report may be called by or on behalf of the accused, and where the court is of the opinion that further time is necessary in the interests of the accused for consideration of that report, or the substance of any such report, it shall adjourn the case. For the purpose of calling evidence to rebut the evidence contained in any such report as aforesaid, arrangements may be made by or on behalf of an accused person detained in a hospital or, as respects a report for the purposes of section 54(1)(c) of this Act , remanded in custody for his examination by any medical practitioner, and any such examination may be made in private. In this section the “relevant provisions” means sections 52M(2)(a), 53(2)(a), 54(1)(c), 57A(2)(a), 58(1A)(a), 59A(2)(a) and 60C(2)(a) of this Act. In this section, “approved medical practitioner” has the meaning given by section 22 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13). Subsection (2) below applies in relation to a person who is subject to— an assessment order, a treatment order, an interim compulsion order, or a temporary compulsion order (see section 54(1)(c) of this Act). The person's responsible medical officer may transfer the person from the specified hospital to another hospital. The responsible medical officer may transfer the person only if satisfied that, for the purpose for which the order in question is made— the specified hospital is not suitable, and the other hospital is suitable. In considering the suitability of each hospital, the responsible medical officer is to have particular regard to the specific requirements and needs in the person's case. As far before the transfer as practicable, the responsible medical officer must— inform the person of the reason for the transfer, notify the managers of the specified hospital, and obtain the consent of— the managers of the other hospital, and the Scottish Ministers. As soon after the transfer as practicable, the responsible medical officer must notify— any solicitor known by the officer to be acting for the person, and the court which made the order in question. A person may be transferred under subsection (2) above only once with respect to the order in question. Where a person is transferred under subsection (2) above, the order in question has effect as if the other hospital were the specified hospital. “managers” has the meaning given by section 329(1) of the Mental Health (Treatment and Care) Scotland) Act 2003, “responsible medical officer” has the meaning given by section 329(4) of that Act, “specified hospital” means hospital to which the person is admitted by virtue of the order in question. A reference in this Part to a hospital may be read as a reference to a hospital unit. In the operation of section 61A of this Act in relation to a transfer from one hospital unit to another within the same hospital— subsection (2) of that section applies by virtue of subsection (1) of that section where the order in question specifies the hospital unit in which the person is to be detained, in subsection (5) of that section— paragraph (b) is to be ignored, in paragraph (c)(i), the reference to the managers of the other hospital is to be read as a reference to the managers of the hospital in which the person is detained.

It shall not be necessary to include in the list of witnesses the names of any witnesses to the declaration of the accused or the names of any witnesses to prove that an extract conviction applies to the accused, but witnesses may be examined in regard to these matters without previous notice. Any objection in respect of misnomer or misdescription of— any person named in the indictment; or any witness in the list of witnesses, shall be intimated in writing to the court before which the trial is to take place, to the prosecutor and to any other accused, where the case is to be tried in the sheriff court, at or before the first diet and, where the case is to be tried in the High Court, not less than seven clear days before the preliminary hearing; and, except on cause shown, no such objection shall be admitted . . . unless so intimated. Where such intimation has been given or cause is shown and the court is satisfied that the accused making the objection has not been supplied with sufficient information to enable him to identify the person named in the indictment or to find such witness in sufficient time to precognosce him before the trial, the court may grant such remedy by postponement, adjournment or otherwise as appears to it to be appropriate. The prosecutor shall have a duty to cite a witness included in the list only if— it has been ascertained under— in the case of proceedings in the High Court, section 72(6)(d); or in the case of proceedings in the sheriff court, section 71(1C)(a), of this Act that the witness is required by the prosecutor or the accused to attend the trial; or where, in the case of proceedings in the High Court, the preliminary hearing has been dispensed with under subsection (1) of section 72B of this Act, the witness was identified in the application under that subsection as being required by the prosecutor or the accused to attend the trial.

No mention shall be made in the indictment of previous convictions, nor shall extracts of previous convictions be included in the list of productions annexed to the indictment. If the prosecutor intends to place before the court any previous conviction, he shall cause to be served on the accused along with the indictment a notice in the form set out in an Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form, and any conviction specified in the notice shall be held to apply to the accused unless he gives, in accordance with subsection (3) below, written intimation objecting to such conviction on the ground that it does not apply to him or is otherwise inadmissible. Intimation objecting to a conviction under subsection (2) above shall be given— where the accused is indicted to the High Court, to the Crown Agent not less than seven clear days before the preliminary hearing; where the accused is indicted to the sheriff court, to the procurator fiscal at least five clear days before the first day of the sitting in which the trial diet is to be held. .

Where at the trial diet the organisation does not appear as mentioned in subsection (4) above, or by counsel or a solicitor, the court may— on the motion of the prosecutor; and if satisfied as to the matters specified in subsection (5A) below, proceed with the trial and dispose of the case in the absence of the organisation. The matters referred to in subsection (5)(b) above are— that the organisation was cited in accordance with section 66 of this Act as read with subsection (2) above; and that it is in the interests of justice to proceed as mentioned in subsection (5) above. Where an organisation is sentenced to a fine, the fine may be recovered in like manner in all respects as if a copy of the sentence certified by the clerk of the court were an extract decree of the Court of Session for the payment of the amount of the fine by the organisation to the Queen’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer. In subsection (4) above, “representative” means— in the case of a body corporate (other than a limited liability partnership), the managing director, secretary or other person in charge, or locally in charge, of its affairs; in the case of a limited liability partnership, a member of the partnership; in the case of a partnership (other than a limited liability partnership), a partner or other person in charge, or locally in charge, of the partnership's affairs; in the case of an unincorporated association, the secretary or other person in charge, or locally in charge, of the association's affairs; in the case of any other organisation, an employee, officer or official of the organisation duly appointed by it for the purposes of the proceedings.

This section applies where an indictment is served on an accused. The accused must lodge a defence statement at least 14 days before the first diet. The accused must lodge a defence statement at least 14 days before the preliminary hearing. At least 7 days before the trial diet the accused must— where there has been no material change in circumstances in relation to the accused's defence since the last defence statement was lodged, lodge a statement stating that fact, where there has been a material change in circumstances in relation to the accused's defence since the last defence statement was lodged, lodge a defence statement. If after lodging a statement under subsection (2), (3) or (4) there is a material change in circumstances in relation to the accused's defence, the accused must lodge a defence statement. Where subsection (5) requires a defence statement to be lodged, it must be lodged before the trial diet begins unless on cause shown the court allows it to be lodged during the trial diet. The accused may lodge a defence statement— at any time before the trial diet, or during the trial diet if the court on cause shown allows it. As soon as practicable after lodging a defence statement or a statement under subsection (4)(a), the accused must send a copy of the statement to the prosecutor and any co-accused.

Where solemn proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child, the court may sit either in a different building or room from that in which it usually sits or on different days from those on which other courts in the building are engaged in criminal proceedings. Where solemn proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child, the court may direct that no person is to be present at any sitting for the purposes of such proceedings except— members and officers of the court, parties to the case before the court, their solicitors and counsel, jurors, witnesses and other persons directly concerned in that case, bona fide representatives of news gathering or reporting organisations present for the purpose of the preparation of contemporaneous reports of the proceedings, such other persons as the court may specially authorise to be present. A court sitting for the purpose of hearing a charge against, or an application relating to, a person who is believed to be a child may, if it thinks fit, proceed with the hearing and determination of the charge or application even though it is discovered that the person in question is not a child.

Where solemn proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child who is charged jointly with a person who is not a child, the court must, in considering whether to take the steps mentioned in subsection (1) or to make a direction as mentioned in subsection (2), have regard to the rights of the person with whom the child is jointly charged to effectively participate in the proceedings. At a first diet in proceedings to which subsection (B1) below applies, the court shall, . . . ascertain whether the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at any relevant hearing in the course of the proceedings. This subsection applies to proceedings— in which the accused is charged with a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, in respect of an offence to which section 288DC of this Act applies (domestic abuse cases), to which section 288E of this Act applies, or in which an order under section 288F(2) of this Act has been made in relation to any hearing in the course of the proceedings. At a first diet the court shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, ascertain ...— the state of preparation of the prosecutor and of the accused with respect to their cases; and the extent to which the prosecutor and the accused have complied with the duty under section 257(1) of this Act. If a written record has been lodged in accordance with section 71C, the court must have regard to the written record when ascertaining the state of preparation of the parties. At a first diet, the court shall also— ascertain whether subsection (1B) below applies to any person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of any hearing in the course of the proceedings or to the accused, and if so, consider whether it should make an order under section 271A(7) or 271D(2) of this Act in relation to the person or, as the case may be, the accused. This subsection applies— to a person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of any hearing in the course of the proceedings if that person is, or is likely to be, a vulnerable witness, to the accused if, were he to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial, he would be, or would be likely to be, a vulnerable witness. At a first diet, the court— shall ascertain which of the witnesses included in the list of witnesses are required by the prosecutor or the accused to attend the trial; and shall, where the accused has been admitted to bail, review the conditions imposed on his bail and may— after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard; and if it considers it appropriate to do so, fix bail on different conditions. In addition to the matters mentioned in subsection (1) , (1A) and (1C) above the court shall, at a first diet, consider any preliminary plea or preliminary issue (within the meanings given to those terms in section 79(2) of this Act) of which a party has, not less than two clear days before the first diet, given notice to the court and to the other parties. At a first diet the court shall also dispose of any vulnerable witness notice under section 271A(2) or vulnerable witness application under section 271C(2) appointed to be disposed of at that diet. At a first diet, the court shall also ascertain whether there is any objection to the admissibility of any evidence which any party wishes to raise despite not having given the notice referred to in subsection (2) above, and— if so, decide whether to grant leave under section 79(1) of this Act for the objection to be raised; and if leave is granted, dispose of the objection unless it considers it inappropriate to do so at the first diet. Where the court, having granted leave for the objection to be raised, decides not to dispose of it at the first diet, the court may— appoint a further diet to be held before the trial diet for the purpose of disposing of the objection; or appoint the objection to be disposed of at the trial diet. At a first diet the court may consider an application for the purposes of subsection (1) of section 275 of this Act. At a first diet the court may ask the prosecutor and the accused any question in connection with any matter which it is required to ascertain or consider under subsection (1) , (1A) , (1C) , (2) or (2YA) above or which is relevant to an application for the purposes of subsection (1) of the said section 275. The accused shall attend a first diet of which he has been given notice . . . A first diet may proceed , and a trial diet may be appointed, notwithstanding the absence of the accused. Where, however— the proceedings in which the first diet is being held are proceedings to which subsection (B1) above applies; the court has not ascertained (whether at that diet or earlier) that he has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at any relevant hearing in the course of the proceeding, a first diet may not proceed in his absence; and, in such a case, the court shall adjourn the diet and ordain the accused then to attend. Where the accused appears at the first diet, the accused is to be required at that diet to state how he pleads to the indictment, and section 77 of this Act shall apply where he tenders a plea of guilty. In subsections (A1) and (5A)(b), “relevant hearing” means— in relation to proceedings mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (B1), any hearing at, or for the purposes of, which a witness is to give evidence, in relation to proceedings mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection, a hearing referred to in section 288E(2A), in relation to proceedings mentioned in paragraph (c) of that subsection, a hearing in respect of which an order is made under section 288F. In this section and section 71B “the court” means the sheriff court. At a first diet, unless a plea of guilty is tendered and accepted, the court must— after complying with section 71, and subject to subsections (3) to (7), appoint a trial diet. Where a trial diet is appointed at a first diet, the accused must appear at the trial diet and answer the indictment. In appointing a trial diet under subsection (1), in any case in which the period specified in section 65(1)(b) applies (whether or not the period specified in section 65(4)(b)(ii) also applies in the case)— if the court considers that the case would be likely to be ready to proceed to trial within that period, it must, subject to subsections (5) to (7), appoint a trial diet for a date within that period, or if the court considers that the case would not be likely to be so ready, it must give the prosecutor an opportunity to make an application to the court under section 65(3) for an extension of the period specified in section 65(1)(b). Where paragraph (b) of subsection (3) applies— if such an application as is mentioned in that paragraph is made and granted, the court must, subject to subsections (5) to (7), appoint a trial diet for a date within the period specified in section 65(1)(b) as extended, or if no such application is made or if one is made but is refused by the court— the court may desert the first diet simpliciter or pro loco et tempore, and where the accused is committed until liberated in due course of law, the accused must be liberated forthwith. Subsection (6) applies in any case in which— the period specified in section 65(4)(b)(ii) as well as the 12 month period applies, and the court is required, by virtue of subsection (3)(a) or (4)(a) to appoint a trial diet within the period specified in section 65(1)(b). In such a case— if the court considers that the case would be likely to be ready to proceed to trial within the period specified in section 65(4)(b)(ii), it must appoint a trial diet for a date within that period as well as within the period specified in section 65(1)(b), or if the court considers that the case would not be likely to be so ready, it must give the prosecutor an opportunity to make an application under section 65(5) for an extension of the 140 day period. Where paragraph (b) of subsection (6) applies— if such an application as is mentioned in that paragraph is made and granted, the court must appoint a trial diet for a date within the period specified in section 65(4)(b)(ii) as extended as well as within the period specified in section 65(1)(b), the court must proceed under subsection (3)(a) or (as the case may be) (4)(a) to appoint a trial diet for a date within the 12 month period, and the accused is then entitled to be admitted to bail. Where an accused is, by virtue of subsection (7)(b)(ii), entitled to be admitted to bail, the court must, before admitting the accused to bail, give the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard. On appointing a trial diet under this section in a case where the accused has been admitted to bail (otherwise than by virtue of subsection (7)(b)(ii)), the court, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard— must review the conditions imposed on the accused's bail, and having done so, may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, fix bail on different conditions. In this section a reference to the period specified in section 65(1)(b) or section 65(4)(b)(ii) is to be construed as including that period as extended. Subsection (2) applies where— the accused is indicted to the sheriff court, and a solicitor— has notified the court under section 72F(1) that the solicitor has been engaged by the accused for the purposes of conducting the accused's defence, and has not subsequently been dismissed by the accused or withdrawn. The prosecutor and the accused's legal representative must, within the period described in subsection (3), communicate with each other and jointly prepare a written record of their state of preparation with respect to their cases (referred to in this section as “the written record”). The period referred to in subsection (2) begins on the day the accused is served with an indictment and expires at the end of the day falling 14 days later. The written record must— be in such form, or as nearly as may be in such form, contain such information, and be lodged in such manner, as may be prescribed by act of adjournal. The written record must state the manner in which the communication required by subsection (2) was conducted (for example, by telephone, email or a meeting in person). In subsection (2), “the accused's legal representative” means— the solicitor referred to in subsection (1), or where the solicitor has instructed counsel for the purposes of the conduct of the accused's case, either the solicitor or that counsel, or both of them. In subsection (6)(b), “counsel” includes a solicitor who has a right of audience in the High Court of Justiciary under section 25A of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980. A preliminary hearing shall be conducted in accordance with this section and section 72A. The court shall— where the accused is charged with an offence to which section 288C or 288DC of this Act applies; or in any case— in respect of which section 288E of this Act applies; or in which an order has been made under section 288F(2) of this Act, before taking any further step under this section, ascertain whether the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at or for the purposes of the preliminary hearing. After complying with subsection (2) above, the court shall dispose of any preliminary pleas (within the meaning of section 79(2)(a) of this Act) of which a party has given notice not less than 7 clear days before the preliminary hearing to the court and to the other parties. After disposing of any preliminary pleas under subsection (3) above, the court shall require the accused to state how he pleads to the indictment. If the accused tenders a plea of guilty, section 77 of this Act shall apply. After the accused has stated how he pleads to the indictment, the court shall, unless a plea of guilty is tendered and accepted— where the accused is charged with an offence to which section 288C or 288DC of this Act applies; ascertain whether the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of his defence at the trial; unless it considers it inappropriate to do so at the preliminary hearing, dispose of— any preliminary issues (within the meaning of section 79(2)(b) of this Act) of which a party has given notice not less than 7 clear days before the preliminary hearing to the court and to the other parties; any vulnerable witness notice under section 271A(2) or vulnerable witness application under section 271C(2) appointed to be disposed of at the preliminary hearing; subject to subsection (8) below, any application under section 275(1) or 288F(2) of this Act made before the preliminary hearing (to the extent that the application has not already been disposed of); and any other matter which, in the opinion of the court, could be disposed of with advantage before the trial; ascertain whether there is any objection to the admissibility of any evidence which any party wishes to raise despite not having given the notice referred to in paragraph (b)(i) above, and— if leave is granted, dispose of the objection unless it considers it inappropriate to do so at the preliminary hearing; ascertain which of the witnesses included in the list of witnesses are required by the prosecutor or the accused to attend the trial; ascertain whether subsection (7) below applies to any person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial or to the accused and, if so, consider whether it should make an order under section 271A(7) or 271D(2) of this Act in relation to the person or, as the case may be, the accused; and ascertain, so far as is reasonably practicable— the state of preparation of the prosecutor and the accused with respect to their cases; and to a person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial if that person is, or is likely to be, a vulnerable witness; Where any application or notice such as is mentioned in subsection (6)(b)(iii) above is required by the provision under which it is made or lodged, or by any other provision of this Act, to be made or lodged by a certain time, the court— shall not be required under that subsection to dispose of it unless it has been made or lodged by that time; but shall have power to dispose of it to the extent that the provision under which it was made, or any other provision of this Act, allows it to be disposed of notwithstanding that it was not made or lodged in time. Where the court decides not to dispose of any preliminary issue, application, notice, objection or other matter referred to in subsection (6)(b) or (c) above at the preliminary hearing, it may— appoint a further diet, to be held before the trial diet appointed under section 72A of this Act, for the purpose of disposing of the issue, application, notice, objection or matter; or appoint the issue, application, notice, objection or other matter to be disposed of at the trial diet. In any case in which subsection (6) of section 72 applies, the court shall, at the preliminary hearing— after complying with that subsection; having regard to earlier proceedings at the preliminary hearing; and subject to subsections (3) to (7) below, In appointing a trial diet under subsection (1) above, the court may, if satisfied that it is appropriate to do so, indicate that the diet is to be a floating diet for the purposes of section 83A of this Act. In any case in which the period specified in section 65(1)(b) applies (whether or not the period specified in section 65(4)(aa)(ii) also applies in the case)— if the court considers that the case would be likely to be ready to proceed to trial within that period, it shall, subject to subsections (5) to (7) below, appoint a trial diet for a date within that period; or if the court considers that the case would not be likely to be so ready, it shall give the prosecutor an opportunity to make an application to the court under section 65(3) of this Act for an extension of the period specified in section 65(1)(b). Where paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above applies— if such an application as is mentioned in that paragraph is made and granted, the court shall, subject to subsections (5) to (7) below, appoint a trial diet for a date within the period specified in section 65(1)(b) as extended; or the court may desert the preliminary hearing simpliciter or pro loco et tempore; and where the accused is committed until liberated in due course of law, he shall be liberated forthwith. Subsection (6) below applies in any case in which— the period specified in section 65(4)(aa)(ii) as well as the period specified in section 65(1)(b) applies; and the court is required, by virtue of subsection (3)(a) or (4)(a) above, to appoint a trial diet within the period specified in section 65(1)(b). if the court considers that the case would be likely to be ready to proceed to trial within the period specified in section 65(4)(aa)(ii), it shall appoint a trial diet for a date within that period as well as within the period specified in section 65(1)(b); or if the court considers that the case would not be likely to be so ready, it shall give the prosecutor an opportunity to make an application under section 65(5) of this Act for an extension of the 140 day period. Where paragraph (b) of subsection (6) above applies— if such an application as is mentioned in that paragraph is made and granted, the court shall appoint a trial diet for a date within the period specified in section 65(4)(aa)(ii) as extended as well as within the period specified in section 65(1)(b); the court shall proceed under subsection (3)(a) or, as the case may be, (4)(a) above to appoint a trial diet for a date within the period specified in section 65(1)(b); and the accused shall then be entitled to be admitted to bail. Where an accused is, by virtue of subsection (7)(b)(ii) above, entitled to be admitted to bail, the court shall, before admitting him to bail, give the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard. On appointing a trial diet under this section in a case where the accused has been admitted to bail (otherwise than by virtue of subsection (7)(b)(ii) above), the court, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard— shall review the conditions imposed on his bail; and In this section a reference to the period specified in section 65(1)(b) or section 65(4)(aa)(ii) is to be construed as including that period as extended. The court may, on an application made to it jointly by the parties, dispense with a preliminary hearing and appoint a trial diet if the court is satisfied on the basis of the application that— the state of preparation of the prosecutor and the accused with respect to their cases is such that the case is likely to be ready to proceed to trial on the date to be appointed for the trial diet; there are no preliminary pleas, preliminary issues or other matters which require to be, or could with advantage be, disposed of before the trial; and there are no persons to whom section 72(7) of this Act applies. An application under subsection (1) above shall identify which (if any) of the witnesses included in the list of witnesses are required by the prosecutor or the accused to attend the trial. Where a trial diet is to be appointed under subsection (1) above, it shall be appointed in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Where a trial diet is appointed under subsection (1) above, the accused shall appear at the diet and answer the indictment. The fact that a preliminary hearing in any case has been dispensed with under subsection (1) above shall not affect the calculation in that case of any time limit for the giving of any notice or the doing of any other thing under this Act, being a time limit fixed by reference to the preliminary hearing. Accordingly, any such time limit shall have effect in any such case as if it were fixed by reference to the date on which the preliminary hearing would have been held if it had not been dispensed with. The prosecutor shall not raise a fresh libel in any case in which the court has deserted a preliminary hearing simpliciter unless the court’s decision has been reversed on appeal. Where a preliminary hearing is deserted pro loco et tempore, the court may appoint a further preliminary hearing for a later date and the accused shall appear and answer the indictment at that hearing. Subsection (4) below applies where, at a preliminary hearing— the hearing has been deserted pro loco et tempore for any reason and no further preliminary hearing has been appointed under subsection (2) above; or the indictment is for any reason not proceeded with and the hearing has not been adjourned or postponed. Where this subsection applies, the prosecutor may, at any time within the period of two months after the relevant date, give notice to the accused on another copy of the indictment to appear and answer the indictment— at a further preliminary hearing in the High Court not less than seven clear days after the date of service of the notice; or at— a first diet not less than 15 clear days after the service of the notice and not less than 10 clear days before the trial diet; and a trial diet not less than 29 clear days after the service of the notice, in the sheriff court where the charge is one that can lawfully be tried in that court. where the charge is one that can lawfully be tried in the sheriff court, at a first diet in that court not less than 29 clear days after the service of the notice. Where notice is given to the accused under subsection (4)(b) above, then for the purposes of section 65(4) of this Act— the giving of the notice shall be taken to be service of an indictment in respect of the sheriff court; and the previous service of the indictment in respect of the High Court shall be disregarded. In subsection (4) above, “the relevant date” means— where paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above applies, the date on which the diet was deserted as mentioned in that paragraph; or where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the date of the preliminary hearing referred to in that paragraph. A notice referred to in subsection (4) above shall be in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form. The court may, on cause shown, allow a preliminary hearing to proceed notwithstanding the absence of the accused. the accused is a body corporate; it fails to appear at a preliminary hearing; the court allows the hearing to proceed in its absence under subsection (1) above; and no plea is entered on its behalf at the hearing, it shall be treated for the purposes of proceedings at the preliminary hearing as having pled not guilty. Where, at a preliminary hearing, a trial diet is appointed, the accused shall appear at the trial diet and answer the indictment. At a preliminary hearing, the court— shall take into account any written record lodged under section 72E of this Act; and may ask the prosecutor and the accused any question in connection with any matter which it is required to dispose of or ascertain under section 72 of this Act. The proceedings at a preliminary hearing shall be recorded by means of shorthand notes or by mechanical means. Subsections (2) to (4) of section 93 of this Act shall apply for the purposes of the recording of proceedings at a preliminary hearing in accordance with subsection (5) above as they apply for the purposes of the recording of proceedings at the trial in accordance with subsection (1) of that section. The Clerk of Justiciary shall prepare, in such form and manner as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, a minute of proceedings at a preliminary hearing, which shall record, in particular, whether any preliminary pleas or issues were disposed of and, if so, how they were disposed of. In this section, references to a preliminary hearing include an adjourned preliminary hearing. In this section and sections 72 to 72C, “the court” means the High Court. This section applies where, in any proceedings in the High Court, a solicitor has notified the Court under section 72F(1) of this Act that he has been engaged by the accused for the purposes of the conduct of his case at the preliminary hearing. The prosecutor and the accused’s legal representative shall, not less than two days before the preliminary hearing— communicate with each other with a view to jointly preparing a written record of their state of preparation with respect to their cases (referred to in this section as “the written record”); and lodge the written record with the Clerk of Justiciary. The High Court may, on cause shown, allow the written record to be lodged after the time referred to in subsection (2) above. The written record shall— be in such form, or as nearly as may be in such form; contain such information; and as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. The written record may contain, in addition to the information required by virtue of subsection (4)(b) above, such other information as the prosecutor and the accused’s legal representative consider appropriate. “the accused’s legal representative” means— the solicitor referred to in subsection (1) above; or where the solicitor has instructed counsel for the purposes of the conduct of the accused’s case at the preliminary hearing, either the solicitor or that counsel, or both of them; and “counsel” includes a solicitor who has a right of audience in the High Court of Justiciary under section 25A (rights of audience in various courts including the High Court of Justiciary) of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980 (c. 46). In any solemn proceedings , it is the duty of a solicitor who is engaged by the accused for the purposes of his defence at any part of the proceedings to notify the court and the prosecutor of that fact forthwith in writing. A solicitor is to be taken to have complied with the duty under subsection (1) to notify the prosecutor of his engagement if, before service of the indictment, he— notified in writing the procurator fiscal for the district in which the charge against the accused was then being investigated that he was then engaged by the accused for the purposes of his defence; and had not notified that procurator fiscal in writing that he had been dismissed by the accused or had withdrawn from acting. Where any such solicitor as is referred to in subsection (1) above— is dismissed by the accused; or withdraws, it is the duty of the solicitor to inform the court and the prosecutor of those facts forthwith in writing. The prosecutor shall, for the purposes of subsections (1) and (3), be taken to be notified or informed of any fact in accordance with those subsections if— in proceedings in the High Court, the Crown Agent; or in solemn proceedings in the sheriff court, the procurator fiscal for the district in which the trial diet is to be held, is so notified or, as the case may be, informed of the fact. On being informed in accordance with subsection (3) above of the dismissal or withdrawal of the accused’s solicitor in any case to which subsections (6) and (7) below apply, the court shall order that, before the trial diet, there shall be a further pre-trial diet under this section. This subsection applies to any case— in which an order has been made under section 288F(2) of this Act. This subsection applies to any case in which— the solicitor was engaged for the purposes of the defence of the accused— in the case of proceedings in the High Court, at the time of a preliminary hearing or, if a preliminary hearing was dispensed with under section 72B(1) of this Act, at the time it was so dispensed with; in the case of solemn proceedings in the sheriff court, at the time of a first diet; at the time of a diet under this section; or in the case of a diet which, under subsection (11) below, is dispensed with, at the time when it was so dispensed with; and the court is informed as mentioned in subsection (3) above after that time but before the trial diet. At a diet under this section, the court shall ascertain whether or not the accused has engaged another solicitor for the purposes of his defence at the trial. A diet under this section shall be not less than 10 clear days before the trial diet. A court may, at a diet under this section, postpone the trial diet for such period as appears to it to be appropriate and may, if it thinks fit, direct that such period (or some part of it) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. The court may dispense with a diet under this section previously ordered, but only if a solicitor engaged by the accused for the purposes of the defence of the accused at the trial has, in writing— confirmed his engagement for that purpose; and requested that the diet be dispensed with. Where a preliminary diet is ordered, subject to subsection (2) below, the accused shall attend it, and he shall be required at the conclusion of the diet to state how he pleads to the indictment. The court may permit the diet to proceed notwithstanding the absence of an accused. At a preliminary diet the court shall, in addition to disposing of any matter specified in a notice given under subsection (1) of section 72 of this Act or referred to in subsection (3) of that section or to considering an application for the purposes of subsection (1) of section 275 of this Act, ascertain, so far as is reasonably practicable, whether the case is likely to proceed to trial on the date assigned as the trial diet and, in particular— At a preliminary diet the court may ask the prosecutor and the accused any question in connection with any matter specified in a notice under subsection (1) of the said section 72 or referred to in subsection (3) of that section or which is relevant to an application for the purposes of subsection (1) of the said section 275 or which it is required to ascertain under subsection (3) above. Where at a preliminary diet the court concludes that the case is unlikely to proceed to trial on the date assigned for the trial diet, the court— shall, unless having regard to previous proceedings in the case it considers it inappropriate to do so, postpone the trial diet; and may fix a further preliminary diet. Subject to subsection (5) above, the court may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, adjourn a preliminary diet. Where an objection is taken to the relevancy of the indictment under subsection (1)(a)(i) of the said section 72, the clerk of court shall minute whether the objection is sustained or repelled and sign the minute. In subsection (1) above, the reference to the accused shall, without prejudice to section 6(c) of the Interpretation Act 1978, in any case where there is more than one accused include a reference to all of them. Without prejudice to any right of appeal under section 106 or 108 a party may, in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, appeal to the High Court against a decision at a first diet or a preliminary hearing. An appeal under subsection (1) above— may not be taken against a decision to adjourn the first diet or, as the case may be, preliminary hearing or to accelerate or postpone the trial diet; may not be taken against a decision taken by virtue of section 35 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016; may not be taken against a decision taken by virtue of— in the case of a first diet, section 71(1A), in the case of a preliminary hearing, section 72(6)(e), of this Act; may not be taken against a decision at a preliminary hearing, in appointing a trial diet, to appoint or not to appoint it as a floating diet for the purposes of section 83A(2) of this Act; must be taken not later than seven days after the decision. An appeal under subsection (1) may be taken— in the case of a decision to dismiss the indictment or any part of it, by the prosecutor without the leave of the court, in any other case, only with the leave of the court of first instance (granted on the motion of a party or ex proprio motu). Where an appeal is taken under subsection (1) above, the High Court may postpone any trial diet that has been appointed for such period as appears to it to be appropriate and may, if it thinks fit, direct that such period (or some part of it) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. Where an appeal is taken under subsection (1) above against a decision at a preliminary hearing, the High Court may adjourn, or further adjourn, the preliminary hearing for such period as appears to it to be appropriate and may, if it thinks fit, direct that such period (or some part of it) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. In disposing of an appeal under subsection (1) above the High Court— may affirm the decision of the court of first instance or may remit the case to it with such directions in the matter as it thinks fit; . . . where the court of first instance has dismissed the indictment or any part of it, may reverse that decision and direct that the court of first instance fix where the indictment is in respect of the High Court, a further preliminary hearing; or where the indictment is in respect of the sheriff court, a trial diet, if it has not already fixed one as regards so much of the indictment as it has not dismissed. may on cause shown extend the period mentioned in section 65(1) of this Act. Where the last day of any period mentioned in section 66(6), 67(3), 71C(3) . . . or 74 of this Act falls on a Saturday, Sunday or court holiday, such period shall extend to and include the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or court holiday. This section applies where any diet has been fixed in any proceedings on indictment. The court may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, adjourn the diet. However— in the case of a trial diet, the court may adjourn the diet under subsection (2) above only if the indictment is not brought to trial at the diet; if the court adjourns any diet under that subsection by reason only that, following enquiries for the purpose of ascertaining whether the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his defence at or for the purposes of a preliminary hearing or at a trial, it appears to the court that he has not done so, the adjournment shall be for a period of not more than 48 hours. A trial diet in the High Court may be adjourned under subsection (2) above to a diet to be held at a sitting of the Court in another place. The court may, on the application of any party to the proceedings made at any time before commencement of any diet— discharge the diet; and fix a new diet for a date earlier or later than that for which the discharged diet was fixed. Before determining an application under subsection (5) above, the court shall give the parties an opportunity to be heard. However, where all the parties join in an application under that subsection, the court may determine the application without hearing the parties and, accordingly, may dispense with any hearing previously appointed for the purpose of subsection (6) above. Where there is a hearing for the purpose of subsection (6) above, the accused shall attend it unless the court permits the hearing to proceed notwithstanding the absence of the accused. In appointing a new trial diet under subsection (5)(b) above, the court— shall have regard to the state of preparation of the prosecutor and the accused with respect to their cases and, in particular, to the likelihood of the case being ready to proceed to trial on the date to be appointed for the trial diet; and may, if it appears to the court that there are any preliminary pleas, preliminary issues or other matters which require to be, or could with advantage be, disposed of or ascertained before the trial, appoint a diet to be held before the trial diet for the purpose of disposing of or, as the case may be, ascertaining them. A date for a new diet may be fixed under subsection (5)(b) above notwithstanding that the holding of the diet on that date would result in any provision of this Act as to the minimum or maximum period within which the diet is to be held or to commence not being complied with. In subsections (5) to (9) above, “the court” means— in the case of proceedings in the High Court, a single judge of that Court; and in the case of proceedings in the sheriff court, that court. For the purposes of subsection (5) above— a diet other than a trial diet shall be taken to commence when it is called; and a trial diet shall be taken to commence when the jury is sworn. This section applies where in any proceedings on indictment any diet has been fixed for a non-sitting day. The court may at any time before the non-sitting day— That is, by acting— of the court's own accord; and without the need for a hearing for the purpose. In the case of a trial diet— the accused, shall be entitled to an adjournment of the new diet fixed if the court is satisfied that it is not practicable for that party to proceed with the case on that date. The power of the court under subsection (1) above is not exercisable for the sole purpose of ensuring compliance with a time limit applying in the proceedings. In subsections (1) and (2) above, a “non-sitting day” is a day on which the court is under this Act not required to sit. In subsections (2) to (5) above, “the court” means— in the case of proceedings in the High Court, a single judge of that Court; Where in any proceedings on indictment any diet has been fixed for a day which is no longer suitable to the court, it may, of its own accord, at any time before that diet— In subsection (1), “the court” means— Where an accused intimates in writing to the Crown Agent that he intends to plead guilty and desires to have his case disposed of at once, the accused may be served with an indictment (unless one has already been served) and a notice to appear at a diet of the appropriate court not less than four clear days after the date of the notice; and it shall not be necessary to lodge or give notice of any list of witnesses or productions. In subsection (1) above, “appropriate court” means— in a case where at the time of the intimation mentioned in that subsection an indictment had not been served, either the High Court or the sheriff court; and in any other case, the court specified in the notice served under section 66(6) of this Act on the accused. If at any such diet the accused pleads not guilty to the charge or pleads guilty only to a part of the charge, and the prosecutor declines to accept such restricted plea, the diet shall be desertedpro loco et tempore and thereafter the cause may proceed in accordance with the other provisions of this Part of this Act; except that in a case mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above the court may postpone the trial diet or, where the accused has been indicted to the High Court, , the first diet or (as the case may be) the preliminary hearing and the period of such postponement shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. Where at any diet the accused tenders a plea of guilty to the indictment or any part thereof he shall do so in open court .... Where the plea is to part only of the charge and the prosecutor does not accept the plea, such non-acceptance shall be recorded. Where an accused charged on indictment with any offence tenders a plea of guilty to any other offence of which he could competently be found guilty on the trial of the indictment, and that plea is accepted by the prosecutor, it shall be competent to convict the accused of the offence to which he has so pled guilty and to sentence him accordingly. It shall not be competent for an accused to state a special defence or to lead evidence calculated to exculpate the accused by incriminating a co-accused unless— a plea of special defence or, as the case may be, notice of intention to lead such evidence has been lodged and intimated in writing in accordance with subsection (3) below. . . the court, on cause shown, otherwise directs. Subsection (1) does not apply where— the accused lodges a defence statement under section 70A, and the accused's defence consists of or includes a special defence. Subsection (1) above shall apply to a plea of diminished responsibility or to a defence of automatism , coercion or, in a prosecution for an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, consent as if it were a special defence. In subsection (2) above, the reference to a defence of consent is a reference to the defence which is stated by reference to the complainer’s consent to the act which is the subject matter of the charge or the accused’s belief as to that consent. In subsection (2A) above, “complainer” has the same meaning as in section 274 of this Act. A plea or notice is lodged and intimated in accordance with this subsection— where the case is to be tried in the High Court , by lodging the plea or notice with the Clerk of Justiciary and by intimating the plea or notice to the Crown Agent and to any co-accused not less than seven clear days before the preliminary hearing ; where the case is to be tried in the sheriff court , by lodging the plea or notice with the sheriff clerk and by intimating it to the procurator fiscal and to any co-accused at or before the first diet. It shall not be competent for the accused to examine any witnesses or to put in evidence any productions not included in the lists lodged by the prosecutor unless— written notice of the names and addresses of such witnesses and of such productions has been given— where the case is to be tried in the sheriff court, to the procurator fiscal of the district of the trial diet at or before the first diet; and where the case is to be tried in the High Court, to the Crown Agent at least seven clear days before the preliminary hearing A copy of every written notice required by subsection (4) above shall be lodged by the accused with the sheriff clerk of the district in which the trial diet is to be held, or in any case the trial diet of which is to be held in the High Court in Edinburgh with the Clerk of Justiciary, at or before where the case is to be tried in the High Court, the preliminary hearing; where the case is to be tried in the sheriff court, the trial diet, for the use of the court. . Except by leave of the court on cause shown, no preliminary plea or preliminary issue shall be made, raised or submitted in any proceedings on indictment by any party unless his intention to do so has been stated in a notice under section 71(2) or, as the case may be, 72(3) or (6)(b)(i) of this Act. Subsection (1) is subject to section 271Q(8). For the purposes of this section and those sections— the following are preliminary pleas, namely— a matter relating to the competency or relevancy of the indictment; an objection to the validity of the citation against a party, on the ground of any discrepancy between the record copy of the indictment and the copy served on him, or on account of any error or deficiency in such service copy or in the notice of citation; and a plea in bar of trial; and the following are preliminary issues, namely— an application for separation or conjunction of charges or trials; a preliminary objection under any of the provisions listed in subsection (3A); an application for a witness anonymity order under section 271P of this Act; an objection by a party to the admissibility of any evidence; an assertion by a party that there are documents the truth of the contents of which ought to be admitted, or that there is any other matter which in his view ought to be agreed; and any other point raised by a party, as regards any matter not mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) to (v) above, which could in his opinion be resolved with advantage before the trial. No discrepancy, error or deficiency such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a)(ii) above shall entitle an accused to object to plead to the indictment unless the court is satisfied that the discrepancy, error or deficiency tended substantially to mislead and prejudice the accused. For the purpose of subsection (2)(b)(ii), the provisions are— section 27(4A)(a) or (4B), 90C(2A), 255 or 255A of this Act, section 9(6) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 or that section as applied by section 234AA(11) of this Act, paragraph 6(5)(b) of schedule 1 to the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016. section 1A(2)(b) of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 or section 7(2)(b) of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018. Where the court, under subsection (1) above, grants leave for a party to make, raise or submit a preliminary plea or preliminary issue (other than an objection to the admissibility of any evidence) without his intention to do so having been stated in a notice as required by that subsection, the court may— if it considers it appropriate to do so, appoint a diet to be held before the trial diet for the purpose of disposing of the plea or issue; or appoint the plea or issue to be disposed of at the trial diet. This section applies where a party seeks to raise an objection to the admissibility of any evidence after— in proceedings in the High Court, the preliminary hearing; or in proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court, the first diet. The court shall not, under section 79(1) of this Act, grant leave for the objection to be raised if the party seeking to raise it has not given written notice of his intention to do so to the other parties. However, the court may, where the party seeks to raise the objection after the commencement of the trial, dispense with the requirement under subsection (2) above for written notice to be given. Where the party seeks to raise the objection after the commencement of the trial, the court shall not, under section 79(1) of this Act, grant leave for the objection to be raised unless it considers that it could not reasonably have been raised before that time. Where the party seeks to raise the objection before the commencement of the trial and the court, under section 79(1), grants leave for it to be raised, the court shall— if it considers it appropriate to do so, appoint a diet to be held before the commencement of the trial for the purpose of disposing of the objection; or dispose of the objection at the trial diet. In appointing a diet under subsection (5)(a) above, the court may postpone the trial diet for such period as appears to it to be appropriate and may, if it thinks fit, direct that such period (or some part of it) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. The accused shall appear at any diet appointed under subsection (5)(a) above. For the purposes of this section, the trial shall be taken to commence when the jury is sworn. The prosecutor shall not raise a fresh libel in a case in which the court has deserted the trial simpliciter unless the court’s decision has been reversed on appeal. Where a trial diet in any proceedings on indictment is deserted pro loco et tempore the court may appoint a further trial diet for a later date and the accused shall appear and answer the indictment at that diet. In appointing a further trial diet under subsection (2) above, the court— may, if it appears to the court that there are any preliminary pleas, preliminary issues or other matters which require to be, or could with advantage be, disposed of or ascertained before the trial diet, appoint a diet to be held before the trial diet for the purpose of disposing of or, as the case may be, ascertaining them. Subsection (5) below applies where, in any proceedings on indictment in which a trial diet has been appointed ...— the diet has been deserted pro loco et tempore for any reason and no further trial diet has been appointed under subsection (2) above;

or the indictment falls or is for any other reason not brought to trial and the diet has not been continued, adjourned or postponed. where the trial diet referred to in subsection (4) above was in the High Court— at a further preliminary hearing in that Court not less than seven clear days after service of the notice; or where the charge is one that can lawfully be tried in the sheriff court, at a first diet in that court not less than 21 clear days after service of the notice; or where the trial diet referred to in subsection (4) was in the sheriff court— at a first diet in that court not less than seven clear days after service of the notice; or at a preliminary hearing in the High Court not less than 21 clear days after service of the notice. Where notice is given to the accused under paragraph (a)(ii) or (b)(ii) of subsection (5) above, then for the purposes of section 65(4) of this Act— the giving of the notice shall be taken to be service of an indictment in respect of— in the case of a notice under paragraph (a)(ii) of subsection (5) above, the sheriff court; or in the case of a notice under paragraph (b)(ii) of that subsection, the High Court; and the previous service of the indictment in respect of— in the case of a notice under paragraph (a)(ii) of subsection (5), the High Court; or in the case of a notice under paragraph (b)(ii) of that subsection, the sheriff court, shall be disregarded. A notice under subsection (5) above shall be in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form. In subsection (5) above, “the relevant date” means— where paragraph (a) of subsection (4) applies, the date on which the trial diet was deserted as mentioned in that paragraph; or where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the date of the trial diet referred to in that subsection. a diet is deserted pro loco et tempore; a diet is continued, accelerated, postponed or adjourned; or an order is issued changing the place at which the trial is to take place, the warrant of committal on which the accused is at the time in custody till liberated in due course of law shall continue in force. Where an accused person has been cited to attend a diet of the sheriff court the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to a sheriff court in another district in that sheriffdom . . . and for adjournment to a diet of that court . an accused person has been cited to attend a diet of the sheriff court; or paragraph (a) above does not apply but it is competent so to cite an accused person, and the prosecutor is informed by the sheriff clerk that, because of exceptional circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen, it is not practicable for that court (in subsection (2A)(b)(i) below referred to as the “relevant court”) or any other sheriff court in that sheriffdom to proceed with the case, the prosecutor— may, where paragraph (b) above applies, so cite the accused; and shall, where paragraph (a) above applies or the accused is so cited by virtue of paragraph (i) above, as soon as practicable apply to the sheriff principal for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to a sheriff court in another sheriffdom . . . and for adjournment to a diet of that court. On an application under subsection (1) above the sheriff may— after giving the accused or his counsel or solicitor an opportunity to be heard; or on the joint application of the parties, make such order as is mentioned in that subsection. On an application under subsection (1A) above the sheriff principal may make the order sought— provided that the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom consents; but in a case where the trial (or part of the trial) would be transferred, shall do so only— if the sheriff of the relevant court, after giving the accused or his counsel an opportunity to be heard, consents to the transfer; or on the joint application of the parties. On the application of the prosecutor, a sheriff principal who has made an order under subsection (2A) above may, if the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom mentioned in that subsection consents— revoke; or vary so as to restrict the effect of, that order. The sheriff may proceed under subsection (2) above on a joint application of the parties without hearing the parties and, accordingly, he may dispense with any hearing previously appointed for the purposes of considering the application. Where, because of exceptional circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen, it is not practicable for a sheriff court in a sheriffdom to proceed with some or all of the proceedings on indictment due to call at a diet, the sheriff principal may, of the sheriff principal’s own accord, make an order for— the transfer of the proceedings to a sheriff court in any other district in that sheriffdom; and adjournment to a diet of that court. Where, in any case which is to be tried in the High Court, the trial diet does not commence on the day appointed for the holding of the diet, the indictment shall fall. However, where, in appointing a day for the holding of the trial diet, the Court has indicated that the diet is to be a floating diet, the diet and, if it is adjourned, the adjourned diet may, without having been commenced, be continued from sitting day to sitting day— by minute, in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, signed by the Clerk of Justiciary; and up to such maximum number of sitting days after the day originally appointed for the trial diet as may be so prescribed. If such a trial diet or adjourned diet is not commenced by the end of the last sitting day to which it may be continued by virtue of subsection (2)(b) above, the indictment shall fall. For the purposes of this section, a trial diet or adjourned trial diet shall be taken to commence when it is called. In this section, “sitting day” means any day on which the court is sitting, but does not include any Saturday or Sunday or any day which is a court holiday. In the sheriff court a trial diet and, if it is adjourned, the adjourned diet, may, without having been commenced, be continued from sitting day to sitting day— by minute, in such form as may be prescribed by act of adjournal, signed by the sheriff clerk, The indictment falls if a trial diet, or adjourned diet, is not commenced by the end of the last sitting day to which it may be continued by virtue of subsection (1). For the purposes of this section, a trial diet or adjourned trial diet is to be taken to commence when it is called. In this section, “sitting day” means any day on which the court is sitting but does not include any Saturday or Sunday or any day which is a court holiday. For the purposes of a trial, the sheriff principal shall return such number of jurors as he thinks fit or, in relation to a trial in the High Court, such other number as the Lord Justice Clerk or any Lord Commissioner of Justiciary may direct. The Lord Justice General, whom failing the Lord Justice Clerk, may give directions as to the areas from which and the proportions in which jurors are to be summoned for trials to be held in the High Court, and for any such trial the sheriff principal of the sheriffdom in which the trial is to take place shall requisition the required number of jurors from the areas and in the proportions so specified. Where a sitting of the High Court is to be held at a town in which the High Court does not usually sit, the jury summoned to try any case in such a sitting shall be summoned from the lists of potential jurors of the sheriff court district in which the town is situated. For the purpose of a trial in the sheriff court, the sheriff principal must furnish the clerk of court with a list of names, containing the number of persons required, from lists of potential jurors of— the sheriff court district in which the trial is to be held (the “local district”), and if the sheriff principal considers it appropriate, any other sheriff court district or districts in the sheriffdom in which the trial is to be held (“other districts”). Where the sheriff principal furnishes a list containing names of potential jurors of other districts, the sheriff principal may determine the proportion as between the local district and the other districts in which jurors are to be summoned. The sheriff principal, in any return of jurors made by him to a court, shall take the names in regular order, beginning at the top of the lists of potential jurors in each of the sheriff court districts, as required; and as often as a juror is returned to him, he shall mark or cause to be marked, in the lists of potential jurors of the respective sheriff court districts the date when any such juror was returned to serve; and in any such return he shall commence with the name immediately after the last in the preceding return, without regard to the court to which the return was last made, and taking the subsequent names in the order in which they are entered, as directed by this subsection, and so to the end of the lists respectively. Where a person whose name has been entered in the lists of potential jurors dies, or ceases to be qualified to serve as a juror, the sheriff principal, in making returns of jurors in accordance with the Jurors (Scotland) Act 1825, shall pass over the name of that person, but the date at which his name has been so passed over, and the reason therefor, shall be entered at the time in the lists of potential jurors. The persons to serve as jurors at trials in the High Court sitting at a particular place on a particular day shall be listed and their names and addresses shall be inserted in one roll . . . , and the list made up under this section shall be known as the “list of assize”. When more than one case is set down for trial in the High Court sitting at a particular place on a particular day , it shall not be necessary to prepare more than one list of assize, and such list . . . shall be the list of assize for all trials to be held in the High Court sitting in that particular place on that particular day ; and the persons included in such list shall be summoned to serve generally for all such trials , and only one general execution of citation shall be returned against them; and a copy of the list of assize, certified by one of the clerks of court, shall have the like effect, for all purposes for which the list may be required, as the principal list of assize authenticated as aforesaid. No irregularity in— making up the lists in accordance with the provisions of this Act; transmitting the lists; summoning jurors; or in returning any execution of citation, shall constitute an objection to jurors whose names are included in the jury list, subject to the ruling of the court in relation to the effect of an objection as to any criminal act by which jurors may be returned to serve in any case contrary to this Act or the Jurors (Scotland) Act l825. It shall not be necessary to serve any list of jurors upon the accused, . . .. A list of jurors shall— be prepared and kept in such form and manner; and contain such minimum number of names, The clerk of the court before which the trial is take place shall, on an application made to him by or on behalf of an accused, supply the accused, free of charge, on the day on which the trial diet is called, and before the oath has been administered to the jurors for the trial of the accused, with a copy of a list of jurors prepared under subsection (2) above. Where an accused has been supplied under subsection (2A) above with a list of jurors— neither he nor any person acting on his behalf shall make a copy of that list, or any part thereof; and he or his representative shall return the list to the clerk of the court after the oath has been administered to the jurors for his trial. A person who fails to comply with subsection (2B) above shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale. It shall not be necessary to summon all the jurors contained in any list of jurors under this Act, but it shall be competent to summon such jurors only, commencing from the top of the list, as may be necessary to ensure a sufficient number for the trial of the cases which remain for trial at the date of the citation of the jurors, and such number shall be fixed by the clerk of the court in which the trial diet is to be called, or in any case in the High Court by the Clerk of Justiciary, and the jurors who are not so summoned shall be placed upon the next list issued, until they have attended to serve. The sheriff clerk of— the sheriffdom in which the High Court is to sit, or the sheriff court district in which a trial in the sheriff court is to be held, shall fill up and sign a proper citation addressed to each . . . juror, and shall cause the same to be transmitted to him by letter, sent to him at his place of residence as stated in the lists of potential jurors ... or to be served on him by an officer of law; and a certificate under the hand of such sheriff clerk of the citation of any jurors or juror in the manner provided in this subsection shall be a legal citation. Citation of a juror may also be effected by an electronic citation which is sent— by or on behalf of the sheriff clerk; and by means of electronic communication, to the home or business email address of the juror. Citation under subsection (4A) above is a legal citation if the sheriff clerk possesses a legible version of an electronic communication which— is signed by electronic signature by the person who signed the citation; includes the citation; and bears to have been sent to the home or business email address of the juror being cited. In subsection (4A) above, an “electronic citation” is a citation in electronic form which— is capable of being kept in legible form; and is signed by electronic signature by or on behalf of the sheriff clerk. The sheriff clerk of the sheriffdom in which the High Court is to sit on any particular day shall issue citations to the whole jurors required for trials to be held in the High Court sitting in the sheriffdom on that day , whether the jurors reside in that or in any other sheriffdom. Persons cited to attend as jurors may, unless they have been excused in respect thereof under section 1 or 1A of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act l980, be fined up to level 3 on the standard scale if they fail to attend in compliance with the citation. A fine imposed under subsection (6) above may, on application, be remitted— by a Lord Commissioner of Justiciary where imposed in the High Court; by the sheriff court where imposed in the sheriff court, and no court fees or expenses shall be exigible in respect of any such application. A person shall not be exempted by sex or marriage from the liability to serve as a juror. Where, before a juror is sworn to serve, the parties jointly apply for him to be excused the court shall, notwithstanding that no reason is given in the application, excuse that juror from service. Nothing in subsection (1) above shall affect the right of the accused or the prosecutor to object to any juror on cause shown. If any objection is taken to a juror on cause shown and such objection is founded on the want of sufficient qualification as provided by section 1(1) of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1980, such objection shall be proved only by the oath of the juror objected to. No objection to a juror shall be competent after he has been sworn to serve. Where the court is unable to proceed owing to the death, illness or absence of the presiding judge, the clerk of court may convene the court (if necessary) and— in a case where no evidence has been led, adjourn the diet and any other diet appointed for the same day to— a time later the same day, or a date not more than seven days later, when he believes a judge will be available; or a later date not more than two months after the date of the adjournment; or in a case where evidence has been led— adjourn the diet and any other diet appointed for the same day to a time later the same day, or a date not more than seven days later, when he believes a judge will be available; or with the consent of the parties, desert the diet pro loco et tempore. Where a diet has been adjourned under sub-paragraph (i) of either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above the clerk of court may, where the conditions of that subsection continue to be satisfied, further adjourn the diet under that sub-paragraph; but the total period of such adjournments shall not exceed seven days. Where a diet has been adjourned under subsection (1)(b)(i) above the court may, at the adjourned diet— further adjourn the diet; or desert the diet pro loco et tempore. Where a diet is deserted in pursuance of subsection (1)(b)(ii) or (3)(b) above, the Lord Advocate may raise and insist in a new indictment, and— where the accused is in custody it shall not be necessary to grant a new warrant for his incarceration, and the warrant or commitment on which he is at the time in custody till liberation in due course of law shall continue in force; and where the accused is at liberty on bail, his bail shall continue in force. any preliminary plea or issue; or in a case to be tried in the High Court, any application, notice or other matter referred to in section 72(6)(b)(iii) or (iv) of this Act, is to be disposed of at the trial diet, it shall be so disposed of before the jury is sworn, unless, where it is a preliminary issue consisting of an objection to the admissibility of any evidence, the court at the trial diet considers it is not capable of being disposed of before then. Where the accused pleads not guilty, the clerk of court shall record that fact and proceed to ballot the jury. The jurors for the trial shall be chosen in open court by ballot from the list of persons summoned in such manner as shall be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, and the persons so chosen shall be the jury to try the accused, and their names shall be recorded in the minutes of the proceedings. It shall not be competent for the accused or the prosecutor to object to a juror on the ground that the juror has not been duly cited to attend. Notwithstanding subsection (1) above, the jurors chosen for any particular trial may, when that trial is disposed of, without a new ballot serve on the trials of other accused, provided that— the accused and the prosecutor consent; the names of the jurors are contained in the list of jurors; and the jurors are duly sworn to serve on each successive trial. When the jury has been balloted, the clerk of court shall inform the jury of the charge against the accused— by reading the words of the indictment (with the substitution of the third person for the second); or if the presiding judge, because of the length or complexity of the indictment, so directs, by reading to the jury a summary of the charge approved by the judge, and copies of the indictment shall be provided for each member of the jury without lists of witnesses or productions. After reading the charge as mentioned in subsection (5) above and any special defence as mentioned in section 89(1) of this Act, the clerk of court shall administer the oath in common form. The court may excuse a juror from serving on a trial where the juror has stated the ground for being excused in open court. Where a trial which is proceeding is adjourned from one day to another, the jury shall not be secluded during the adjournment, unless, on the motion of the prosecutor or the accused or ex proprio motu the court sees fit to order that the jury be kept secluded. Subject to subsection (2) below, where the accused has lodged a plea of special defence, the clerk of court shall, after informing the jury, in accordance with section 88(5) of this Act, of the charge against the accused, and before administering the oath, read to the jury the plea of special defence. Where the presiding judge on cause shown so directs, the plea of special defence shall not be read over to the jury in accordance with subsection (1) above; and in any such case the judge shall inform the jury of the lodging of the plea and of the general nature of the special defence. Copies of a plea of special defence shall be provided for each member of the jury. This section applies where, in the course of a trial, a juror— dies, or is discharged by the court on the court being satisfied that it is for any reason inappropriate for the juror to continue to serve as a juror. The court may determine that the trial is to proceed before the remaining jurors provided that— there are at least 12 remaining jurors, and the court is satisfied that it is in the interests of justice that the trial proceed before the remaining jurors. Before determining whether the trial is to proceed, the court must give the prosecutor and the accused an opportunity to make representations on that question. Where a trial proceeds by virtue of subsection (2), the remaining jurors are a properly constituted jury for the purpose of the trial. In any proceedings on indictment, the court may, on the application of any of the parties, issue a warrant for the apprehension of a witness if subsection (2) or (3) below applies in relation to the witness. This subsection applies if the witness, having been duly cited to any diet in the proceedings, deliberately and obstructively fails to appear at the diet. This subsection applies if the court is satisfied by evidence on oath that the witness is being deliberately obstructive and is not likely to attend to give evidence at any diet in the proceedings without being compelled to do so. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, a witness who, having been duly cited to any diet, fails to appear at the diet is to be presumed, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, to have so failed deliberately and obstructively. An application under subsection (1) above— may be made orally or in writing; if made in writing— shall be in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form; and may be disposed of in court or in chambers after such inquiry or hearing (if any) as the court considers appropriate. A warrant issued under this section shall be in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. A warrant issued under this section in the form mentioned in subsection (6) above shall imply warrant to officers of law— to search for and apprehend the witness in respect of whom it is issued; to bring the witness before the court; in the meantime, to detain the witness in a police station, police cell or other convenient place; and so far as is necessary for the execution of the warrant, to break open shut and lockfast places. It shall not be competent, in any proceedings on indictment, for a court to issue a warrant for the apprehension of a witness otherwise than in accordance with this section. A person apprehended under a warrant issued under this section shall wherever practicable be brought before the court not later than in the course of the first day on which— in the case of a warrant issued by a single judge of the High Court, that Court; in any other case, the court, is sitting after he is taken into custody. In this section and section 90B, “the court” means . . . where the witness is to give evidence in proceedings in the High Court, a single judge of that Court; or where the witness is to give evidence in proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court, any sheriff court with jurisdiction in relation to the proceedings. Where a witness is brought before the court in pursuance of a warrant issued under section 90A of this Act, the court shall, after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard, make an order— detaining the witness until the conclusion of the diet at which the witness is to give evidence; releasing the witness on bail; or liberating the witness. The court may make an order under subsection (1)(a) or (b) above only if it is satisfied that— the order is necessary with a view to securing that the witness appears at the diet at which the witness is to give evidence; and it is appropriate in all the circumstances to make the order. Whenever the court makes an order under subsection (1) above, it shall state the reasons for the terms of the order. Subsection (1) above is without prejudice to any power of the court to— make a finding of contempt of court in respect of any failure of a witness to appear at a diet to which he has been duly cited; and dispose of the case accordingly. an order under subsection (1)(a) above has been made in respect of a witness; and at, but before the conclusion of, the diet at which the witness is to give evidence, the court in which the diet is being held excuses the witness, that court, on excusing the witness, may recall the order under subsection (1)(a) above and liberate the witness. On making an order under subsection (1)(b) above in respect of a witness, the court shall impose such conditions as it considers necessary with a view to securing that the witness appears at the diet at which he is to give evidence. However, the court may not impose as such a condition a requirement that the witness or a cautioner on his behalf deposit a sum of money in court. Where the court makes an order under subsection (1)(a) above in respect of a witness, the court shall, on the application of the witness— consider whether the imposition of a remote monitoring requirement would enable it to make an order under subsection (1)(b) above releasing the witness on bail subject to a movement restriction condition; and if so— make an order under subsection (1)(b) above releasing the witness on bail subject to such a condition (as well as such other conditions required to be imposed under subsection (5) above); and in the order, impose, as a further condition under subsection (5) above, a remote monitoring requirement. Subsections (7) to (19) of section 24A of this Act apply in relation to remote monitoring requirements imposed under subsection (7)(b)(ii) above and to the imposing of such requirements as they apply to remote monitoring requirements imposed under section 24A(1) or (2) of this Act and the imposing of such requirements, but with the following modifications— references to a remote monitoring requirement imposed under section 24A(1) or (2) of this Act shall be read as if they included references to a remote monitoring requirement imposed under subsection (7)(b)(ii) above; references to the accused shall be read as if they were references to the witness in respect of whom the order under subsection (1)(b) above is made. The powers conferred and duties imposed by sections 24B to 24D of this Act are exercisable in relation to remote monitoring requirements imposed under subsection (7)(b)(ii) above as they are exercisable in relation to remote monitoring requirements imposed under subsection (1) or (2) of section 24A of this Act; and— references in those sections to remote monitoring requirements shall be read accordingly; and references to the imposition of any requirement as a further condition of bail shall be read as if they were references to the imposition of the requirement as a further condition under subsection (5) above. Section 25 of this Act (which makes provision for an order granting bail to specify the conditions imposed on bail and the accused’s proper domicile of citation) shall apply in relation to an order under subsection (1)(b) above as it applies to an order granting bail, but with the following modifications— references to the accused shall be read as if they were references to the witness in respect of whom the order under subsection (1)(b) above is made; references to the order granting bail shall be read as if they were references to the order under subsection (1)(b) above; subsection (3) shall be read as if for the words from “relating” to “offence” in the third place where it occurs there were substituted at which the witness is to give evidence. “a movement restriction condition” means, in relation to a witness released on bail under subsection (1)(b) above, a condition imposed under subsection (5) above restricting the witness’s movements, including such a condition requiring the witness to be, or not to be, in any place or description of place for, or during, any period or periods or at any time; and “a remote monitoring requirement” means, in relation to a movement restriction condition, a requirement that compliance with the condition be remotely monitored. A witness who, having been released on bail by virtue of an order under subsection (1)(b) of section 90B of this Act, fails without reasonable excuse— to appear at any diet to which he has been cited; or to comply with any condition imposed under subsection (5) of that section, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to the penalties specified in subsection (2) below. Those penalties are— imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years. In any proceedings in relation to an offence under subsection (1) above, the fact that (as the case may be) a person— failed to appear at a diet; was cited to a diet, shall, unless challenged by giving notice of a preliminary objection in accordance with section 71(2) or 72(6)(b)(i) of this Act, be held as admitted. Subsection (4) below applies in proceedings against a witness for an offence under paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above where the condition referred to in that paragraph is— a movement restriction condition (within the meaning of section 90B(11) of this Act) in respect of which a remote monitoring requirement has been imposed under section 90B(7)(b)(ii) of this Act; or a requirement imposed under section 24D(3)(b)(as extended by section 90B(9)) of this Act. In proceedings in which this subsection applies, evidence of— in the case referred to in subsection (3)(a) above, the presence or absence of the witness at a particular place at a particular time; or in the case referred to in subsection (3)(b) above, any tampering with or damage to a device worn or carried by the witness for the purpose of remotely monitoring his whereabouts, may, subject to subsections (7) and (8) below, be given by the production of the document or documents referred to in subsection (5) below. That document or those documents is or are a document or documents bearing to be— a statement automatically produced by a device specified in regulations made under section 24D(4)(as extended by section 90B(9)) of this Act by which the witness’s whereabouts were remotely monitored; and a certificate signed by a person nominated for the purpose of this paragraph by the Scottish Ministers that the statement relates to— in the case referred to in subsection (3)(a) above, the whereabouts of the witness at the dates and times shown in the statement; or in the case referred to in subsection (3)(b) above, any tampering with or damage to the device. The statement and certificate mentioned in subsection (5) above shall, when produced in the proceedings, be sufficient evidence of the facts set out in them. Neither the statement nor the certificate mentioned in subsection (5) above shall be admissible in evidence unless a copy of both has been served on the witness prior to the trial. Without prejudice to subsection (7) above, where it appears to the court that the witness has had insufficient notice of the statement or certificate, it may adjourn the trial or make an order which it thinks appropriate in the circumstances. In subsections (7) and (8), “the trial” means the trial in the proceedings against the witness referred to in subsection (3) above. Section 28 of this Act shall apply in respect of a witness who has been released on bail by virtue of an order under section 90B(1)(b) of this Act as it applies to an accused released on bail, but with the following modifications— references to an accused shall be read as if they were references to the witness; in subsection (2), the reference to the court to which the accused’s application for bail was first made shall be read as if it were a reference to the court which made the order under section 90B(1)(b) of this Act in respect of the witness; and in subsection (4)— references to the order granting bail and original order granting bail shall be read as if they were references to the order under section 90B(1)(b) and the original such order respectively; paragraph (a) shall be read as if at the end there were inserted “and make an order under section 90B(1)(a) or (c) of this Act in respect of the witness”; and paragraph (c) shall be read as if for the words from “complies” to the end there were substituted “appears at the diet at which the witness is to give evidence”. Where a court has made an order under subsection (1)(a) of section 90B of this Act, the court may, on the application of the witness in respect of whom the order was made, . . . and after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard— recall the order; and make an order under subsection (1)(b) or (c) of that section in respect of the witness. Where a court has made an order under subsection (1)(b) of section 90B of this Act, the court may, after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard— on the application of the witness in respect of whom the order was made . . . — review the conditions imposed under subsection (5) of that section at the time the order was made; and make a new order under subsection (1)(b) of that section and impose different conditions under subsection (5) of that section; on the application of the party who made the application under section 90A(1) of this Act in respect of the witness, review the order and the conditions imposed under subsection (5) of section 90B at the time the order was made, and recall the order and make an order under subsection (1)(a) of that section in respect of the witness; or make a new order under subsection (1)(b) of that section and impose different conditions under subsection (5) of that section. The court may not review an order by virtue of subsection (1) or (2) above unless— in the case of an application by the witness, the circumstances of the witness have changed materially; or in that or any other case, the witness or party making the application puts before the court material information which was not available to it when it made the order which is the subject of the application. An application under this section by a witness— where it relates to the first order made under section 90B(1)(a) or (b) of this Act in respect of the witness, shall not be made before the fifth day after that order is made; where it relates to any subsequent such order, shall not be made before the fifteenth day after the order is made. On receipt of an application under subsection (2)(b) above the court shall— intimate the application to the witness in respect of whom the order which is the subject of the application was made; fix a diet for hearing the application and cite the witness to attend the diet; and where it considers that the interests of justice so require, grant warrant to arrest the witness. Nothing in this section shall affect any right of a person to appeal against an order under section 90B(1). Any of the parties specified in subsection (2) below may appeal to the High Court against— any order made under subsection (1)(a) or (c) of section 90B of this Act; or where an order is made under subsection (1)(b) of that section— the order; any of the conditions imposed under subsection (5) of that section on the making of the order; or both the order and any such conditions. The parties referred to in subsection (1) above are— the witness in respect of whom the order which is the subject of the appeal was made; the prosecutor; and the accused. A party making an appeal under subsection (1) above shall intimate it to the other parties specified in subsection (2) above and, for that purpose, intimation to the Crown Agent shall be sufficient intimation to the prosecutor. An appeal under this section shall be disposed of by the High Court or any Lord Commissioner of Justiciary in court or in chambers after such inquiry and hearing of the parties as shall seem just. Where the witness in respect of whom the order which is the subject of an appeal under this section was made is under 21 years of age, section 51 of this Act shall apply to the High Court or, as the case may be, the Lord Commissioner of Justiciary when disposing of the appeal as it applies to a court when remanding or committing a person of the witness’s age for trial or sentence. Every trial shall proceed from day to day until it is concluded unless the court sees cause to adjourn over a day or days. Without prejudice to section 54 of this Act, and subject to subsections (2) and (2A) below, no part of a trial shall take place outwith the presence of the accused. If during the course of his trial an accused so misconducts himself that in the view of the court a proper trial cannot take place unless he is removed, the court may order— that he is removed from the court for so long as his conduct makes it necessary; and that the trial proceeds in his absence, but if he is not legally represented the court shall appoint . . . a solicitor to represent his interests during such absence. after evidence has been led which substantially implicates the accused in respect of the offence charged in the indictment or, where two or more offences are charged in the indictment, any of them, the accused fails to appear at the trial diet; and the failure to appear occurred at a point in proceedings where the court is satisfied that it is in the interests of justice to do so, then the court may, on the motion of the prosecutor and after hearing the parties on the motion, proceed with the trial and dispose of the case in the absence of the accused. Where a motion is made under subsection (2A) above, the court shall— if satisfied that there is a solicitor with authority to act for the purposes of— representing the accused’s interests at the hearing on the motion; and if the motion is granted, the accused’s defence at the trial, allow that solicitor to act for those purposes; or if there is no such solicitor, at its own hand appoint a solicitor to act for those purposes. It is the duty of a solicitor appointed under subsection (2) or (2B)(b) above to act in the best interests of the accused. In all other respects, a solicitor so appointed has, and may be made subject to, the same obligations and has, and may be given, the same authority as if engaged by the accused; and any employment of and instructions given to counsel by the solicitor shall proceed and be treated accordingly. Where the court is satisfied that— a solicitor allowed to act under subsection (2B)(a) above no longer has authority to act; or a solicitor appointed under subsection (2) or (2B)(b) above is no longer able to act in the best interests of the accused, the court may relieve that solicitor and appoint another solicitor for the purposes referred to in subsection (2) or, as the case may be, (2B) above. Subsections (2B)(b) and (2E) above shall not apply in the case of proceedings— in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies; or in respect of an offence to which section 288DC of this Act applies; From the commencement of the leading of evidence in a trial for rape or the like the judge may, if he thinks fit, cause all persons other than the accused and counsel and solicitors to be removed from the court-room. references to a solicitor appointed under subsection (2) or (2B)(b) above include references to a solicitor appointed under subsection (2E) above; “ counsel ” includes, in relation to the High Court of Justiciary, a solicitor who has a right of audience in that Court under section 25A of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980 (c. 46). The proceedings at the trial of any person who, if convicted, is entitled to appeal under Part VIII of this Act, shall be recorded by means of shorthand notes or by mechanical means. A shorthand writer shall— sign the shorthand notes taken by him of such proceedings and certify them as being complete and correct; and retain the notes. A person recording such proceedings by mechanical means shall— certify that the record is true and complete; specify in the certificate the proceedings or, as the case may be, the part of the proceedings to which the record relates; and retain the record. The cost of making a record under subsection (1) above shall be defrayed, in accordance with scales of payment fixed for the time being by Treasury, out of money provided by Parliament. In subsection (1) above “proceedings at the trial” means the whole proceedings including, without prejudice to that generality— discussions— on any objection to the relevancy of the indictment; with respect to any challenge of jurors; and on all questions arising in the course of the trial; the decision of the court on any matter referred to in paragraph (a) above; the evidence led at the trial; any statement made by or on behalf of the accused whether before or after the verdict; the judge’s charge to the jury; the speeches of counsel or agent; the verdict of the jury; the sentence by the judge. The Clerk of Justiciary may direct that a transcript of a record made under section 93(1) of this Act, or any part thereof, be made and delivered to him for the use of any judge. Subject to subsection (3) below, the Clerk of Justiciary shall, if requested to do so by— the Secretary of State or, subject to subsection (2B) below, the prosecutor; or any other person , not being a person convicted at the trial, on payment of such charges as may be fixed for the time being by Treasury, direct that such a transcript be made and sent to the person who requested it. The Clerk of Justiciary must direct that such a transcript be made and sent to a complainer that has requested it, if the complainer was a complainer in a trial that— was of an offence as described in section 288C(2) (certain sexual offences), was in the High Court or the Sexual Offences Court, and commenced on or after 31 December 2006. on the written application of a person convicted at the trial and granted leave to appeal; and either of the conditions in subsection(2AZA) is met or it is otherwise in the interests of justice to do so, a judge of the High Court may order, and in that event the Clerk of Justiciary shall direct, on payment of such charges as are mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above, that such a transcript be made and sent to that person. The conditions mentioned in subsection(2A)(b) are that— a ground of appeal, for which leave to appeal has been granted, reveals a significant dispute between that ground and the report of the trial judge on the nature and extent of the evidence, speech or other part of the record to which the application relates; or the trial judge’s report does not, in relation to a ground of appeal for which leave to appeal has been granted, provide a sufficient narrative of the nature and extent of the evidence, speech or other part of the record to which the application relates. Subsection (2A) applies to a person mentioned in subsection (2AB) as it applies to a person convicted at the trial, with the modification that the reference to the transcript in subsection (2A) is to be construed as a reference to the transcript of the record made of proceedings at the trial resulting in the acquittal mentioned in subsection (2AB)(b). The person mentioned in subsection (2AA) is a person who— is convicted of the offence mentioned in subsection (1) of section 11 of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16)); is subsequently acquitted of an offence mentioned in subsection (2) of that section; and desires to appeal, under subsection (7) of that section, against the conviction of the offence mentioned in paragraph (a). Where, as respects any person convicted at the trial, the Crown Agent has received intimation under section 107(10) of this Act, the prosecutor shall not be entitled to make a request under subsection (2)(a) above; but if, on the written application of the prosecutor and on cause shown, a judge of the High Court so orders, the Clerk of Justiciary shall direct that such a transcript be made and sent to the prosecutor. Any application under subsection (2A) above shall— be made within 14 days after the date on which leave to appeal was granted or within such longer period after that date as a judge of the High Court may, on written application and on cause shown, allow; and set out, for each ground of appeal to which the application relates, the particular evidence, speech or other part of the record required; and be intimated forthwith by the applicant to the prosecutor. The prosecutor may, within 7 days after receiving intimation under subsection (2C)(b) above, make written representations to the court as respects the application under subsection (2A) above (the application being determined without a hearing). Any application under subsection (2B) above shall— be made within 14 days after the receipt of intimation mentioned in that subsection or within such longer period after that receipt as a judge of the High Court may, on written application and on cause shown, allow; and be intimated forthwith by the prosecutor to the person granted leave to appeal. The person granted leave to appeal may, within 7 days after receiving intimation under subsection (2E)(b) above, make written representations to the court as respects the application under subsection (2B) above (the application being determined without a hearing). The Secretary of State may, after consultation with the Lord Justice General, by order made by statutory instrument provide that in any class of proceedings specified in the order the Clerk of Justiciary shall only make a direction under subsection (2)(b) above if satisfied that the person requesting the transcript is of a class of person so specified and, if purposes for which the transcript may be used are so specified, intends to use it only for such a purpose; and different purposes may be so specified for different classes of proceedings or classes of person. Where subsection (3) above applies as respects a direction, the person to whom the transcript is sent shall, if purposes for which that transcript may be used are specified by virtue of that subsection, use it only for such a purpose. A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (3) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. A direction under subsection (1) or (2) above may require that the transcript be made by the person who made the record or by such competent person as may be specified in the direction; and that person shall comply with the direction. A transcript made in compliance with a direction under subsection (1) or (2) above— shall be in legible form; and shall be certified by the person making it as being a correct and complete transcript of the whole or, as the case may be, the part of the record purporting to have been made and certified, and in the case of shorthand notes signed, by the person who made the record. The cost of making a transcript in compliance with a direction under subsection (1) or (2)(a) above shall be defrayed, in accordance with scales of payment fixed for the time being by the Treasury, out of money provided by Parliament.

The Clerk of Justiciary shall, on payment of such charges as may be fixed for the time being by the Treasury, provide a copy of any documentary production lodged in connection with an appeal under this Part of this Act to such of the following persons as may request it— any person convicted in the proceedings; any other person named in, or immediately affected by, any order made in the proceedings; and any person authorised to act on behalf of any of the persons mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) above. In this section, “complainer” means a person against whom an offence to which the trial related was alleged to have been committed. Where, at any time after the jury has been sworn to serve in a trial, the prosecutor intimates to the court that he does not intend to proceed in respect of an offence charged in the indictment, the judge shall acquit the accused of that offence and the trial shall proceed only in respect of any other offence charged in the indictment. Where, at any time after the jury has been sworn to serve in a trial, the accused intimates to the court that he is prepared to tender a plea of guilty as libelled, or such other plea as the Crown is prepared to accept, in respect of any offence charged in the indictment, the judge shall accept the plea tendered and shall convict the accused accordingly. Where an accused is convicted under subsection (2) above of an offence— the trial shall proceed only in respect of any other offence charged in the indictment; and without prejudice to any other power of the court to adjourn the case or to defer sentence, the judge shall not sentence him or make any other order competent following conviction until a verdict has been returned in respect of every other offence mentioned in paragraph (a) above. No trial shall fail or the ends of justice be allowed to be defeated by reason of any discrepancy or variance between the indictment and the evidence. It shall be competent at any time prior to the determination of the case, unless the court see just cause to the contrary, to amend the indictment by deletion, alteration or addition, so as to— cure any error or defect in it; meet any objection to it; or cure any discrepancy or variance between the indictment and the evidence. Nothing in this section shall authorise an amendment which changes the character of the offence charged, and, if it appears to the court that the accused may in any way be prejudiced in his defence on the merits of the case by any amendment made under this section, the court shall grant such remedy to the accused by adjournment or otherwise as appears to the court to be just. An amendment made under this section shall be sufficiently authenticated by the initials of the clerk of the court. Immediately after the close of the evidence for the prosecution, the accused may intimate to the court his desire to make a submission that he has no case to answer both— on an offence charged in the indictment; and on any other offence of which he could be convicted under the indictment. If, after hearing both parties, the judge is satisfied that the evidence led by the prosecution is insufficient in law to justify the accused being convicted of the offence charged in respect of which the submission has been made or of such other offence as is mentioned, in relation to that offence, in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, he shall acquit him of the offence charged in respect of which the submission has been made and the trial shall proceed only in respect of any other offence charged in the indictment. If, after hearing both parties, the judge is not satisfied as is mentioned in subsection (2) above, he shall reject the submission and the trial shall proceed, with the accused entitled to give evidence and call witnesses, as if such submission had not been made. A submission under subsection (1) above shall be heard by the judge in the absence of the jury. Immediately after one or other (but not both) of the appropriate events, the accused may make either or both of the submissions mentioned in subsection (2) in relation to an offence libelled in an indictment (the “indicted offence”). The submissions are— that the evidence is insufficient in law to justify the accused's being convicted of the indicted offence or any other offence of which the accused could be convicted under the indictment (a “related offence”), that there is no evidence to support some part of the circumstances set out in the indictment. For the purposes of subsection (1), “the appropriate events” are— the close of the whole of the evidence, the conclusion of the prosecutor's address to the jury on the evidence. A submission made under this section must be heard by the judge in the absence of the jury. This section applies where the accused makes a submission of the kind mentioned in section 97A(2)(a). If the judge is satisfied that the evidence is insufficient in law to justify the accused's being convicted of the indicted offence, then— where the judge is satisfied that the evidence is also insufficient in law to justify the accused's being convicted of a related offence— the judge must acquit the accused of the indicted offence, and the trial is to proceed only in respect of any other offence libelled in the indictment, where the judge is satisfied that the evidence is sufficient in law to justify the accused's being convicted of a related offence, the judge must direct that the indictment be amended accordingly. If the judge is not satisfied as is mentioned in subsection (2)— the judge must reject the submission, and the trial is to proceed as if the submission had not been made. The judge may make a decision under this section only after hearing both (or all) parties. An amendment made by virtue of this section must be sufficiently authenticated by the initials of the judge or the clerk of court. In this section, “indicted offence” and “related offence” have the same meanings as in section 97A. This section applies where the accused makes a submission of the kind mentioned in section 97A(2)(b). If the judge is satisfied that there is no evidence to support some part of the circumstances set out in the indictment, the judge must direct that the indictment be amended accordingly. A judge has no power to direct the jury to return a not guilty verdict on any charge on the ground that no reasonable jury, properly directed on the evidence, could convict on the charge. Accordingly, no submission based on that ground or any ground of like effect is to be allowed. In any trial the accused or, where he is legally represented, his counsel or solicitor shall have the right to speak last. When the jury retire to consider their verdict, the clerk of court shall enclose the jury in a room by themselves and, except in so far as provided for, or is made necessary, by an instruction under subsection (4) below, neither he nor any other person shall be present with the jury while they are enclosed. Except in so far as is provided for, or is made necessary, by an instruction under subsection (4) below, while the jury are enclosed and until they intimate that they are ready to return their verdict— subject to subsection (3) below, no person shall visit the jury or communicate with them; and no juror shall come out of the jury room other than to receive or seek a direction from the judge or to make a request— for an instruction under subsection (4)(a), (c) or (d) below; or regarding any matter in the cause. Nothing in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above shall prohibit the judge, or any person authorised by him for the purpose, communicating with the jury for the purposes— of giving a direction, whether or not sought under paragraph (b) of that subsection; or responding to a request made under that paragraph. The judge may give such instructions as he considers appropriate as regards— the provision of meals and refreshments for the jury; the making of arrangements for overnight accommodation for the jury and , unless under subsection (7) below the court permits them to separate, for their continued seclusion if such accommodation is provided; the communication of a personal or business message, unconnected with any matter in the cause, from a juror to another person (or vice versa); or the provision of medical treatment, or other assistance, immediately required by a juror. If the prosecutor or any other person contravenes the provisions of this section, the accused shall be acquitted of the crime with which he is charged. During the period in which the jury are retired to consider their verdict, the judge may sit in any other proceedings; and the trial shall not fail by reason only of his so doing. The court may, if it thinks fit, permit the jury to separate even after they have retired to consider their verdict. In respect of each charge, the jury must deliver a verdict of either— guilty, or not guilty. The jury may return a verdict of guilty only if a majority of the jurors are in favour of that verdict. Otherwise, the jury must return a verdict of not guilty. For the purposes of subsection (2), a majority of jurors are in favour of a verdict if— in the case of a jury consisting of 14 or 15 jurors, at least 10 of the jurors are so in favour, in the case of a jury consisting of 13 jurors, at least 9 jurors are so in favour, in the case of a jury consisting of 12 jurors, at least 8 jurors are so in favour. The verdict of the jury, whether the jury are unanimous or not, shall be returned orally by the foreman of the jury unless the court directs a written verdict to be returned. Where the jury are not unanimous in their verdict, the foreman shall announce that fact so that the relative entry may be made in the record. The verdict of the jury may be given orally through the foreman of the jury after consultation in the jury box without the necessity for the jury to retire. Previous convictions against the accused shall not , subject to subsection (2) below and section 275A(2) of this Act, be laid before the jury, nor shall reference be made to them in presence of the jury before the verdict is returned. Nothing in subsection (1) above shall prevent the prosecutor— asking the accused questions tending to show that he has been convicted of an offence other than that with which he is charged, where he is entitled to do so under section 266 of this Act; or leading evidence of previous convictions where it is competent to do so under section 270 of this Act, and nothing in this section or in section 69 of this Act shall prevent evidence of previous convictions being led in any case where such evidence is competent in support of a substantive charge. Previous convictions shall not , subject to section 275A(1) of this Act, be laid before the presiding judge until the prosecutor moves for sentence ; or for a risk assessment order (or the court at its own instance proposes to make such an order), and in that event the prosecutor shall lay before the judge a copy of the notice referred to in subsection (2) or (4) of section 69 of this Act. Where, under paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above, the prosecutor lays previous convictions before the judge, he shall also provide the judge with such details regarding the offences in question as are available to him. On the conviction of the accused it shall be competent for the court, subject to subsection (5) below, to amend a notice of previous convictions so laid by deletion or alteration for the purpose of curing any error or defect. Any conviction which is admitted in evidence by the court shall be entered in the record of the trial. Where a person is convicted of an offence, the court may have regard to any previous conviction in respect of that person in deciding on the disposal of the case. Where any such intimation as is mentioned in section 69 of this Act is given by the accused, it shall be competent to prove any previous conviction included in a notice under that section in the manner specified in section 285 , or as the case may be 286A, of this Act, and the provisions of the section in question shall apply accordingly. This section, except subsection (2) above, applies in relation to the alternative disposals mentioned in subsection (10) below as it applies in relation to previous convictions. a work order under section 303ZA(6) of this Act that has been completed in the two years preceding the date of an offence charged; Nothing in this section or in section 69 of this Act shall prevent the prosecutor, following conviction of an accused of an offence— to which a fixed penalty offer made under section 302(1) of this Act related; to which a compensation offer made under section 302A(1) of this Act related; ... to which a work offer made under section 303ZA(1) of this Act related; or to which a restoration notice given under section 20A(4) of the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 6) related, providing the judge with information about the making of the offer (including the terms of the offer) or, as the case may be, about the giving of the notice (including the terms of the notice). This section applies where an accused person is convicted of an offence (“offence O”) on indictment. The court may, in deciding on the disposal of the case, have regard to— any conviction in respect of the accused which occurred on or after the date of offence O but before the date of conviction in respect of that offence, any of the alternative disposals in respect of the accused that are mentioned in subsection (3). fixed penalty under section 302(1) of this Act, or that has been accepted (or deemed to have been accepted) on or after the date of offence O but before the date of conviction in respect of that offence, a work order under section 303ZA(6) of this Act that has been completed on or after the date of offence O but before the date of conviction in respect of that offence. The court may have regard to any such conviction or alternative disposal only if it is— specified in a notice laid before the court by the prosecutor, and admitted by the accused or proved by the prosecutor (on evidence adduced then or at another diet). A reference in this section to a conviction which occurred on or after the date of offence O is a reference to such a conviction by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or , where the court considers appropriate, in any member State of the European Union. When the jury have retired to consider their verdict, and the diet in another criminal cause has been called, then, subject to subsection (3) below, if it appears to the judge presiding at the trial to be appropriate, he may interrupt the proceedings in such other cause— in order to receive the verdict of the jury in the preceding trial, and thereafter to dispose of the case; to give a direction to the jury in the preceding trial upon any matter upon which the jury may wish a direction from the judge or to hear any request from the jury regarding any matter in the cause. Where in any case the diet of which has not been called, the accused intimates to the clerk of court that he is prepared to tender a plea of guilty as libelled or such qualified plea as the Crown is prepared to accept, or where a case is remitted to the High Court for sentence, then, subject to subsection (3) below, any trial then proceeding may be interrupted for the purpose of receiving such plea or dealing with the remitted case and pronouncing sentence or otherwise disposing of any such case. In no case shall any proceedings in the preceding trial take place in the presence of the jury in the interrupted trial, but in every case that jury shall be directed to retire by the presiding judge. On the interrupted trial being resumed the diet shall be called de novo. In any case an interruption under this section shall not be deemed an irregularity, nor entitle the accused to take any objection to the proceedings. In proceedings on indictment, an accused person who without reasonable excuse fails to appear at a diet of which the accused has been given due notice (apart from a diet which the accused is not required to attend) is— guilty of an offence; and liable on conviction on indictment to a fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 5 years or to both. In proceedings on indictment, where an accused person fails to appear at a diet of which the accused has been given due notice (apart from a diet which the accused is not required to attend), the court may grant a warrant to apprehend the accused. It is not, otherwise than under subsection (2) above, competent in any proceedings on indictment for a court to grant a warrant for the apprehension of an accused person for failure to appear at a diet. However, it remains competent for a court to grant a warrant on petition (as referred to in section 34 of this Act) in respect of an offence under— subsection (1) above; section 27(7) of this Act, whether or not a warrant has been granted under subsection (2) above in respect of the same failure to appear to which that offence relates. Where a warrant to apprehend an accused person is granted under subsection (2) above at any stage prior to conviction, the indictment falls as respects that accused. Subsection (5) above is subject to any order to different effect made by the court when granting the warrant. An order under subsection (6) above— for the purpose of proceeding with the trial in the absence of the accused under section 92(2A) (where the warrant is granted at a trial diet), may be made on the motion of the prosecutor; for any other purpose, may be made on the motion of the prosecutor or of the court's own accord. A warrant granted under subsection (2) above shall be in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. A warrant granted under subsection (2) above (in the form mentioned in subsection (8) above) shall imply warrant to officers of law— to search for and apprehend the accused; to bring the accused before the court; in the meantime, to detain the accused in a police station, police cell or other convenient place; and An accused apprehended under a warrant granted under subsection (2) above shall wherever practicable be brought before the court not later than in the course of the first day on which the court is sitting after the accused is taken into custody. Where the accused is brought before the court in pursuance of a warrant granted under subsection (2) above, the court shall make an order— detaining the accused until liberated in due course of law; or releasing the accused on bail. For the purposes of subsection (11) above, the court is to have regard to the terms of the indictment in relation to which the warrant was granted even if that indictment has fallen. In a case where a warrant is granted under subsection (2) above, any period of time during which the accused was detained in custody— as regards that case; and prior to the making of an order under subsection (11) above, does not count towards any time limit applying in that case by virtue of section 65(4) of this Act. For the purposes of subsection (13) above— detention as regards a case includes, in addition to detention as regards the indictment in relation to which the warrant was granted (whether or not that indictment has fallen), detention as regards any preceding petition; it is immaterial whether or not further proceedings are on a fresh indictment. At any time before the trial of an accused person on indictment, it is competent— to amend the indictment so as to include an additional charge of an offence under subsection (1) above; to include, in the list of witnesses or productions associated with the indictment, witnesses or productions relating to that offence. In this section, “ the court ” means— where the accused failed to appear at the High Court— for the purposes of subsections (10) to (12) above, that Court (whether or not constituted by a single judge); otherwise, a single judge of that Court; where the accused failed to appear at a sheriff court, any sheriff court with jurisdiction in relation to the proceedings. The High Court shall hold both during session and during vacation such sittings as are necessary for the disposal of appeals and other proceedings under this Part of this Act. Subject to subsection (3) below, for the purpose of hearing and determining any appeal or other proceeding under this Part of this Act three of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary shall be a quorum of the High Court, and the determination of any question under this Part of this Act by the court shall be according to the votes of the majority of the members of the court sitting, including the presiding judge, and each judge so sitting shall be entitled to pronounce a separate opinion. For the purpose of hearing and determining any appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) of this Act, or any proceeding connected therewith, two of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary shall be a quorum of the High Court, and each judge shall be entitled to pronounce a separate opinion; but where the two Lords Commissioners of Justiciary are unable to reach agreement on the disposal of the appeal, or where they consider it appropriate, the appeal shall be heard and determined in accordance with subsection (2) above. Subsections (1) to (3) above shall apply to cases certified to the High Court by a single judge of the said court and to appeals by way of advocation in like manner as they apply to appeals under this Part of this Act. The powers of the High Court under this Part of this Act— to extend the time within which intimation of intention to appeal and note of appeal may be given; to allow the appellant to be present at any proceedings in cases where he is not entitled to be present without leave; and to admit an appellant to bail, may be exercised by any judge of the High Court, sitting and acting wherever convenient, in the same manner as they may be exercised by the High Court, and subject to the same provisions. Where a judge acting under subsection (5) above refuses an application by an appellant to exercise under that subsection any power in his favour, the appellant shall be entitled to have the application determined by the High Court. Where a judge acting under subsection (5)(c) above grants an application by an appellant to exercise that power in his favour, the prosecutor shall be entitled to have the application determined by the High Court. Subject to subsection (5) , (6) and (6A) above and without prejudice to it, preliminary and interlocutory proceedings incidental to any appeal or application may be disposed of by a single judge. In all proceedings before a judge under section (5) above, and in all preliminary and interlocutory proceedings and applications except such as are heard before the full court, the parties may be represented and appear by a solicitor alone. Without prejudice to any existing power of the High Court, it may for the purposes of an appeal under section 106(1), 107A, 107B or 108 of this Act— order the production of any document or other thing connected with the proceedings; hear any . . .evidence relevant to any alleged miscarriage of justice or order such evidence to be heard by a judge of the High Court or by such other person as it may appoint for that purpose; take account of any circumstances relevant to the case which were not before the trial judge; remit to any fit person to enquire and report in regard to any matter or circumstance affecting the appeal; appoint a person with expert knowledge to act as assessor to the High Court in any case where it appears to the court that such expert knowledge is required for the proper determination of the case. The evidence of any witnesses ordered to be examined before the High Court or before any judge of the High Court or other person appointed by the High Court shall be taken in accordance with the existing law and practice as to the taking of evidence in criminal trials in Scotland. The appellant or applicant and the respondent or counsel on their behalf shall be entitled to be present at and take part in any examination of any witness to which this section relates. When an application or applications have been dealt with by a judge of the High Court, under section 103(5) of this Act, the Clerk of Justiciary shall— notify to the applicant the decision in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form; and where all or any of such applications have been refused, forward to the applicant the prescribed form for completion and return forthwith if he desires to have the application or applications determined by the High Court as fully constituted for the hearing of appeals under this Part of this Act. Where the applicant does not desire a determination as mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above, or does not return within five days to the Clerk the form duly completed by him, the refusal of his application or applications by the judge shall be final. Where an applicant who desires a determination by the High Court as mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above— is not legally represented, he may be present at the hearing and determination by the High Court of the application; is legally represented, he shall not be entitled to be present without leave of the court. Subsection (3) does not entitle an applicant to be present at the hearing and determination of an application under section 111(2) unless the High Court has made a direction under section 111(4)(b). When an applicant duly completes and returns to the Clerk of Justiciary within the prescribed time the form expressing a desire to be present at the hearing and determination by the court of the applications mentioned in this section, the form shall be deemed to be an application by the applicant for leave to be so present, and the Clerk of Justiciary, on receiving the form, shall take the necessary steps for placing the application before the court. An application by a convicted person for a determination by the High Court of a decision of a judge acting under section 103(5)(c) of this Act to refuse to admit him to bail shall be intimated by him immediately and in writing to the Crown Agent. If the application to be present is refused by the court, the Clerk of Justiciary shall notify the applicant; and if the application is granted, he shall notify the applicant and the Governor of the prison where the applicant is in custody and the Secretary of State. For the purpose of constituting a Court of Appeal, the judge who has refused any application may sit as a member of the court, and take part in determining the application. Where the prosecutor desires a determination by the High Court as mentioned in subsection (6A) of section 103 of this Act, he shall apply to the judge immediately after the power in subsection (5)(c) of that section is exercised in favour of the appellant. Where a judge acting under section 103(5)(c) of this Act has exercised that power in favour of the appellant but the prosecutor has made an application under subsection (1) above— the appellant shall not be liberated until the determination by the High Court; and that application by the prosecutor shall be heard not more than seven days after the making of the application, and the Clerk of the Justiciary shall forward to the appellant the prescribed form for completion and return forthwith if he desires to be present at the hearing. At a hearing and determination as mentioned in subsection (2) above, if the appellant— is not legally represented, he may be present; If the appellant completes and returns the form mentioned in subsection (2) above indicating a desire to be present at the hearing, the form shall be deemed to be an application by the appellant for leave to be so present, and the Clerk of Justiciary, on receiving the form, shall take the necessary steps for placing the application before the court. If the application to be present is refused by the court, the Clerk of Justiciary shall notify the appellant; and if the application is granted, he shall notify the appellant and the Governor of the prison where the applicant is in custody and the Scottish Ministers. For the purposes of constituting a Court of Appeal, the judge who exercised the power in section 103(5)(c) of this Act in favour of the appellant may sit as a member of the court, and take part in determining the application of the prosecutor. Any person convicted on indictment may, with leave granted in accordance with section 107 of this Act, appeal in accordance with this Part of this Act, to the High Court— against such conviction; subject to subsection (2) below, against the sentence passed on such conviction; against the making of an order for lifelong restriction; against any decision not to exercise the power conferred by section 205A(3), or 205B(3) of this Act; against his absolute discharge or admonition; against any drug treatment and testing order; against any disposal under section 227ZC(7)(a) to (c) or (e) or (8)(a) of this Act; against any decision to remit made under section 49(1)(a) of this Act; against any order deferring sentence; or against both such conviction and, subject to subsection (2) below, such sentence or disposal or order. There shall be no appeal against any sentence fixed by law. By an appeal under subsection (1) above a person may bring under review of the High Court any alleged miscarriage of justice, which may include such a miscarriage based on— subject to subsections (3A) to (3D) below, the existence and significance of evidence which was not heard at the original proceedings; and the jury’s having returned a verdict which no reasonable jury, properly directed, could have returned. Evidence such as is mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above may found an appeal only where there is a reasonable explanation of why it was not so heard. Where the explanation referred to in subsection (3A) above or, as the case may be, (3C) below is that the evidence was not admissible at the time of the original proceedings, but is admissible at the time of the appeal, the court may admit that evidence if it appears to the court that it would be in the interests of justice to do so. Without prejudice to subsection (3A) above, where evidence such as is mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above is evidence— which is— from a person; or of a statement (within the meaning of section 259(1) of this Act) by a person, who gave evidence at the original proceedings; and which is different from, or additional to, the evidence so given, it may not found an appeal unless there is a reasonable explanation as to why the evidence now sought to be adduced was not given by that person at those proceedings, which explanation is itself supported by independent evidence. For the purposes of subsection (3C) above, “ independent evidence ” means evidence which— was not heard at the original proceedings; is from a source independent of the person referred to in subsection (3C) above; and is accepted by the court as being credible and reliable. Any document, production or other thing lodged in connection with the proceedings on the trial of any person who, if convicted, is entitled or may be authorised to appeal under this Part of this Act, shall, in accordance with subsections (5) to (9) below, be kept in the custody of the court in which the conviction took place. All documents and other productions produced at the trial of a convicted person shall be kept in the custody of the court of trial in such manner as it may direct until any period allowed under or by virtue of this Part of this Act for lodging intimation of intention to appeal has elapsed. Where no direction is given as mentioned in subsection (5) above, such custody shall be in the hands of the sheriff clerk of the district of the court of the second diet to whom the clerk of court shall hand them over at the close of the trial, unless otherwise ordered by the High Court on an intimation of intention to appeal being lodged, and if within such period there has been such lodgement under this Part of this Act, they shall be so kept until the appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined. Notwithstanding subsections (5) and (6) above, the judge of the court in which the conviction took place may, on cause shown, grant an order authorising any of such documents or productions to be released on such conditions as to custody and return as he may deem it proper to prescribe. All such documents or other productions so retained in custody or released and returned shall, under supervision of the custodian thereof, be made available for inspection and for the purpose of making copies of documents or productions to a person who has lodged an intimation of intention to appeal or as the case may be, to the convicted person’s counsel or agent, and to the Crown Agent and the procurator fiscal or his deputes. Where no intimation of intention to appeal is lodged within the period mentioned in subsection (6) above, all such documents and productions shall be dealt with as they are dealt with according to the existing law and practice at the conclusion of a trial; and they shall be so dealt with if, there having been such intimation, the appeal is not proceeded with. a person has been sentenced under section 205A(2) of this Act; he had, at the time at which the offence for which he was so sentenced was committed, only one previous conviction for a qualifying offence or a relevant offence within the meaning of that section; and after he has been so sentenced, the conviction mentioned in paragraph (b) above has been quashed. a person has been sentenced under section 205B(2) of this Act; he had, at the time at which the offence for which he was so sentenced was committed, only two previous convictions for class A drug trafficking offences within the meaning of that section; and after he has been so sentenced, one of the convictions mentioned in paragraph (b) above has been quashed. Where subsection (1) or (2) above applies, the person may appeal under section 106(1)(b) of this Act against the sentence imposed on him under section 205A(2) or, as the case may be, 205B(2) of this Act. An appeal under section 106(1)(b) of this Act by virtue of subsection (3) above— may be made notwithstanding that the person has previously appealed under that section; and shall be lodged within two weeks of the quashing of the conviction as mentioned in subsection (1)(c) or, as the case may be, (2)(c) above. Where an appeal is made under section 106(1)(b) by virtue of this section, the following provisions of this Act shall not apply in relation to such an appeal, namely— section 121; and section 126. The decision whether to grant leave to appeal for the purposes of section 106(1) of this Act shall be made by a judge of the High Court who shall— if he considers that the documents mentioned in subsection (2) below disclose arguable grounds of appeal, grant leave to appeal and make such comments in writing as he considers appropriate; and in any other case— refuse leave to appeal and give reasons in writing for the refusal; and where the appellant is on bail and the sentence imposed on his conviction is one of imprisonment, grant a warrant to apprehend and imprison him. The documents referred to in subsection (1) above are— the note of appeal lodged under section 110(1)(a) of this Act; in the case of an appeal against conviction or sentence in a sheriff court, the certified copy or, as the case may be, the record of the proceedings at the trial; where the judge who presided at the trial furnishes a report under section 113 of this Act, that report; and where, by virtue of section 94(1) of this Act, a transcript of the charge to the jury of the judge who presided at the trial is delivered to the Clerk of Justiciary, that transcript. In respect of an appeal by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16), the “report under section 113” in subsection (2)(c) means— the report of the judge who presided at the trial resulting in the appellant's acquittal for an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of that Act; where an appeal against conviction was taken before that acquittal, the report of the judge who presided at the trial resulting in the conviction in respect of which leave to appeal is sought prepared at that time; and any other report of that judge furnished under section 113. A warrant granted under subsection (1)(b)(ii) above shall not take effect until the expiry of the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (4) below (and if that period is extended under subsection (4A) below before the period being extended expires, until the expiry of the period as so extended) without an application to the High Court for leave to appeal having been lodged by the appellant under subsection (4) . Where leave to appeal is refused under subsection (1) above the appellant may, within 14 days of intimation under subsection (10) below, apply to the High Court for leave to appeal. The High Court may, on cause shown, extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (4) above, or that period as extended under this subsection, whether or not the period to be extended has expired (and if that period of 14 days has expired, whether or not it expired before section 62 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7) came into force). In deciding an application under subsection (4) above the High Court shall— if, after considering the documents mentioned in subsection (2) above and the reasons for the refusal, the court is of the opinion that there are arguable grounds of appeal, grant leave to appeal and make such comments in writing as the court considers appropriate; and Consideration whether to grant leave to appeal under subsection (1) or (5) above shall take place in chambers without the parties being present. Comments in writing made under subsection (1)(a) or (5)(a) above may, without prejudice to the generality of that provision, specify the arguable grounds of appeal (whether or not they are contained in the note of appeal) on the basis of which leave to appeal is granted. Where the arguable grounds of appeal are specified by virtue of subsection (7) above it shall not, except by leave of the High Court on cause shown, be competent for the appellant to found any aspect of his appeal on any ground of appeal contained in the note of appeal but not so specified. Any application by the appellant for the leave of the High Court under subsection (8) above— shall be made within 14 days of the date of intimation under subsection (10) below ; and shall, within 14 days of that date, be intimated by the appellant to the Crown Agent. The High Court may, on cause shown, extend the periods of 14 days mentioned in subsection (9) above. The Clerk of Justiciary shall forthwith intimate— a decision under subsection (1) or (5) above; and in the case of a refusal of leave to appeal, the reasons for the decision, to the appellant or his solicitor and to the Crown Agent. The prosecutor may appeal to the High Court against— an acquittal under section 97 or 97B(2)(a), or a direction under section 97B(2)(b) or 97C(2). If, immediately after an acquittal under section 97 or 97B(2)(a), the prosecutor moves for the trial diet to be adjourned for no more than 2 days in order to consider whether to appeal against the acquittal under subsection (1), the court of first instance must grant the motion unless the court considers that there are no arguable grounds of appeal. If, immediately after the giving of a direction under section 97B(2)(b) or 97C(2), the prosecutor moves for the trial diet to be adjourned for no more than 2 days in order to consider whether to appeal against the direction under subsection (1), the court of first instance must grant the motion unless the court considers that it would not be in the interests of justice to do so. In considering whether it would be in the interests of justice to grant a motion for adjournment under subsection (3), the court must have regard, amongst other things, to— whether, if an appeal were to be made and to be successful, continuing with the diet would have any impact on any subsequent or continued prosecution, whether there are any arguable grounds of appeal. An appeal may not be brought under subsection (1) unless the prosecutor intimates intention to appeal— immediately after the acquittal or, as the case may be, the giving of the direction, if a motion to adjourn the trial diet under subsection (2) or (3) is granted, immediately upon resumption of the diet, or if such a motion is refused, immediately after the refusal. Subsection (7) applies if— the prosecutor intimates an intention to appeal under subsection (1)(a), or the trial diet is adjourned under subsection (2). Where this subsection applies, the court of first instance must suspend the effect of the acquittal and may— make an order under section 4(2) of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 (c.49) (which gives a court power, in some circumstances, to order that publication of certain reports be postponed) as if proceedings for the offence of which the person was acquitted were pending or imminent, after giving the parties an opportunity of being heard, order the detention of the person in custody or admit him to bail. The court may, under subsection (7)(b), order the detention of the person in custody only if the court considers that there are arguable grounds of appeal. The prosecutor may appeal to the High Court against a finding, made after the jury is empanelled and before the close of the evidence for the prosecution, that evidence that the prosecution seeks to lead is inadmissible. The appeal may be made only with the leave of the court of first instance, granted— on the motion of the prosecutor, or on that court's initiative. Any motion for leave to appeal must be made before the close of the case for the prosecution. In determining whether to grant leave to appeal the court must consider— whether there are arguable grounds of appeal, and what effect the finding has on the strength of the prosecutor's case. In an appeal brought under section 107A or 107B the High Court may review not only the acquittal, direction or finding appealed against but also any direction, finding, decision, determination or ruling in the proceedings at first instance if it has a bearing on the acquittal, direction or finding appealed against. The test to be applied by the High Court in reviewing the acquittal, direction or finding appealed against is whether it was wrong in law. the prosecutor intimates intention to appeal under section 107A or leave to appeal is granted by the court under section 107B, and the court is able to obtain confirmation from the Keeper of the Rolls that it would be practicable for the appeal to be heard and determined during an adjournment of the trial diet. The court must inform both parties of that fact and, after hearing them, must decide whether or not the appeal is to be heard and determined during such an adjournment. An appeal brought under section 107A or 107B which is heard and determined during such an adjournment is referred to in this Act as an “expedited appeal”. If the court decides that the appeal is to be an expedited appeal the court must, pending the outcome of the appeal— adjourn the trial diet, and where the appeal is against an acquittal, suspend the effect of the acquittal. Where the court cannot obtain from the Keeper of the Rolls confirmation of the kind mentioned in subsection (1)(b), the court must inform the parties of that fact. Where the High Court in an expedited appeal determines that an acquittal of an offence libelled in the indictment was wrong in law it must quash the acquittal and direct that the trial is to proceed in respect of the offence. an appeal brought under section 107A is not an expedited appeal, the appeal is against an acquittal, and the High Court determines that the acquittal was wrong in law. The court must quash the acquittal. If the prosecutor seeks leave to bring a new prosecution charging the accused with the same offence as that libelled in the indictment, or a similar offence arising out of the same facts as the offence libelled in the indictment, the High Court must grant the prosecutor authority to do so in accordance with section 119, unless the court considers that it would be contrary to the interests of justice to do so. no motion is made under subsection (3), or the High Court does not grant a motion made under that subsection, the High Court must in disposing of the appeal acquit the accused of the offence libelled in the indictment. an appeal brought under section 107A or 107B is not an expedited appeal, and the appeal is not against an acquittal. The court of first instance must desert the diet pro loco et tempore in relation to any offence to which the appeal relates. The trial is to proceed only if another offence of which the accused has not been acquitted and to which the appeal does not relate is libelled in the indictment. However, if the prosecutor moves for the diet to be deserted pro loco et tempore in relation to such other offence, the court must grant the motion. Where a person has been convicted on indictment, the Lord Advocate may, in accordance with subsection (2) below, appeal against any of the following disposals, namely— a sentence passed on conviction; a decision under section 209(1)(b) of this Act not to make a supervised release order; a decision under section 234A(2) of this Act not to make a non-harassment order; a decision under section 92 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 not to make a confiscation order;. a decision under section 22A of the Serious Crime Act 2007 not to make a serious crime prevention order; a decision under section 36(2) of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 not to make a publicity order; a decision under section 41(2) of that Act not to make a remediation order; a decision under section 97B(2) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 to make or not to make a compliance order; a decision under section 30(2) of the Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and Care) (Scotland) Act 2016 not to make a remedial order, a decision under section 30(2) of that Act not to make a publicity order, a drug treatment and testing order; a decision to remit to the Principal Reporter made under section 49(1)(a) of this Act; an order deferring sentence; an admonition; or an absolute discharge. An appeal under subsection (1) above may be made— on a point of law; where it appears to the Lord Advocate, in relation to an appeal under— paragraph (a), (h) or (i) of that subsection, that the disposal was unduly lenient; paragraph (b) , (c) , (ca), (cb) , (cc) , (cd), (ce) or (cf) of that subsection, that the decision not to make the order in question was inappropriate; paragraph (cd) or (dd) of that subsection, that the making of the order concerned was unduly lenient or was on unduly lenient terms; under paragraph (f) of that subsection, that the decision to remit was inappropriate; under paragraph (g) of that subsection, that the deferment of sentence was inappropriate or was on unduly lenient conditions. In deciding whether to appeal under subsection (1) in any case, the Lord Advocate must have regard to any sentencing guidelines which are applicable in relation to the case. For the purposes of subsection (2)(b)(i) above in its application to a confiscation order by virtue of section 92(11) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the reference to the disposal being unduly lenient is a reference to the amount required to be paid by the order being unduly low. Where the court has exercised the power conferred by section or or 205B(3) of this Act, the Lord Advocate may appeal against that decision.

Subject to section 111(2) of this Act and to section 99 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (postponement) , where a person desires to appeal under section 106(1)(a) or (f) of this Act, he shall within two weeks of the final determination of the proceedings, lodge with the Clerk of Justiciary written intimation of intention to appeal which shall identify the proceedings and be in as nearly as may be the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Where a person desires to appeal under section 106(1)(a) of this Act by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16), subsection (1) applies with the following modifications— for the words “two weeks of the final determination of the proceedings” substitute “ two weeks of the date on which the person is acquitted of an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16) ”; and the reference to identifying the proceedings is to be construed as a reference to identifying— the proceedings which resulted in the conviction desired to be appealed; and the proceedings which resulted in the person's acquittal as mentioned in section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16). Subsections (5) to (9) of section 106 of this Act do not apply where the modifications specified in subsection (1A) apply. A copy of intimation given under subsection (1) above shall be sent to the Crown Agent. On intimation under subsection (1) above being lodged by a person in custody, the Clerk of Justiciary shall give notice of the intimation to the Secretary of State. Subject to subsection (5) below, for the purposes of subsection (1) above and section 106(5) to (7) of this Act, proceedings shall be deemed finally determined on the day on which sentence is passed in open court. Where in relation to an appeal under section 106(1)(a) of this Act sentence is deferred under section 202 of this Act, the proceedings shall be deemed finally determined on the day on which sentence is first so deferred in open court. Without prejudice to section 10 of the said Act of 1995, the reference in subsection (4) above to “the day on which sentence is passed in open court” shall, in relation to any case in which, under subsection (1) of that section, a decision has been postponed for a period, be construed as a reference to the day on which that decision is made, whether or not a confiscation order is then made or any other sentence is then passed. Subject to section 111(2) of this Act— within eight weeks of lodging intimation of intention to appeal or, in the case of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) of this Act . . . , within two weeks of the appropriate date (being, as the case may be, the date on which sentence was passed, the order disposing of the case was made, sentence was deferred ... or the previous conviction was quashed as mentioned in section 106A(1)(c) or (2)(c) of this Act) in open court, the convicted person may lodge a written note of appeal with the Clerk of Justiciary who shall send a copy to the judge who presided at the trial and to the Crown Agent; or, as the case may be, within four weeks of the passing of the sentence in open court, the Lord Advocate may lodge such a note with the Clerk of Justiciary, who shall send a copy to the said judge and to the convicted person or that person’s solicitor. where the prosecutor intimates intention to appeal under section 107A(1), within 7 days after the acquittal or direction appealed against, the prosecutor may, except in the case of an expedited appeal, lodge such a note with the Clerk of Justiciary, who must send a copy to the judge and to the accused or to the accused's solicitor, within 7 days after leave to appeal under section 107B(1) is granted, the prosecutor may, except in the case of an expedited appeal, lodge such a note with the Clerk of Justiciary, who must send a copy to the judge and to the accused or to the accused's solicitor, in the case of an expedited appeal, as soon as practicable after the decision as to hearing and determining the case is made under section 107D(2), the prosecutor may— lodge such a note with the Clerk of Justiciary, and provide a copy to the judge and to the accused or to the accused's solicitor. The period of eight weeks mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above may be extended, before it expires, by the Clerk of Justiciary. A note of appeal shall— identify the proceedings; contain a full statement of all the grounds of appeal; and be in as nearly as may be the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. In respect of a written note of appeal relating to an appeal by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16)— subsection (1) applies as if the reference to the judge who presided at the trial were a reference to— the judge who presided at the trial resulting in the conviction to which the written note of appeal relates; and the judge who presided at the trial for an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of that Act resulting in the convicted person's acquittal; and subsection (3)(a) applies as if the reference to the proceedings were a reference to— the proceedings which resulted in the conviction to which the written note of appeal relates; and the proceedings which resulted in the convicted person's acquittal. Except by leave of the High Court on cause shown, it shall not be competent for an appellant to found any aspect of his appeal on a ground not contained in the note of appeal. Subsection (4) above shall not apply as respects any ground of appeal specified as an arguable ground of appeal by virtue of subsection (7) of section 107 of this Act. On a note of appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) of this Act being lodged by an appellant in custody the Clerk of Justiciary shall give notice of that fact to the Secretary of State. Where the last day of any period mentioned in sections 109(1) and 110(1) of this Act falls on a day on which the office of the Clerk of Justiciary is closed, such period shall extend to and include the next day on which such office is open. Any period mentioned in section 109(1) or 110(1)(a) of this Act may be extended at any time by the High Court in respect of any convicted person; and an application for such extension may be made under this subsection and shall be in as nearly as may be the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Where an application under subsection (2) is received after the period to which it relates has expired, the High Court may extend the period only if it is satisfied that doing so is justified by exceptional circumstances. In considering whether there are exceptional circumstances for the purpose of subsection (2ZA), the High Court must have regard to— the length of time that has elapsed between the expiry of the period and the making of the application, the reasons stated in accordance with subsection (2A)(a)(i), the proposed grounds of appeal. An application under subsection (2) ... must— state— the reasons why the applicant failed , or expects to fail, to comply with the time limit ..., and the proposed grounds of appeal, and be intimated in writing by the applicant to the Crown Agent. If the prosecutor so requests within 7 days of receipt of intimation of the application under subsection (2A)(b), the prosecutor must be given an opportunity to make representations before the application is determined. An application under subsection (2) is to be dealt with by the High Court— in chambers, and unless the Court directs otherwise, without the parties being present. If the High Court extends a period under subsection (2), it must— give reasons for the decision in writing, and give the reasons in ordinary language. Subject to subsections (2), (2A) and (9) below, the High Court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of a convicted person, admit him to bail pending the determination of— his appeal; or any relevant appeal by the Lord Advocate under section 108 or 108A of this Act. The High Court shall not admit a convicted person to bail under subsection (1) above unless— the application for bail— states reasons why it should be granted; and where he is the appellant and has not lodged a note of appeal in accordance with section 110(1)(a) of this Act, sets out the proposed grounds of appeal; . . . the convicted person is the appellant and has not lodged a note of appeal in accordance with section 110(1)(a) of this Act; or the Lord Advocate is the appellant, the High Court shall not admit the convicted person to bail under subsection (1) above unless it considers there to be exceptional circumstances justifying admitting him to bail. A person who is admitted to bail under subsection (1) above shall, unless the High Court otherwise directs, appear personally in court on the day or days fixed for the hearing of the appeal. Where an appellant fails to appear personally in court as mentioned in subsection (3) above, the court may— if he is the appellant— decline to consider the appeal; and dismiss it summarily; or whether or not he is the appellant— consider and determine the appeal; or without prejudice to section 27 of this Act, make such other order as the court thinks fit. For the purposes of subsections (1), (3) and (4) above, “appellant” includes not only a person who has lodged a note of appeal but also one who has lodged an intimation of intention to appeal. Subject to subsections (7) and (9) below, the High Court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of a convicted person, admit him to bail pending the determination of any appeal under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998 and the disposal of the proceedings by the High Court thereafter. The High Court shall not admit a convicted person to bail under subsection (6) above unless the application for bail states reasons why it should be granted and the High Court considers there to be exceptional circumstances justifying admitting the convicted person to bail and where the appeal relates to conviction on indictment, the prosecutor has had an opportunity to be heard on the application. A person who is admitted to bail under subsection (6) above shall, unless the High Court otherwise directs, appear personally in the High Court at any subsequent hearing in the High Court in relation to the proceedings; and if he fails to do so the court may, without prejudice to section 27 of this Act, make such order as it thinks fit. An application for the purposes of subsection (1) or (6) above by a person convicted on indictment shall be— intimated by him immediately and in writing to the Crown Agent; and heard not less than seven days after the date of that intimation. Subject to subsections (1A) to (1D), As soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving the copy note of appeal sent to him under any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 110(1) of this Act, the judge who presided at the trial shall furnish the Clerk of Justiciary with a written report giving the judge’s opinion on the case generally and on the grounds contained in the note of appeal. Subsections (1B) to (1D) apply where the copy note of appeal mentioned in subsection (1) relates to an appeal by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16). The reference in subsection (1) to the judge who presided at the trial is to be construed as a reference to— the judge who presided at the trial for an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of that Act resulting in the appellant's acquittal; and where subsection (1C) applies, the judge who presided at the trial resulting in the conviction to which the copy note of appeal relates. where, in connection with the appeal, the High Court calls for the report to be furnished by the judge mentioned in subsection (1B)(b); and it is reasonably practicable for the judge to furnish the report. For the purposes of subsections (1) to (1C), it is irrelevant whether or not the judge mentioned in subsection (1B)(b) had previously furnished a report under subsection (1). The Clerk of Justiciary shall send a copy of the judge’s report— to the convicted person or his solicitor; to the Crown Agent; and in a case referred under Part XA of this Act, to the Commission. Where the judge’s report is not furnished as mentioned in subsections (1) to (1D) above, the High Court may call for the report to be furnished within such period as it may specify or, if it thinks fit, hear and determine the appeal without the report. Subject to subsection (2) above, the report of the judge shall be available only to the High Court, the parties and, on such conditions as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, such other persons or classes of persons as may be so prescribed. On receiving a note of appeal given under section 110(1)(e), the judge who presided at the trial may give the Clerk of Justiciary any written observations that the judge thinks fit on— the case generally, the grounds contained in the note of appeal. The High Court may hear and determine the appeal without any such written observations. If written observations are given under subsection (1), the Clerk of Justiciary must give a copy of them to— the accused or the accused's solicitor, and the prosecutor. The written observations of the judge are available only to— the High Court, the parties, and any other person or classes of person prescribed by Act of Adjournal, in accordance with any conditions prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Subject to any provision of this Part of this Act or to rules made under section 305 of this Act to the contrary, any application to the High Court may be made by the appellant or respondent as the case may be or by counsel on his behalf, orally or in writing. Subject to rules made under section 305 of this Act, if an appellant, . . . desires to present his case and his argument in writing instead of orally he shall, at least four days before the diet fixed for the hearing of the appeal— intimate this desire to the Clerk of Justiciary; lodge with the Clerk of Justiciary three copies of his case and argument; and send a copy of the intimation, case and argument to the Crown Agent. Any case or argument presented as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be considered by the High Court. Unless the High Court otherwise directs, the respondent shall not make a written reply to a case and argument presented as mentioned in subsection (1) above, but shall reply orally at the diet fixed for the hearing of the appeal. Unless the High Court otherwise allows, an appellant who has presented his case and argument in writing shall not be entitled to submit in addition an oral argument to the court in support of the appeal. An appellant may abandon his appeal by lodging with the Clerk of Justiciary a notice of abandonment in as nearly as may be the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal; and on such notice being lodged the appeal shall be deemed to have been dismissed by the court. A person who has appealed against both conviction and sentence (or, as the case may be, against both conviction and a decision mentioned in section 106(1)(bb) or both conviction and disposal and order) may abandon the appeal in so far as it is against conviction and may proceed with it against sentence (or, as the case may be, decision, disposal or order) alone. Where an appellant or applicant is in custody the Clerk of Justiciary shall notify— the appellant or applicant; the Governor of the prison in which the appellant or applicant then is; and the Secretary of State, of the probable day on which the appeal or application will be heard. The Secretary of State shall take steps to transfer the appellant or applicant to a prison convenient for his appearance before the High Court at such reasonable time before the hearing as shall enable him to consult his legal adviser, if any. A convicted appellant, notwithstanding that he is in custody, shall be entitled to be present if he desires it, at the hearing of his appeal. When an appellant or applicant is to be present at any diet— before the High Court or any judge of that court; or for the taking of additional evidence before a person appointed for that purpose under section 104(1)(b) of this Act, or for an examination or investigation by a special commissioner in terms of section 104(1)(d) of this Act, the Clerk of Justiciary shall give timeous notice to the Secretary of State, in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. A notice under subsection (4) above shall be sufficient warrant to the Secretary of State for transmitting the appellant or applicant in custody from prison to the place where the diet mentioned in that subsection or any subsequent diet is to be held and for reconveying him to prison at the conclusion of such diet. Where the Lord Advocate is the appellant, subsections (1) to (5) above shall apply in respect of the convicted person, if in custody, as they apply to an appellant or applicant in custody. The Secretary of State shall, on notice under subsection (4) above from the Clerk of Justiciary, ensure that sufficient male and female prison officers attend each sitting of the court, having regard to the list of appeals for the sitting. When the High Court fixes the date for the hearing of an appeal, or of an application under section 111(2) of this Act, the Clerk of Justiciary shall give notice to the Crown Agent and to the solicitor of the convicted person, or to the convicted person himself if he has no known solicitor. The High Court may, subject to subsection (4) below, dispose of an appeal against conviction by— affirming the verdict of the trial court; setting aside the verdict of the trial court and either quashing the conviction or, subject to subsection (2) below, substituting therefor an amended verdict of guilty; or setting aside the verdict of the trial court and quashing the conviction and granting authority to bring a new prosecution in accordance with section 119 of this Act. Where an appeal against conviction is by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16), paragraph (c) of subsection (1) does not apply. An amended verdict of guilty substituted under subsection (1) above must be one which could have been returned on the indictment before the trial court. In setting aside, under subsection (1) above, a verdict the High Court may quash any sentence imposed on the appellant (or, as the case may be, any disposal or order made) as respects the indictment, and— in a case where it substitutes an amended verdict of guilty, whether or not the sentence (or disposal or order) related to the verdict set aside; or in any other case, where the sentence (or disposal or order) did not so relate, may pass another (but not more severe) sentence or make another (but not more severe) disposal or order in substitution for the sentence, disposal or order so quashed. The High Court may, subject to subsection (5) below, dispose of an appeal against sentence by— affirming such sentence; or if the Court thinks that, having regard to all the circumstances, including any . . . evidence such as is mentioned in section 106(3) of this Act, a different sentence should have been passed, quashing the sentence and passing another sentence whether more or less severe in substitution therefor, and, in this subsection, “appeal against sentence” shall, without prejudice to the generality of the expression, be construed as including an appeal under section 106(1)(ba), (bb), (c), (d), (da), (e) or (f), and any appeal under section 108, of this Act; and other references to sentence shall be construed accordingly. On an appeal under section 108A of this Act, the High Court may dispose of the appeal— by affirming the decision and any sentence or order passed; where it is of the opinion mentioned in section 205A(3) or, as the case may be, 205B(3) of this Act but it considers that a different sentence or order should have been passed, by affirming the decision but quashing any sentence or order passed and passing another sentence or order whether more or less severe in substitution therefor; or in any other case, by setting aside the decision appealed against and any sentence or order passed by the trial court and where the decision appealed against was taken under— subsection (3) of section 205A of this Act, by passing the sentence mentioned in subsection (2) of that section; subsection (3) of section 205B of this Act, by passing a sentence of imprisonment of at least the length mentioned in subsection (2) of that section; or In relation to any appeal under section 106(1) of this Act, the High Court shall, where it appears to it that the appellant committed the act charged against him but that he was not, because of section 51A of this Act, criminally responsible for it, dispose of the appeal by— setting aside the verdict of the trial court and substituting therefor a verdict of acquittal by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act; and quashing any sentence imposed on the appellant (or disposal or order made) as respects the indictment and— making, in respect of the appellant, any order mentioned in section 57(2)(a) to (d) of this Act; or making no order. Subsections (3) to (6) of section 57 of this Act shall apply to an order made under subsection (5)(b)(i) above as they apply to an order made under subsection (2) of that section. In disposing of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (f) or 108 of this Act the High Court may, without prejudice to any other power in that regard, pronounce an opinion on the sentence or other disposal or order which is appropriate in any similar case ; ..., No conviction, sentence, judgment, order of court or other proceeding whatsoever in or for the purposes of solemn proceedings under this Act— shall be quashed for want of form; or where the accused had legal assistance in his defence, shall be suspended or set aside in respect of any objections to— the relevancy of the indictment, or the want of specification therein; or the competency or admission or rejection of evidence at the trial in the inferior court, unless such objections were timeously stated. The High Court may give its reasons for the disposal of any appeal in writing without giving those reasons orally. Subject to subsection (2) below, where authority is granted under section 118(1)(c) or 107E(3) or 107F(5) of this Act, a new prosecution may be brought charging the accused with the same or any similar offence arising out of the same facts; and the proceedings out of which the appeal arose shall not be a bar to such new prosecution. In a new prosecution under this section— where authority for the prosecution is granted under section 118(1)(c), the accused must not be charged with an offence more serious than that of which the accused was convicted in the earlier proceedings, where authority for the prosecution is granted under section 107E(3), the accused must not be charged with an offence more serious than that of which the accused was acquitted in the earlier proceedings, where authority for the prosecution is granted under section 107F(5), the accused must not be charged with an offence more serious than that originally libelled in the indictment in the earlier proceedings. In a new prosecution under this section brought by virtue of section 107F(5), the circumstances set out in the indictment are not to be inconsistent with any direction given under section 97B(2)(b) or 97C(2) in the proceedings which gave rise to the appeal in question unless the High Court, in disposing of that appeal, determined that the direction was wrong in law. No sentence may be passed on conviction under the new prosecution which could not have been passed on conviction under the earlier proceedings. A new prosecution may be brought under this section, notwithstanding that any time limit, other than the time limit mentioned in subsection (5) below, for the commencement of such proceedings has elapsed. Proceedings in a prosecution under this section shall be commenced within two months of the date on which authority to bring the prosecution was granted. In proceedings in a new prosecution under this section it shall, subject to subsection (7) below, be competent for either party to lead any evidence which it was competent for him to lead in the earlier proceedings. The indictment in a new prosecution under this section shall identify any matters as respects which the prosecutor intends to lead evidence by virtue of subsection (6) above which would not have been competent but for that subsection. For the purposes of subsection (5) above, proceedings shall be deemed to be commenced— in a case where a warrant to apprehend the accused is granted— on the date on which the warrant is executed; or if it is executed without unreasonable delay, on the date on which it is granted; in any other case, on the date on which the accused is cited. Where the two months mentioned in subsection (5) above elapse and no new prosecution has been brought under this section, the order under section 118(1)(c) of this Act setting aside the verdict or under section 107E(3) or 107F(5) granting authority to bring a new prosecution shall have the effect, for all purposes, of an acquittal. On granting authority under section 118(1)(c) or 107E(3) or 107F(5) of this Act to bring a new prosecution, the High Court shall, after giving the parties an opportunity of being heard, order the detention of the accused person in custody or admit him to bail. Section 65(4)(aa) and (b) and (4A) to (9) of this Act (prevention of delay in trials) shall apply to an accused person who is detained under subsection (10) above as they apply to an accused person detained by virtue of being committed until liberated in due course of law. intimation of the diet appointed for the hearing of the appeal has been made to the appellant; no appearance is made by or on behalf of an appellant at the diet; and no case or argument in writing has been timeously lodged, the High Court shall dispose of the appeal as if it had been abandoned. The power of the High Court to pass any sentence under this Part of this Act may be exercised notwithstanding that the appellant (or, where the Lord Advocate is the appellant, the convicted person) is for any reason not present. When the High Court has heard and dealt with any application under this Part of this Act, the Clerk of Justiciary shall (unless it appears to him unnecessary so to do) give to the applicant if he is in custody and has not been present at the hearing of such application notice of the decision of the court in relation to the said application. On the final determination of any appeal under this Part of this Act or of any matter under section 103(5) of this Act, the Clerk of Justiciary shall give notice of such determination— to the appellant or applicant if he is in custody and has not been present at such final determination; to the clerk of the court in which the conviction took place; and to the Secretary of State. Any disqualification, forfeiture or disability which attaches to a person by reason of a conviction shall not attach— for the period of four weeks from the date of the verdict against him; or where an intimation of intention to appeal or, in the case of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) , 108 or 108A of this Act, a note of appeal is lodged, until the appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined. The destruction or forfeiture or any order for the destruction or forfeiture of any property, matter or thing which is the subject of or connected with any prosecution following upon a conviction shall be suspended— for the period of four weeks after the date of the verdict in the trial; or This section does not apply in the case of any disqualification, destruction or forfeiture or order for destruction or forfeiture under or by virtue of any enactment which makes express provision for the suspension of the disqualification, destruction or forfeiture or order for destruction or forfeiture pending the determination of an appeal against conviction or sentence. Where, upon conviction, a fine has been imposed on a person or a compensation order has been made against him under section 249 of this Act, then, for a period of four weeks from the date of the verdict against such person or, in the event of an intimation of intention to appeal (or in the case of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) , 108 or 108A of this Act a note of appeal) being lodged under this Part of this Act, until such appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined— the fine or compensation order shall not be enforced against that person and he shall not be liable to make any payment in respect of the fine or compensation order; and any money paid by that person under the compensation order shall not be paid by the clerk of court to the person entitled to it under subsection (9) of the said section 249. In this section– “appeal” includes an appeal under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998; and in relation to such an appeal, references to an appeal being determined are to be read as references to the disposal of the proceedings by the High Court following determination of the appeal. Where an intimation of intention to appeal or, in the case of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) ... , 108 or 108A of this Act, a note of appeal is lodged, the court may on the application of the appellant direct that the whole, or any remaining part, of a relevant sentence shall be suspended until the appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined. Where the court has directed the suspension of the whole or any remaining part of a person’s relevant sentence, the person shall, unless the High Court otherwise directs, appear personally in court on the day or days fixed for the hearing of the appeal. Where a person fails to appear personally in court as mentioned in subsection (2) above, the court may— make such other order as the court thinks fit. In this section “ relevant sentence ” means any one or more of the following— a community payback order; a restriction of liberty order. Subsections (1), (2) and (4) above apply to an appeal under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998 and, in relation to such an appeal– references to an appeal being determined are to be read as references to the disposal of the proceedings by the High Court following determination of the appeal; and the reference in subsection (2) to the hearing of the appeal is to be read as a reference to any subsequent hearing in the High Court in relation to the proceedings. Where a person fails to appear personally in court as mentioned in subsection (2) as read with subsection (5) above, the court may make such order as it thinks fit. Where a person has on conviction been sentenced to payment of a fine and in default of payment to imprisonment, the person lawfully authorised to receive the fine shall, on receiving it, retain it until the determination of any appeal in relation to the conviction or sentence. If a person sentenced to payment of a fine remains in custody in default of payment of the fine he shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Part of this Act, to be a person sentenced to imprisonment. An appellant who has been sentenced to the payment of a fine, and has paid it in accordance with the sentence, shall, in the event of his appeal being successful, be entitled, subject to any order of the High Court, to the return of the sum paid or any part of it. A convicted person who has been sentenced to the payment of a fine and has duly paid it shall, if an appeal against sentence by the Lord Advocate or any appeal by the Lord Advocate or the Advocate General for Scotland under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998results in the sentence being quashed and no fine, or a lesser fine than that paid, being imposed, be entitled, subject to any order of the High Court, to the return of the sum paid or as the case may be to the return of the amount by which that sum exceeds the amount of the lesser fine. In subsections (1) and (3) above, “appeal” includes an appeal under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998. Where a person tried on indictment is acquitted or convicted of a charge, the Lord Advocate may refer a point of law which has arisen in relation to that charge to the High Court for their opinion; and the Clerk of Justiciary shall send to the person and to any solicitor who acted for the person at the trial, a copy of the reference and intimation of the date fixed by the Court for a hearing. The person may, not later than seven days before the date so fixed, intimate in writing to the Clerk of Justiciary and to the Lord Advocate either— that he elects to appear personally at the hearing; or that he elects to be represented thereat by counsel, but, except by leave of the Court on cause shown, and without prejudice to his right to attend, he shall not appear or be represented at the hearing other than by and in conformity with an election under this subsection. Where there is no intimation under subsection (2)(b) above, the High Court shall appoint counsel to act at the hearing as amicus curiae . The costs of representation elected under subsection (2)(b) above or of an appointment under subsection (3) above shall, after being taxed by the Auditor of the Court of Session, be paid by the Lord Advocate. The opinion on the point referred under subsection (1) above shall not affect the acquittal or, as the case may be, conviction in the trial. Nothing in this Part or Part XA of this Act shall affect the prerogative of mercy. Subject to Part XA and section 288AA of this Act and paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998, every interlocutor and sentence pronounced by the High Court under this Part of this Act shall be final and conclusive and not subject to review by any court whatsoever and , except for the purposes of ... an appeal under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of that Schedule, it shall be incompetent to stay or suspend any execution or diligence issuing from the High Court under this Part of this Act. Subject to subsection (2) below, where a convicted person is admitted to bail under section 112 of this Act, the period beginning with the date of his admission to bail and ending on the date of his readmission to prison in consequence of the determination or abandonment of— his appeal; or, as the case may be, any relevant appeal by the Lord Advocate under section 108 or 108A of this Act, shall not be reckoned as part of any term of imprisonment under his sentence. The time, including any period consequent on the recall of bail, during which an appellant is in custody pending the determination of his appeal or, as the case may be, of any relevant appeal by the Lord Advocate under section 108 or 108A of this Act shall, subject to any direction which the High Court may give to the contrary, be reckoned as part of any term of imprisonment under his sentence. Subject to any direction which the High Court may give to the contrary, imprisonment of an appellant or, where the appellant is the Lord Advocate, of a convicted person— who is in custody in consequence of the conviction or sentence appealed against, shall be deemed to run as from the date on which the sentence was passed; who is in custody other than in consequence of such conviction or sentence, shall be deemed to run or to be resumed as from the date on which his appeal was determined or abandoned; who is not in custody, shall be deemed to run or to be resumed as from the date on which he is received into prison under the sentence. In this section references to a prison and imprisonment shall include respectively references to a young offenders institution or place of safety or, as respects a child sentenced to be detained under section 208 of this Act, the place directed by the Secretary of State and to detention in such institution, centre or place of safety, or, as respects such a child, place directed by the Secretary of State and any reference to a sentence shall be construed as a reference to a sentence passed by the court imposing sentence or by the High Court on appeal as the case may require. No extract conviction shall be issued— during the period of four weeks after the day on which the conviction took place, except in so far as it is required as a warrant for the detention of the person convicted under any sentence which has been pronounced against him; nor where an intimation of intention to appeal or, in the case of an appeal under section 106(1)(b) to (e) , 108 or 108Aof this Act, a note of appeal is lodged, until the appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined. The Clerk of Justiciary shall furnish the necessary forms and instructions in relation to intimations of intention to appeal, notes of appeal or notices of application under this Part of this Act to— any person who demands them; and to officers of courts, governors of prisons, and such other officers or persons as he thinks fit. The governor of a prison shall cause the forms and instructions mentioned in subsection (1) above to be placed at the disposal of prisoners desiring to appeal or to make any application under this Part of this Act.

Except as otherwise provided in this Part of this Act, no court fees, or other fees or expenses shall be exigible from or awarded against an appellant or applicant in respect of an appeal or application under this Part of this Act. Non-compliance with— the provisions of this Act set out in subsection (3) below; or any rule of practice for the time being in force under this Part of this Act relating to appeals, shall not prevent the further prosecution of an appeal if the High Court or a judge thereof considers it just and proper that the non-compliance is waived or, in the manner directed by the High Court or judge, remedied by amendment or otherwise. Where the High Court or a judge thereof directs that the non-compliance is to be remedied, and the remedy is carried out, the appeal shall proceed. The provisions of this Act referred to in subsection (1) above are:— section 94 section 103(1), (4), (6) and (7) section 104(2) and (3) section 105 section 106(4) section 111 section 114 section 115 section 116 section 117 section 120(1), (3) and (4) section 121 section 122 section 126 section 128.

It is not competent to bring under review of the High Court by way of bill of advocation a decision taken at a first diet or a preliminary hearing. Without prejudice to section 74 of this Act, the prosecutor’s right to bring a decision under review of the High Court by way of bill of advocation in accordance with existing law and practice shall extend to the review of a decision of any court of solemn jurisdiction. Where a decision to which a bill of advocation relates is reversed on the review of the decision the prosecutor may, whether or not there has already been a trial diet at which evidence has been led, proceed against the accused by serving him with an indictment containing, subject to subsection (3) below, the charge or charges which were affected by the decision. The wording of the charge or charges referred to in subsection (2) above shall be as it was immediately before the decision appealed against. In this Part of this Act, unless the context otherwise requires— “ appellant ” includes a person who has been convicted and desires to appeal under this Part of the Act; “ sentence ” includes any order of the High Court made on conviction with reference to the person convicted or his wife or children, and any recommendation of the High Court as to the making of a deportation order in the case of a person convicted and the power of the High Court to pass a sentence includes a power to make any such order of the court or recommendation, and a recommendation so made by the High Court shall have the same effect for the purposes of Articles 20 and 21 of the Aliens Order 1953 as the certificate and recommendation of the convicting court. This Part of this Act applies to summary proceedings in respect of any offence which might prior to the passing of this Act, or which may under the provisions of this or any Act, whether passed before or after the passing of this Act, be tried summarily. Without prejudice to subsection (1) above, this Part of this Act also applies to procedure in all courts of summary jurisdiction in so far as they have jurisdiction in respect of— any offence or the recovery of a penalty under any enactment or rule of law which does not exclude summary procedure as well as, in accordance with section 211(3) and (4) of this Act, to the enforcement of a fine imposed in solemn proceedings; and any order ad factum praestandum, or other order of court or warrant competent to a court of summary jurisdiction. Where any statute provides for summary proceedings to be taken under any public general or local enactment, such proceedings shall be taken under this Part of this Act.

Except where any enactment otherwise expressly provides, all prosecutions under this Part of this Act shall be brought at the instance of the procurator fiscal. This section applies to any application to a court for any warrant or order of court— as incidental to proceedings by complaint; or where a court has power to grant any warrant or order of court, although no subsequent proceedings by complaint may follow thereon. An application to which this section applies may be made by petition at the instance of the prosecutor in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Where it is necessary for the execution of a warrant or order granted under this section, warrant to break open shut and lockfast places shall be implied. A warrant of apprehension or search may be in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form, and any warrant of apprehension or search shall, where it is necessary for its execution, imply warrant to officers of law to break open shut and lockfast places. A warrant of apprehension of an accused in the form mentioned in subsection (1) above shall imply warrant to officers of law to search for and to apprehend the accused, and to bring him before the court issuing the warrant, or before any other court competent to deal with the case, to answer to the charge on which such warrant is granted, and, in the meantime, until he can be so brought, to detain him in a police station, police cell, or other convenient place. A warrant of apprehension or other warrant shall not be required for the purpose of bringing before the court an accused who has been apprehended without a written warrant or who attends without apprehension in answer to any charge made against him. Proceedings under this Part of this Act in respect of any offence to which this section applies shall be commenced— within six months after the contravention occurred; in the case of a continuous contravention, within six months after the last date of such contravention, and it shall be competent in a prosecution of a contravention mentioned in paragraph (b) above to include the entire period during which the contravention occurred. This section applies to any offence triable only summarily and consisting of the contravention of any enactment, unless the enactment fixes a different time limit. For the purposes of this section proceedings shall be deemed to be commenced on the date on which a warrant to apprehend or to cite the accused is granted, if the warrant is executed without undue delay. This section applies where the prosecutor recommences proceedings by complaint containing both— a charge to which proceedings— transferred to a court by authority of an order made under section 137A or 137CA of this Act; or transferred to, or taken at, a court by authority of an order made under 137B or 137CB of this Act, relate; and a charge to which previous proceedings at that court relate. Where this section applies, proceedings for an offence charged in that complaint are, for the purposes of— section 136 of this Act (so far as applying to the offence); any provision of any other enactment for a time limit within which proceedings are to be commenced (so far as applying to the offence); and any rule of law relating to delay in bringing proceedings (so far as applying to the offence), to be regarded as having been commenced when any previous proceedings for the offence were first commenced. For the purposes of section 136 of this Act, and any provision of any other enactment for a time limit within which proceedings are to be commenced, in calculating the period since a contravention occurred— where a fixed penalty offer is made under section 302(1) of this Act, the period between the date of the offer and— the receipt by the procurator fiscal of a notice under section 302(4) of this Act; a recall of the fixed penalty by virtue of section 302C of this Act, shall be disregarded; where a compensation offer is made under section 302A(1) of this Act, the period between the date of the offer and— the receipt by the procurator fiscal of a notice under section 302A(4) of this Act; a recall of the offer by virtue of section 302C of this Act, where a work offer is made under section 303ZA(1) of this Act, the period between the date of the offer and— if the alleged offender does not accept the offer in the manner described in section 303ZA(5) of this Act, the last date for notice of acceptance of the offer; if the alleged offender accepts the offer as so described, but fails to complete the subsequent work order, the date specified for completion of the order, A certificate purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the prosecutor which states a period to be disregarded by virtue of subsection (1) above is sufficient authority for the period to be disregarded. Where a diet has been fixed in a summary prosecution, it shall be competent for the court, on a joint application in writing by the parties or their solicitors, to discharge the diet and fix an earlier diet in lieu. Where the prosecutor and the accused make joint application to the court (orally or in writing) for postponement of a diet which has been fixed, the court shall discharge the diet and fix a later diet in lieu unless the court considers that it should not do so because there has been unnecessary delay on the part of one of more of the parties. Where all the parties join in an application under subsection (2) above, the court may proceed under that subsection without hearing the parties. Where the prosecutor has intimated to the accused that he desires to postpone or accelerate a diet which has been fixed, and the accused refuses, or any of the accused refuse, to make a joint application to the court for that purpose, the prosecutor may make an incidental application for that purpose under section 134 of this Act;

and after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard, the court may discharge the diet and fix a later diet or, as the case may be, an earlier diet in lieu. Where an accused had intimated to the prosecutor and to all the other accused that he desires such postponement or acceleration and the prosecutor refuses, or any of the other accused refuse, to make a joint application to the court for that purpose, the accused who has so intimated may apply to the court for that purpose; and, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard, the court may discharge the diet and fix a later diet or, as the case may be, an earlier diet in lieu. This section applies where in a summary prosecution any diet has been fixed for a non-sitting day. Where in a summary prosecution any diet has been fixed for a day which is no longer suitable to the court it may, of its own accord, at any time before that diet— Where this subsection applies, the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to a sheriff court in any other district in that sheriffdom and for adjournment to a diet of that court. Subsection (1) above applies— where the accused person has been cited in summary proceedings to attend a diet of the court; or if the accused person has not been cited to such a diet, where summary proceedings against the accused have been commenced in the court. On an application under subsection (1) above the sheriff may make such order as is mentioned in that subsection. Where, because of exceptional circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen, it is not practicable for a sheriff court in a sheriffdom to proceed with some or all of the summary cases due to call at a diet, the sheriff principal may, of the sheriff principal’s own accord, make an order for— Where the sheriff clerk informs the prosecutor that, because of exceptional circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen, it is not practicable for the sheriff court or any other sheriff court in the sheriffdom to proceed with some or all of the summary cases due to call at a diet, the prosecutor shall as soon as practicable apply to the sheriff principal for an order for— the transfer of the proceedings to a sheriff court in another sheriffdom; and Where this subsection applies, the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff for an order for— adjournment to a diet of that court, if there are also summary proceedings against the accused person in that court in the other sheriffdom. Subsection (1A) above applies— Where the prosecutor intends to take summary proceedings against an accused person in the sheriff court, the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff for an order for authority for the proceedings to be taken at a sheriff court in another sheriffdom if there are also summary proceedings against the accused person in that court in the other sheriffdom. On an application under subsection (1) above the sheriff principal may make the order sought, provided that the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom consents. On an application under subsection (1A) or (1C) above, the sheriff is to make the order sought if— the sheriff considers that it would be expedient for the different cases involved to be dealt with by the same court; and a sheriff of the other sheriffdom consents. On the application of the prosecutor, a sheriff principal who has made an order under subsection (2) above may, if the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom mentioned in that subsection consents— On the application of the prosecutor, the sheriff who has made an order under subsection (2A) above (or another sheriff of the same sheriffdom) may, if a sheriff of the other sheriffdom mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection consents— that, because of exceptional circumstances (and without an order under subsection (3) below), it is likely that there would be an unusually high number of accused persons appearing from custody for the first calling of cases in summary prosecutions in the sheriff courts in the sheriffdom; and For the purposes of subsection (1) above, the order is for authority for summary proceedings against some or all of the accused persons to be— Subsection (2) applies— where the accused person has been cited in summary proceedings to attend a diet of a JP court, or if the accused person has not been cited to such a diet, where summary proceedings against the accused have been commenced in a JP court. The prosecutor may apply to a justice for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to another JP court in the sheriffdom (and for adjournment to a diet of that court). On an application under subsection (2), the justice may make the order sought. In this section and sections 137CB and 137CC, “ justice ” does not include the sheriff. Subsection (2) applies where the clerk of a JP court informs the prosecutor that, because of exceptional circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen, it is not practicable for the JP court or any other JP court in the sheriffdom to proceed with some or all of the summary cases due to call at a diet. The prosecutor shall as soon as practicable apply to the sheriff principal for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to a JP court in another sheriffdom (and for adjournment to a diet of that court). Subsection (4) applies where— the accused person has been cited in summary proceedings to attend a diet of a JP court, or if the accused person has not been cited to such a diet, summary proceedings against the accused have been commenced in a JP court, and there are also summary proceedings against the accused person in a JP court in another sheriffdom. The prosecutor may apply to a justice for an order for the transfer of the proceedings to a JP court in the other sheriffdom (and for adjournment to a diet of that court). Subsection (6) applies where— the prosecutor intends to take summary proceedings against an accused person in a JP court, and The prosecutor may apply to a justice for an order for authority for the proceedings to be taken at a JP court in the other sheriffdom. On an application under subsection (2), the sheriff principal may make the order sought with the consent of the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom. On an application under subsection (4) or (6), the justice is to make the order sought if— the justice considers that it would be expedient for the different cases involved to be dealt with by the same court, and a justice of the other sheriffdom consents. On the application of the prosecutor, the sheriff principal who has made an order under subsection (7) may, with the consent of the sheriff principal of the other sheriffdom— revoke the order, or vary it so as to restrict its effect. On the application of the prosecutor, the justice who has made an order under subsection (8) (or another justice of the same sheriffdom) may, with the consent of a justice of the other sheriffdom— Subsection (2) applies where the prosecutor believes— that, because of exceptional circumstances (and without an order under subsection (3)), it is likely that there would be an unusually high number of accused persons appearing from custody for the first calling of cases in summary prosecutions in the JP courts in the sheriffdom, and that it would not be practicable for those courts to deal with all the cases involved. The prosecutor may apply to the sheriff principal for an order authorising summary proceedings against some or all of the accused persons to be— taken at a JP court in another sheriffdom, and at that JP court, or at any of the JP courts referred to in subsection (1) as may at the first calling of the case be appointed for further proceedings. An order under subsection (3) may be made by reference to a particular period or particular circumstances. Where an accused person is due to be sentenced at a sheriff court for an offence, the prosecutor may apply to the sheriff for an order for— the transfer to the sheriff court of any case against the accused in respect of which sentencing is pending at any JP court in the sheriffdom; and the case to call at a diet of the sheriff court. On an application under subsection (1) above, the sheriff is to make the order sought if the sheriff considers that it would be expedient for the different cases to be disposed of at the same court at the same time. If, in a case transferred under subsection (1) above, the finding of guilt was before a justice of the peace, the sentencing powers of the sheriff in the case are restricted to those of the justice. All proceedings under this Part of this Act for the trial of offences or recovery of penalties shall be instituted by complaint signed by the prosecutor or by a solicitor on behalf of a prosecutor other than the procurator fiscal. The complaint shall be in the form— set out in Schedule 5 to this Act; or A solicitor may appear for and conduct any prosecution on behalf of a prosecutor other than the procurator fiscal. Schedule 3 to this Act shall have effect as regards complaints under this Act. On any complaint under this Part of this Act being laid before a judge of the court in which the complaint is brought, he shall have power on the motion of the prosecutor— to pronounce an order assigning a diet for the disposal of the case to which the accused may be cited as mentioned in section 141 of this Act; to grant warrant to apprehend the accused where this appears to the judge expedient; to grant warrant to search the person, dwelling-house and repositories of the accused and any place where he may be found for any documents, articles, or property likely to afford evidence of his guilt of, or guilty participation in, any offence charged in the complaint, and to take possession of such documents, articles or property; to grant any other order or warrant of court or warrant which may be competent in the circumstances. The power of a judge under subsection (1) above— to pronounce an order assigning a diet for the disposal of the case may be exercised on his behalf by the clerk of court; to grant a warrant to apprehend the accused shall be exercisable notwithstanding that there is power whether at common law or under any Act to apprehend him without a warrant. This Act shall be a sufficient warrant for — the citation of the accused and witnesses in a summary prosecution to any ordinary sitting of the court or to any special diet fixed by the court or any adjournment thereof. Without prejudice to section 141(2A) of this Act,such citation shall be in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form and shall, in the case of the accused, proceed on an induciae of at least 48 hours unless in the special circumstances of the case the court fixes a shorter induciae. Where the charge in the complaint in respect of which an accused is cited is of committing an offence listed in subsection (2C)(c), the citation shall include or be accompanied by notice to the accused— that, if he does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at, or for the purposes of, the hearing (or at any related commissioner proceedings) , the court will do so. A failure to comply with subsection (2A) above does not affect the validity or lawfulness of any such citation or any other element of the proceedings against the accused. For the purposes of subsection (2A)— “commissioner proceedings” means proceedings before a commissioner appointed under section 271I(1) or by virtue of section 272(1)(b), The citation of the accused or a witness in a summary prosecution to any ordinary sitting of the court or to any special diet fixed by the court or to any adjourned sitting or diet shall be effected by an officer of law or other person— delivering the citation to him personally; or leaving it for him— at his dwelling-house or place of business with a resident or (as the case may be) employee there; or where he has no known dwelling-house or place of business, at any other place in which he may be resident at the time. Notwithstanding subsection (1) above, citation may also be effected— where the accused or witness is the master of, or a seaman or person employed in a vessel, if the citation is left with a person on board the vessel and connected with it; where the accused is an organisation other than a body of trustees or a partnership prosecuted by virtue of section 1 of the Partnerships (Prosecution) (Scotland) Act 2013— if the citation is left at its ordinary place of business with a partner, director, secretary or other official; or if it is cited in the same manner as if the proceedings were in a civil court; ... where the accused is a body of trustees, if the citation is left with any one of them who is resident in Scotland or with their known solicitor in Scotland or where the accused is a partnership prosecuted by virtue of section 1 of the Partnerships (Prosecution) (Scotland) Act 2013, if the citation is left with any one of the partners who is resident in Scotland; ; and in sub-paragraph (b)(i) of this subsection references to the director or secretary or other official, in relation to a limited liability partnership, are to any member of the limited liability partnership Notwithstanding subsection (1) above and section 140(2) of this Act, citation of the accused may also be effected by an officer of law affixing to the door of the accused’s dwelling-house or place of business a notice in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form— informing the accused that he may collect a copy of the complaint from a police station specified in the notice; and calling upon him to appear and answer the complaint at such diet as shall be so specified. Where the citation of the accused is effected by notice under subsection (2A) above, the induciae shall be reckoned from the date specified by virtue of paragraph (a) of that subsection. Subject to subsection (4) below and without prejudice to the effect of any other manner of citation, the citation of the accused or a witness to a sitting or diet or adjourned sitting or diet as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be effective if it is . . .— in the case of the accused, signed by the prosecutor and sent by post in a registered envelope or through the recorded delivery service or by ordinary post; and in the case of a witness, sent by or on behalf of the prosecutor by ordinary post, to the dwelling-house or place of business of the accused or witness or, if he has no known dwelling-house or place of business, to any other place in which he may be resident at the time. Subject to subsection (4) below and without prejudice to the effect of any other manner of citation, the citation of the accused or a witness to a sitting or diet or adjourned sitting or diet as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall also be effective if an electronic citation is sent— by or on behalf of the prosecutor; and to the home or business email address of the person. Where the accused fails to appear at a diet or sitting or adjourned diet or sitting to which he has been cited in the manner provided by this section, sections 143(7), 150(3) and 150A(1) of this Act shall not apply unless it is proved to the court that he received the citation or that its contents came to his knowledge. The production in court of any letter or other communication (including a legible version of an electronic communication) purporting to be written by or on behalf of an accused who has been cited as mentioned in subsection (2A) or (3) above in such terms as to infer that the contents of such citation came to his knowledge, shall be admissible as evidence of that fact for the purposes of subsection (4) above. The production in court of a legible version of an electronic communication which— bears to have come from an accused's email address; and is in such terms as to infer that the contents of an electronic citation sent as mentioned in subsection (3A) above came to the accused's knowledge, shall (even if not purporting to be written by or on behalf of the accused) be admissible as evidence of those facts for the purposes of subsection (4) above. The citation of a witness to a sitting or diet or adjourned sitting or diet as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be effective if— it is sent by or on behalf of the accused's solicitor by ordinary post— to the dwelling-house or place of business of the witness; or if he has no known dwelling-house or place of business, to any other place in which he may be resident at the time; or an electronic citation is sent by or on behalf of the accused's solicitor by means of electronic communication to the home or business email address of the witness. Where a witness fails to appear at a diet or sitting or adjourned diet or sitting to which he has been cited in the manner provided by this section, subsection (2) of section 156 of this Act shall not apply unless it is proved to the court that he received the citation or that its contents came to his knowledge. When the citation of any person is effected by post in terms of this section or any other provision of this Act to which this section is applied, the induciae shall be reckoned from 24 hours after the time of posting. When the citation of any person is effected by electronic citation under subsection (3A) above, the induciae shall be reckoned from the end of the day on which the citation was sent. It shall be sufficient evidence that a citation has been sent by post in terms of this section or any other provision of this Act mentioned in subsection (6) above, if there is produced in court a written execution, signed by the person who signed the citation in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form, together with the post office receipt for the relative registered or recorded delivery letter; or citation has been effected by notice under subsection (2A) above, if there is produced in court a written execution, in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form, signed by the officer of law who affixed the notice. It shall be sufficient evidence that citation has been effected electronically under subsection (3A) or (5A)(b) above if there is produced in court a legible version of an electronic communication which— bears to have been sent to the home or business email address of the person being cited. In this section, an “electronic citation” is a citation in electronic form which— is signed by electronic signature— in the case of citation of the accused, by the prosecutor; in the case of citation of a witness, by or on behalf of the prosecutor or the accused's solicitor. Where summary proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child, the sheriff shall sit either in a different building or room from that in which he usually sits or on different days from those on which other courts in the building are engaged in criminal proceedings: and no person shall be present at any sitting for the purposes of such proceedings except— members and officers of the court; parties to the case before the court, their solicitors and counsel, and witnesses and other persons directly concerned in that case; bona fide representatives of news gathering or reporting organisations present for the purpose of the preparation of contemporaneous reports of the proceedings; A sheriff sitting summarily for the purpose of hearing a charge against, or an application relating to, a person who is believed to be a child may, if he thinks fit to do so, proceed with the hearing and determination of the charge or application, notwithstanding that it is discovered that the person in question is not a child. When a sheriff sitting summarily has remanded a child for information to be obtained with respect to him, any sheriff sitting summarily in the same place— may in his absence extend the period for which he is remanded provided that he appears before a sheriff or a justice at least once every 21 days; when the required information has been obtained, may deal with him finally, and where the sheriff by whom he was originally remanded has recorded a finding that he is guilty of an offence charged against him it shall not be necessary for any court which subsequently deals with him under this subsection to hear evidence as to the commission of that offence, except in so far as it may consider that such evidence will assist the court in determining the manner in which he should be dealt with. Any direction in any enactment that a charge shall be brought before a juvenile court shall be construed as a direction that he shall be brought before the sheriff sitting as a court of summary jurisdiction, and no such direction shall be construed as restricting the powers of any justice or justices to entertain an application for bail or for a remand, and to hear such evidence as may be necessary for that purpose. This section does not apply to summary proceedings before the sheriff in respect of an offence where a child has been charged jointly with a person who is not a child : but see section 142A. Where summary proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child who is charged jointly with a person who is not a child, the sheriff may sit either in a different building or room from that in which the sheriff usually sits or on different days from those on which other courts in the building are engaged in criminal proceedings. Where summary proceedings are brought in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a child who is charged jointly with a person who is not a child, the sheriff may direct that no person is to be present at any sitting for the purposes of such proceedings except— parties to the case before the court, their solicitors and counsel, and witnesses and other persons directly concerned in that case, such other persons as the sheriff may specially authorise to be present. A sheriff sitting summarily for the purpose of hearing a charge against, or an application relating to, a person who is believed to be a child may, if the sheriff thinks fit, proceed with the hearing and determination of the charge or application even though it is discovered that the person in question is not a child. Subsections (3) and (4) of section 142 apply to summary proceedings to which this section applies as they apply to such proceedings to which section 142 applies. The sheriff must, in considering whether to take the steps mentioned in subsection (1) or to make a direction as mentioned in subsection (2), have regard to the rights of the person with whom the child is jointly charged to effectively participate in the proceedings. Without prejudice to any other or wider powers conferred by statute, this section shall apply in relation to the prosecution by summary procedure of an organisation. Proceedings may be taken against the organisation in its corporate capacity, and in that event any penalty imposed shall be recovered by civil diligence in accordance with section 221 of this Act. Proceedings may be taken against an individual representative of a partnership, association or body corporate as follows:— in the case of a partnership or firm, any one of the partners, or the manager or the person in charge or locally in charge of its affairs; in the case of an association or body corporate, the managing director or the secretary or other person in charge, or locally in charge, of its affairs, may be dealt with as if he was the person offending, and the offence shall be deemed to be the offence of the partnership, association or body corporate ; and in paragraph 3(b) of this subsection references to the managing director or the secretary, in relation to a limited liability partnership, are to any member of the limited liability partnership. stating objections to the competency or relevancy of the complaint or proceedings; tendering a plea of guilty or not guilty; appear by a representative. In subsection (4) above, “ representative ” means— an individual representative as mentioned in subsection (3) above; or an employee , officer or official of the organisation duly appointed by it for the purpose of the proceedings.

The matters referred to in subsection (7)(b) above are— that citation has been effected or other intimation of the diet has been received; and that it is in the interests of justice to proceed as mentioned in subsection (7) above. The reference in subsection (7) above to proceeding to hear and dispose of the case includes, in relation to a trial diet, proceeding with the trial. Where the accused is present at the first calling of the case in a summary prosecution and— the complaint has been served on him, or the complaint or the substance thereof has been read to him, or he has legal assistance in his defence, he shall, unless the court adjourns the case under the section 145 or 145ZA of this Act and subject to subsection (4) below, be asked to plead to the charge. Where the accused is not present at a calling of the case in a summary prosecution and either— the prosecutor produces to the court written intimation that the accused pleads not guilty or pleads guilty . . . counsel or a solicitor, or a person not being counsel or a solicitor who satisfies the court that he is authorised by the accused, appears on behalf of the accused and tenders a plea of not guilty or a plea of guilty, subsection (3) below shall apply. Where this subsection applies— in the case of a plea of not guilty, this Part of this Act except section 146(2) shall apply in like manner as if the accused had appeared and tendered the plea; and in the case of a plea of guilty, the court may, if the prosecutor accepts the plea, proceed to hear and dispose of the case in the absence of the accused in like manner as if he had appeared and pled guilty, or may, if it thinks fit, continue the case to another diet and require the attendance of the accused with a view to pronouncing sentence in his presence. Where the prosecutor is not satisfied, in relation to a written intimation of a plea— that the intimation of the plea has been made or authorised by the accused; or that the terms of the plea are clear, the court may continue the case to another diet. The clerk of court may perform the functions of the court under— subsections (2) and (3) above in relation to a plea of not guilty; subsection (3ZA) above, without the court being properly constituted. Where an accused charged with an offence listed in subsection (3AA)(b) is present, whether or not with a solicitor, at a calling of the case in a summary prosecution, he shall be told— that if he does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at, or for the purposes of, the hearing, the court will do so. For the purposes of subsection (3A)— A failure to comply with subsection (3A) above does not affect the validity or lawfulness of anything done at the calling of the case or any other element of the proceedings against the accused. Any objection to the competency or relevancy of a summary complaint or the proceedings thereon, or any denial that the accused is the person charged by the police with the offence shall be stated before the accused pleads to the charge or any plea is tendered on his behalf. No objection or denial such as is mentioned in subsection (4) above shall be allowed to be stated or issued at any future diet in the case except with the leave of the court, which may be granted only on cause shown. Where in pursuance of subsection (3)(b) above the court proceeds to hear and dispose of a case in the absence of the accused, it shall not pronounce a sentence of imprisonment or of detention in a young offenders institution... or other establishment. In this section a reference to a plea of guilty shall include a reference to a plea of guilty to only part of the charge, but where a plea of guilty to only part of a charge is not accepted by the prosecutor it shall be deemed to be a plea of not guilty. It shall not be competent for any person appearing to answer a complaint, or for counsel or a solicitor appearing for the accused in his absence, to plead want of due citation or informality therein or in the execution thereof. In this section, a reference to the first calling of a case includes a reference to any adjourned diet fixed by virtue of section 145 , 145ZAor 145A of this Act. Where the accused is present at the first calling of a case in a summary prosecution the court may, in order to allow time for inquiry into the case or for any other cause which it considers reasonable, adjourn the case under this section, for such period as it considers appropriate, without calling on the accused to plead to any charge against him but remanding him in custody or on bail or ordaining him to appear at the diet thus fixed; and, subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, the court may from time to time so adjourn the case. Where the accused is remanded in custody, the total period for which he is so remanded under this section shall not exceed 21 days and no one period of adjournment shall, except on special cause shown, exceed 7 days. Where the accused is remanded on bail or ordained to appear, no one period of adjournment shall exceed 28 days. Where the accused is present at the first calling of a case in a summary prosecution the court may, where it makes an assessment order in respect of the accused, adjourn the case under this section for a period not exceeding 28 days without calling on the accused to plead to any charge against him; and the court may so adjourn the case for a further period not exceeding 7 days. Without prejudice to section 150 of this Act, where the accused is not present at the first calling of the case in a summary prosecution, the court may (whether or not the prosecutor is able to provide evidence that the accused has been duly cited) adjourn the case under this section for such period as it considers appropriate; and subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, the court may from time to time so adjourn the case. An adjournment under this section shall be— for the purposes of allowing— the accused to appear in answer to the complaint; or time for inquiry into the case; or for any other cause the court considers reasonable. No one period of adjournment under this section shall exceed 28 days. The clerk of court may perform the functions of the court under subsection (1) above without the court being properly constituted. This section applies where the accused in a summary prosecution— pleads not guilty to the charge; or pleads guilty to only part of the charge and the prosecutor does not accept the partial plea. The court may proceed to trial at once unless either party moves for an adjournment and the court considers it expedient to grant it. The court may adjourn the case for trial to as early a diet as is consistent with the just interest of both parties, and the prosecutor shall, if requested by the accused, furnish him with a copy of the complaint if he does not already have one. Where a case is adjourned under subsection (3) above, the court shall intimate to the accused the trial diet assigned and any intermediate diet fixed. When intimating a diet under subsection (3ZA) above, the court shall inform the accused that, if he fails to appear at any diet in the proceedings in respect of the case, the court might hear and dispose of the case in his absence. Where, under subsection (3) above, the prosecutor furnishes an accused charged with an offence listed in subsection (3AA)(b) with a copy of the complaint, it shall be accompanied by a notice to the accused— that, if he does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at, or for the purposes of, the hearing, the court will do so. an offence to which section 288C applies, an offence to which section 288DC applies. A failure to comply with subsection (3A) above does not affect the validity or lawfulness of any such copy complaint or any other element of the proceedings against the accused. Where the accused is brought before the court from custody the court shall inform the accused of his right to an adjournment of the case for not less than 48 hours and if he requests such adjournment before the prosecutor has commenced his proof, subject to subsection (5) below, the adjournment shall be granted. Where the court considers that it is necessary to secure the examination of witnesses who otherwise would not be available, the case may proceed to trial at once or on a shorter adjournment than 48 hours. Where the accused is in custody, he may be committed to prison or to legalised police cells or to any other place to which he may lawfully be committed pending trial— if he is neither granted bail nor ordained to appear; or if he is granted bail on a condition imposed under section 24(6) of this Act that a sum of money is deposited in court, until the accused or a cautioner on his behalf has so deposited that sum. The court may from time to time at any stage of the case on the motion of either party or ex proprio motu grant such adjournment as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the case, and where from any cause a diet has to be continued from day to day it shall not be necessary to intimate the continuation to the accused. It shall not be necessary for the prosecutor to establish a charge or part of a charge to which the accused pleads guilty. The court may, in any case where it considers it expedient, permit any witness for the defence to be examined prior to evidence for the prosecution having been led or concluded, but in any such case the accused shall be entitled to lead additional evidence after the case for the prosecution is closed. Subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, a person charged with an offence in summary proceedings shall not be detained in that respect for a total of more than 40 days after the bringing of the complaint in court unless his trial is commenced within that period, failing which he shall be liberated forthwith and thereafter he shall be for ever free from all question or process for that offence. On an application made for the purpose, the sheriff may, on cause shown— extend the period mentioned in subsection (1) above; and order the accused to be detained awaiting trial, for such period as the sheriff thinks fit. Before determining an application under subsection (2) above, the sheriff shall give the parties an opportunity to be heard. However, where all the parties join in the application, the sheriff may determine the application without hearing the parties and, accordingly, may dispense with any hearing previously appointed for the purpose of considering the application. The grant or refusal of any application to extend the period mentioned in subsection (1) above may be appealed against by note of appeal presented to the Sheriff Appeal Court; and that Court may affirm, reverse or amend the determination made on such application. For the purposes of this section, a trial shall be taken to commence when the first witness is sworn. The court may, when adjourning a case for trial in terms of section 146(3) of this Act, and may also, at any time thereafter, whether before, on or after any date assigned as a trial diet, fix a diet (to be known as an intermediate diet) for the purpose of ascertaining, so far as is reasonably practicable, whether the case is likely to proceed to trial on any date assigned as a trial diet and, in particular— the state of preparation of the prosecutor and of the accused with respect to their cases; whether the accused intends to adhere to the plea of not guilty; and how many witnesses are required by— to attend the trial; At an intermediate diet in summary proceedings in the sheriff court, the court shall also— ascertain whether subsection (1B) below applies to any person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial or to the accused, and if so, consider whether it should make an order under section 271A(7) or 271D(2) of this Act in relation to person or, as the case may be, the accused. to a person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial if that person is, or is likely to be, a vulnerable witness, Where at an intermediate diet the court concludes that the case is unlikely to proceed to trial on the date assigned for the trial diet, the court— may postpone the trial diet; and may fix a further intermediate diet. The court may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, adjourn an intermediate diet. At an intermediate diet, the court shall also dispose of any application for a witness anonymity order under section 271P of this Act of which notice has been given in accordance with section 271Q(2)(a) of this Act. At an intermediate diet, the court may consider an application for the purposes of subsection (1) of section 275 of this Act; and, notwithstanding subsection (1) above, the court may fix a diet under that subsection for the purpose only of considering such an application. Subsection (3A) above shall not operate so as to relieve any court prescribed by order under subsection (7) below of its duty, which arises by virtue of the operation of that subsection, to fix an intermediate diet for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1) above. At an intermediate diet, the court shall make such enquiry of the parties as is reasonably required for the purposes of subsections (1) and (3A) above. The accused shall attend an intermediate diet of which he has received intimation or to which he has been cited unless— he is legally represented; and the court considers that, on cause shown, he need not attend. A plea of guilty may be tendered at the intermediate diet. The foregoing provisions of this section shall have effect as respects any court prescribed by the Secretary of State by order, in relation to proceedings commenced after such date as may be so prescribed, with the following modifications— in subsection (1), for the word “may” where it first appears, there shall be substituted “shall, subject to subsection (1A) below,”; and after subsection (1) there shall be inserted the following subsections— If, on a joint application by the prosecutor and the accused made at any time before the commencement of the intermediate diet, the court considers it inappropriate to have such a diet, the duty under subsection (1) above shall not apply and the court shall discharge any such diet already fixed. The court may consider an application under subsection (1A) above without hearing the parties. An order under subsection (7) above shall be made by statutory instrument, which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Where, in a case which is adjourned for trial, the charge is of committing an offence listed in subsection (10), the court shall order that, before the trial diet, there shall be a diet under this section and ordain the accused then to attend. At a diet under this section, the court shall ascertain whether or not the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of his defence at the trial. Where, following inquiries for the purposes of subsection (2) above, it appears to the court that the accused has not engaged a solicitor for the purposes of his defence at his trial, it may adjourn the diet under this section for a period of not more than 48 hours and ordain the accused then to attend. A diet under this section may be conjoined with an intermediate diet. A court may, at a diet under this section, postpone the trial diet. a solicitor has requested, under subsection (6) above, that a diet under this section be dispensed with; and before that diet has been held or dispensed with, the solicitor— the solicitor shall forthwith inform the court in writing of those facts. It is the duty of a solicitor who— was engaged for the purposes of the defence of the accused at the trial— in the case of a diet which, under subsection (6) above, is dispensed with, at the time when it was so dispensed with; and after that time but before the trial diet— forthwith to inform the court in writing of those facts. On being so informed, the court shall order a further diet under this section. For the purposes of this section, the list is— Where, in any summary proceedings in the sheriff court, no intermediate diet is fixed, the court shall, at the trial diet before the first witness is sworn— ascertain whether subsection (2) below applies to any person who is to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial or to the accused and, if so, consider whether it should make an order under section 271A(7) or 271D(2) of this Act in relation to the person or, as the case may be, the accused, and if— section 288E of this Act applies to the proceedings, or an order under section 288F(2) has been made in the proceedings, ascertain whether or not the accused has engaged a solicitor for the purposes of his defence at the trial. to the accused if, were he to give evidence at or for the purposes of the trial, he would be, or be likely to be, a vulnerable witness. Where, following inquiries for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above, it appears to the court that the accused has not engaged a solicitor for the purposes of his defence at the trial, the court may adjourn the trial diet for a period of not more than 48 hours and ordain the accused then to attend. At the trial diet, the court may ask the prosecutor and the accused any question in connection with any matter which it is required to ascertain or consider under subsection (1) above. In summary proceedings, it is the duty of a solicitor who is engaged by the accused for the purposes of his defence at trial to notify the court and the prosecutor of that fact forthwith in writing. The duty under subsection (1) above shall be regarded as having been complied with if the solicitor has represented the accused at the first calling of the case— by submitting a written intimation of the accused's plea as described in subsection (2)(a) of section 144 of this Act; or by appearing on behalf of the accused— as described in subsection (2)(b) of that section; or with the accused present, and has, when acting as described in paragraph (a) or (b) above, notified the court and the prosecutor orally or in writing that the solicitor is also engaged by the accused for the purposes of his defence at trial. Where a solicitor referred to in subsection (1) above— it is the duty of the solicitor to notify the court and the prosecutor of that fact forthwith in writing. It shall not be competent for the accused in a summary prosecution to found on a plea of alibi unless he gives, at any time before the first witness is sworn, notice to the prosecutor of the plea with particulars as to time and place and of the witnesses by whom it is proposed to prove it; and, on such notice being given, the prosecutor shall be entitled, if he so desires, to an adjournment of the case. It shall not be competent for the accused in a summary prosecution for an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies to found on a defence of consent unless, not less than 10 clear days before the trial diet, he gives notice to the prosecutor of the defence and of the witnesses by whom he proposes to maintain it. The court may, however, on cause shown, allow the accused to maintain such a defence after giving such notice although given after the time limit specified in subsection (1) above. In subsection (1) above, the reference to a defence of consent is a reference to the defence which is stated by reference to the complainer’s consent to the act which is the subject matter of the charge or the accused’s belief as to that consent. In subsection (3) above, “complainer” has the same meaning as in section 274 of this Act. It is not competent for an accused in a summary prosecution to found on a defence to which this subsection applies unless— notice of the defence has been given to the prosecutor in accordance with subsection (5) below; or the court, on cause shown, allows the accused to found on the defence despite the failure so to give notice of it. to a special defence; to a defence which may be made out by leading evidence calculated to exculpate the accused by incriminating a co-accused; to a defence of automatism or coercion; in a prosecution for an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, to a defence of consent. the accused lodges a defence statement under section 125 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 13), the statement is lodged— where an intermediate diet is to be held, at or before the diet, or where such a diet is not to be held, no later than 10 clear days before the trial diet, and the accused's defence consists of or includes a defence to which that subsection applies. In subsection (2)(d) above, the reference to a defence of consent is a reference to the defence which is stated by reference to the complainer's consent to the act which is the subject matter of the charge or the accused's belief as to that consent. In subsection (3) above, “complainer” has the same meaning as in section 274 of this Act. Notice of a defence is given in accordance with this subsection if it is given— where an intermediate diet is to be held, at or before that diet; or where such a diet is not to be held, no later than 10 clear days before the trial diet, together with the particulars mentioned in subsection (6) below. The particulars are— in relation to a defence of alibi, particulars as to time and place; and in relation to that or any other defence, particulars of the witnesses who may be called to give evidence in support of the defence. Where notice of a defence to which subsection (1) above applies is given to the prosecutor, the prosecutor is entitled to an adjournment of the case. The entitlement to an adjournment under subsection (7) above may be exercised whether or not— the notice was given in accordance with subsection (5) above; the entitlement could have been exercised at an earlier diet. This section applies where the accused in a summary prosecution fails to appear at any diet of which he has received intimation, or to which he has been cited other than a diet which, by virtue of section 148(5) of this Act, he is not required to attend. The court may adjourn the proceedings to another diet, and order the accused to attend at such diet, and appoint intimation of the diet to be made to him. The court may grant warrant to apprehend the accused. The grant, under subsection (3) above, at an intermediate diet or a diet under section 148A of this Act of a warrant to apprehend the accused has the effect of discharging the trial diet as respects that accused. Subsection (3A) above is subject to any order to different effect made by the court when granting the warrant.

An order under subsection (3B) above— for the purpose of having a trial in absence of the accused under section 150A of this Act, may be made on the motion of the prosecutor; Intimation under subsection (2) above shall be sufficiently given by an officer of law, or by letter signed by the clerk of court or prosecutor and sent to the accused at his last known address by registered post or by the recorded delivery service, and the production in court of the written execution of such officer or of an acknowledgement or certificate of the delivery of the letter issued by the postal operator shall be sufficient evidence of such intimation having been duly given. An accused who without reasonable excuse fails to attend any diet of which he has been given due notice, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; and to a period of imprisonment not exceeding— in the JP court , 60 days; or in the sheriff court, 12 months. A penalty under subsection (8) above shall be imposed in addition to any other penalty which it is competent for the court to impose, notwithstanding that the total of penalties imposed may exceed the maximum penalty which it is competent to impose in respect of the original offence. 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; In any proceedings in relation to an offence under subsection (8) above, the fact that (as the case may be) an accused— shall, unless challenged by preliminary objection before his plea is recorded, be held as admitted. At any time before the trial in the prosecution in which the failure to appear occurred, it is competent to amend the complaint to include an additional charge of an offence under subsection (8). Where the accused does not appear at a diet (apart from a diet fixed for the first calling of the case), the court— if satisfied as to the matters specified in subsection (2) below, may proceed to hear and dispose of the case in the absence of the accused in like manner as if the accused were present. The matters referred in subsection (1)(b) above are— that citation of the accused has been effected or the accused has received other intimation of the diet; and that it is in the interests of justice to proceed as mentioned in subsection (1) above. In subsection (1) above, the reference to proceeding to hear and dispose of the case includes, in relation to a trial diet, proceeding with the trial. Where the court is considering whether to proceed in pursuance of subsection (1) above, it shall— if satisfied that there is a solicitor with authority to act— for the purposes of representing the accused's interests at the hearing on whether to proceed that way; and if it proceeds that way, for the purposes of representing the accused's further interests at the diet (including, in relation to a trial diet, presenting a defence at the trial), if there is no such solicitor, at its own hand appoint a solicitor to act for those purposes if it considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so. It is the duty of a solicitor appointed under subsection (4)(b) above to act in the best interests of the accused. In all other respects, a solicitor so appointed has, and may be made subject to, the same obligations and has, and may be given, the same authority as if engaged by the accused; and any employment of and instructions given to counsel by the solicitor shall proceed and be treated accordingly. a solicitor allowed to act under subsection (4)(a) above no longer has authority to act; or a solicitor appointed under subsection (4)(b) above is no longer able to act in the best interests of the accused, the court may relieve that solicitor and appoint another solicitor for the purposes referred to in subsection (4) above. Subsections (4)(b) and (7) above do not apply in the case of proceedings— in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies; Reference in this section to a solicitor appointed under subsection (4)(b) above includes reference to a solicitor appointed under subsection (7) above. Where the court proceeds in pursuance of subsection (1) above, it shall not in the absence of the accused pronounce a sentence of imprisonment or detention. Nothing in this section prevents— a warrant being granted at any stage of proceedings for the apprehension of the accused; a case subsequently being adjourned (in particular, with a view to having the accused present at any proceedings). Where the court is unable to proceed owing to the death, illness or absence of the presiding judge, it shall be lawful for the clerk of court— where the diet has not been called, to convene the court and adjourn the diet; where the diet has been called but no evidence has been led, to adjourn the diet; and where the diet has been called and evidence has been led— with the agreement of the parties, to desert the diet pro loco et tempore; or to adjourn the diet. Where, under subsection (1)(c)(i) above, a diet has been deserted pro loco et tempore, any new prosecution charging the accused with the same or any similar offence arising out of the same facts shall be brought within two months of the date on which the diet was deserted notwithstanding that any other time limit for the commencement of such prosecution has elapsed. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, a new prosecution shall be deemed to commence on the date on which a warrant to apprehend or to cite the accused is granted, if such warrant is executed without undue delay. It shall be competent at the diet of trial, at any time before the first witness is sworn, for the court, on the application of the prosecutor, to desert the diet pro loco et tempore. If, at a diet of trial, the court refuses an application by the prosecutor to adjourn the trial or to desert the dietpro loco et tempore, and the prosecutor is unable or unwilling to proceed with the trial, the court shall desert the diet simpliciter. Where the court has deserted a diet simpliciter under subsection (2) above (and the court’s decision in that regard has not been reversed on appeal), it shall not be competent for the prosecutor to raise a fresh libel. two or more complaints against an accused call for trial in the same court on the same day; and they each contain one or more charges to which the accused pleads not guilty, the prosecutor may apply to the court for those charges to be tried together at that diet despite the fact that they are not all contained in the one complaint. On an application under subsection (1) above, the court is to try those charges together if it appears to the court that it is expedient to do so. For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2) above, any other charges contained in the complaints are (without prejudice to further proceedings as respects those other charges) to be disregarded. Where charges are tried together under this section, they are to be treated (including, in particular, for the purposes of and in connection with the leading of evidence, proof and verdict) as if they were contained in one complaint. But the complaints mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above are, for the purposes of further proceedings (including as to sentence), to be treated as separate complaints. Subject to section 150A of this Act and subsection (2) below, no part of a trial shall take place outwith the presence of the accused. but if he is not legally represented the court shall appoint counsel or a solicitor to represent his interests during such absence. If a witness in a summary prosecution— wilfully fails to attend after being duly cited; or unlawfully refuses to be sworn; or after the oath has been administered to him refuses to answer any question which the court may allow; or prevaricates in his evidence, he shall be deemed guilty of contempt of court and be liable to be summarily punished forthwith for such contempt by a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or by imprisonment for any period not exceeding 21 days. Where punishment is summarily imposed as mentioned in subsection (1) above, the clerk of court shall enter in the record of the proceedings the acts constituting the contempt or the statements forming the prevarication. Subsections (1) and (2) above are without prejudice to the right of the prosecutor to proceed by way of formal complaint for any such contempt where a summary punishment, as mentioned in the said subsection (1), is not imposed. Any witness who, having been duly cited in accordance with section 140 of this Act— fails without reasonable excuse, after receiving at least 48 hours’ notice, to attend for precognition by a prosecutor at the time and place mentioned in the citation served on him; or refuses when so cited to give information within his knowledge regarding any matter relative to the commission of the offence in relation to which such precognition is taken, shall be liable to the like punishment as is provided in subsection (1) above. In any summary proceedings, the court may, on the application of any of the parties, issue a warrant for the apprehension of a witness if subsection (2) or (3) below applies in relation to the witness. This subsection applies if the court is satisfied by evidence on oath that the witness is being deliberately obstructive and is not likely to attend to give evidence at any diet in the proceedings without being compelled to do so. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, a witness who, having been duly cited to any diet, fails to appear at the diet is to be presumed, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, to have so failed deliberately and obstructively. may be disposed of in court or in chambers after such enquiry or hearing (if any) as the court considers appropriate. so far as necessary for the execution of the warrant, to break open shut and lockfast places. It shall not be competent in summary proceedings for a court to issue a warrant for the apprehension of a witness otherwise than in accordance with this section. Section 135(3) of this Act makes provision as to bringing before the court a person apprehended under a warrant issued under this section. In this section and section 156A, “the court” means the court in which the witness is to give evidence. Where a witness is brought before the court in pursuance of a warrant issued under section 156 of this Act, the court shall, after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard, make an order— On making an order under subsection (1)(b) above in respect of a witness, the court shall impose such conditions as it considers necessary with a view to securing that the witness appears at the diet at which he is to give evidence. Section 25 of this Act shall apply in relation to an order under subsection (1)(b) above as it applies to an order granting bail, but with the following modifications— references to the accused shall be read as if they were references to the witness in respect of whom the order under subsection (1)(b) above is made; subsection (3) shall be read as if for the words from “relating” to “offence” in the third place where it occurs there were substituted “ at which the witness is to give evidence ”. A witness who, having been released on bail by virtue of an order under subsection (1)(b) of section 156A of this Act, fails without reasonable excuse— to comply with any condition imposed under subsection (6) of that section, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to the penalties specified in subsection (2) below. where conviction is in the JP court, not exceeding 60 days; where conviction is in the sheriff court, not exceeding 12 months. Section 28 of this Act shall apply in respect of a witness who has been released on bail by virtue of an order under section 156A(1)(b) of this Act as it applies to an accused released on bail, but with the following modifications— in subsection (2), the reference to the court to which the accused's application for bail was first made shall be read as if it were a reference to the court which made the order under section 156A(1)(b) of this Act in respect of the witness; references to the order granting bail and original order granting bail shall be read as if they were references to the order under section 156A(1)(b) of this Act and the original such order respectively; paragraph (a) shall be read as if at the end there were inserted “ and make an order under section 156A(1)(a) or (c) of this Act in respect of the witness ”; paragraph (c) shall be read as if for the words from “complies” to the end there were substituted “ appears at the diet at which the witness is to give evidence ”. Where a court has made an order under subsection (1)(a) of section 156A of this Act, the court may, on the application of the witness in respect of whom the order was made and after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard— Where a court has made an order under subsection (1)(b) of section 156A of this Act, the court may, after giving the parties and the witness an opportunity to be heard— on the application of the witness in respect of whom the order was made— review the conditions imposed under subsection (6) of that section at the time the order was made; and make a new order under subsection (1)(b) of that section and impose different conditions under subsection (6) of that section; on the application of the party who made the application under section 156(1) of this Act in respect of the witness, review the order and the conditions imposed under subsection (6) of section 156A of this Act at the time the order was made, and— make a new order under subsection (1)(b) of that section and impose different conditions under subsection (6) of that section. The court may not review an order by virtue of subsection (1) or (2) above unless— in that or any other case, the witness or party making the application puts before the court material information which was not available to it when it made the order which is the subject of the application. where it relates to the first order made under section 156A(1)(a) or (b) of this Act in respect of the witness, shall not be made before the fifth day after that order is made; Nothing in this section shall affect any right of a person to appeal against an order under section 156A(1). Any of the parties specified in subsection (2) below may appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court against— any order made under subsection (1)(a) or (c) of section 156A of this Act; any of the conditions imposed under subsection (6) of that section on the making of the order; or A party making an appeal under subsection (1) above shall intimate it to the other parties specified in subsection (2) above; and, for that purpose, intimation to the Crown Agent shall be sufficient intimation to the prosecutor. An appeal under this section shall be disposed of by Sheriff Appeal Court or any Appeal Sheriff in court or in chambers after such enquiry and hearing of the parties as shall seem just. Where the witness in respect of whom the order which is the subject of an appeal under this section was made is under 21 years of age, section 51 of this Act shall apply to the Sheriff Appeal Court or, as the case may be, Appeal Sheriff when disposing of the appeal as it applies to a court when remanding or committing a person of the witness's age for trial and sentence. Proceedings in a summary prosecution shall be conducted summarily viva voce and, except where otherwise provided and subject to subsection (2) below, no record need be kept of the proceedings other than the complaint, or a copy of the complaint certified as a true copy by the procurator fiscal, the plea, a note of any documentary evidence produced, and the conviction and sentence or other finding of the court. Any objection taken to the competency or relevancy of the complaint or proceedings, or to the competency or (subject to subsection (3) below) admissibility of evidence, shall, if either party desires it, be entered in the record of the proceedings. An application for the purposes of subsection (1) of section 275 of this Act, together with the court’s decision on it, the reasons stated therefor and any conditions imposed and directions issued under subsection (7) of that section shall be entered in the record of the proceedings. Where the sheriff is sitting in summary proceedings during the period in which the jury in a criminal trial in which he has presided are retired to consider their verdict, it shall be lawful, if he considers it appropriate to do so, to interrupt those proceedings— in order to receive the verdict of the jury and dispose of the cause to which it relates; to give a direction to the jury on any matter on which they may wish one from him, or to hear a request from them regarding any matter, and the interruption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings nor cause the instance to fall in respect of any person accused in the proceedings. It shall be competent at any time prior to the determination of the case, unless the court see just cause to the contrary, to amend the complaint or any notice of previous conviction relative thereto by deletion, alteration or addition, so as to— cure any discrepancy or variance between the complaint or notice and the evidence. on an offence charged in the complaint; and on any other offence of which he could be convicted under the complaint were the offence charged the only offence so charged. If, after hearing both parties, the judge is satisfied that the evidence led by the prosecution is insufficient in law to justify the accused being convicted of the offence charged in respect of which the submission has been made or of such other offence as is mentioned, in relation to that offence, in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, he shall acquit him of the offence charged in respect of which the submission has been made and the trial shall proceed only in respect of any other offence charged in the complaint. In respect of each charge, the court must deliver a verdict of either— In a summary prosecution in a court consisting of more than one judge, if the judges are equally divided in opinion as to the guilt of the accused, the accused shall be found not guilty of the charge or part thereof on which such division of opinion exists. Where imprisonment is authorised by the sentence of a court of summary jurisdiction, an extract of the finding and sentence in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal shall be a sufficient warrant for the apprehension and commitment of the accused, and no such extract shall be void or liable to be set aside on account of any error or defect in point of form. In any proceedings in a court of summary jurisdiction consisting of more than one judge, the signature of one judge shall be sufficient in all warrants or other proceedings prior or subsequent to conviction, and it shall not be necessary that the judge so signing shall be one of the judges trying or dealing with the case otherwise. A conviction of a part or parts only of the charge or charges libelled in a complaint shall imply dismissal of the rest of the complaint. The words “conviction” and “sentence” shall not be used in relation to children dealt with summarily and any reference in any enactment, whether passed before or after the commencement of this Act, to a person convicted, a conviction or a sentence shall in the case of a child be construed as including a reference to a person found guilty of an offence, a finding of guilt or an order made upon such a finding as the case may be. This section shall apply where the accused in a summary prosecution has been previously convicted of any offence and the prosecutor has decided to lay a previous conviction before the court. A notice in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form specifying the previous conviction shall be served on the accused with the complaint where he is cited to a diet, and where he is in custody the complaint and such a notice shall be served on him before he is asked to plead. The previous conviction shall not , subject to section 275A(1) of this Act, be laid before the judge until he is satisfied that the charge is proved. If a plea of guilty is tendered or if, after a plea of not guilty, the accused is convicted the prosecutor shall lay the notice referred to in subsection (2) above before the judge, and— in a case where the plea of guilty is tendered in writing the accused shall be deemed to admit any previous conviction set forth in the notice, unless he expressly denies it in the writing by which the plea is tendered; in any other case the judge or the clerk of court shall ask the accused whether he admits the previous conviction, and if such admission is made or deemed to be made it shall be entered in the record of the proceedings; and it shall not be necessary for the prosecutor to produce extracts of any previous convictions so admitted. Where the accused does not admit any previous conviction, the prosecutor unless he withdraws the conviction shall adduce evidence in proof thereof either then or at any other diet. A copy of any notice served on the accused under this section shall be entered in the record of the proceedings. Nothing in this section shall prevent the prosecutor— asking the accused questions tending to show that the accused has been convicted of an offence other than that with which he is charged, where he is entitled to do so under section 266 of this Act; or leading evidence of previous convictions where it is competent to do so— under section 270 of this Act. This section, except subsection (8) above, applies in relation to the alternative disposals mentioned in subsection (10) below as it applies in relation to previous convictions. a work order under section 303ZA(6) of this Act that has been completed in the two years preceding the date of an offence charged ; Nothing in this section shall prevent the prosecutor, following conviction of an accused of an offence— to which a work offer made under section 303ZA(1) of this Act related ; or This section applies where an accused person is convicted of an offence (“offence O”) on summary complaint. Nothing in section 166 of this Act prevents— the prosecutor leading evidence of previous convictions where it is competent to do so as evidence in support of a substantive charge; the prosecutor proceeding with a charge— which discloses a previous conviction; or in support of which evidence of a previous conviction may competently be led, on a complaint which includes a charge in relation to which the conviction is irrelevant; or the court trying a charge— together with a charge on another complaint in relation to which the conviction is irrelevant. But subsections (1)(b) and (c) above apply only if the charges are of offences which— relate to the same occasion; or are of a similar character and amount to (or form part of) a course of conduct. The reference in subsection (1)(c) above to trying a charge together with a charge on another complaint means doing so under section 152A of this Act. Every sentence imposed by a court of summary jurisdiction shall unless otherwise provided be pronounced in open court in the presence of the accused, but need not be written out or signed in his presence. The finding and sentence and any order of a court of summary jurisdiction, as regards both offences at common law and offences under any enactment, shall be entered in the record of the proceedings in the form, as nearly as may be, prescribed by Act of Adjournal. The record of the proceedings shall be sufficient warrant for all execution on a finding, sentence or order and for the clerk of court to issue extracts containing such executive clauses as may be necessary for implement thereof. When imprisonment forms part of any sentence or other judgement, warrant for the apprehension and interim detention of the accused pending his being committed to prison shall, where necessary, be implied. Where a fine imposed by a court of summary jurisdiction is paid at the bar it shall not be necessary for the court to refer to the period of imprisonment applicable to the non-payment thereof. Where several charges at common law or under any enactment are embraced in one complaint, a cumulo penalty may be imposed in respect of all or any of such charges of which the accused is convicted. Subject to section 204A of this Act, a court of summary jurisdiction may frame— a sentence following on conviction; or an order for committal in default of payment of any sum of money or for contempt of court, so as to take effect on the expiry of any previous sentence for a term or order which, at the date of the later conviction or order, the accused is undergoing. Where the court imposes a sentence as mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (7) above for an offence committed after the coming into force of this subsection, the court may— if the person is serving or is liable to serve the punishment part of a previous sentence, frame the sentence to take effect on the day after that part of that sentence is or would be due to expire; or if the person is serving or is liable to serve the punishment parts of two or more previous sentences, frame the sentence to take effect on the day after the later or (as the case may be) latest expiring of those parts is or would be due to expire. Where it falls to the court to sentence a person who is subject to a previous sentence in respect of which a punishment part requires to be (but has not been) specified, the court shall not sentence the person until such time as the part is either specified or no longer requires to be specified. In subsections (7A) and (7B) above, any reference to a punishment part of a sentence shall be construed by reference to— the punishment part of the sentence as is specified in an order mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1993 Act; or any part of the sentence which has effect, by virtue of section 10 of the 1993 Act or the schedule to the Convention Rights (Compliance)(Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 7), as if it were the punishment part so specified, and “ the 1993 Act ” means the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 (c. 9). It shall be competent at any time before imprisonment has followed on a sentence for the court to alter or modify it; but no higher sentence than that originally pronounced shall be competent, and— the signature of the judge or clerk of court to any sentence shall be sufficient also to authenticate the findings on which such sentence proceeds; and the power conferred by this subsection to alter or modify a sentence may be exercised without requiring the attendance of the accused. This section applies with regard to the finding, forfeiture, and recovery of caution in any proceedings under this Part of this Act. Caution may be found by consignation of the amount with the clerk of court, or by bond of caution signed by the cautioner. Where caution becomes liable to forfeiture, forfeiture may be granted by the court on the motion of the prosecutor, and, where necessary, warrant granted for the recovery of the caution. Where a cautioner fails to pay the amount due under his bond within six days after he has received a charge to that effect, the court may— order him to be imprisoned for the maximum period applicable in pursuance of section 219 of this Act to that amount or until payment is made; or if it considers it expedient, on the application of the cautioner grant time for payment; or instead of ordering imprisonment, order recovery by civil diligence in accordance with section 221 of this Act. No judge, clerk of court or prosecutor in the public interest shall be found liable by any court in damages for or in respect of any proceedings taken, act done, or judgment, decree or sentence pronounced in any summary proceedings under this Act, unless— the person suing has suffered imprisonment in consequence thereof; and such proceedings, act, judgment, decree or sentence has been quashed; and the person suing specifically avers and proves that such proceeding, act, judgment, decree or sentence was taken, done or pronounced maliciously and without probable cause. No such liability as aforesaid shall be incurred or found where such judge, clerk of court or prosecutor establishes that the person suing was guilty of the offence in respect whereof he had been convicted, or on account of which he had been apprehended or had otherwise suffered, and that he had undergone no greater punishment than was assigned by law to such offence. No action to enforce such liability as aforesaid shall lie unless it is commenced within two months after the proceeding, act, judgment, decree or sentence founded on, or in the case where the Act under which the action is brought fixes a shorter period, within that shorter period. In this section “judge” shall not include “sheriff”, and the provisions of this section shall be without prejudice to the privileges and immunities possessed by sheriffs. All penalties, for the recovery of which no special provision has been made by any enactment may be recovered by the public prosecutor in any court having jurisdiction. Where a court has power to take cognisance of an offence the penalty attached to which is not defined, the punishment therefore shall be regulated by that applicable to common law offences in that court. The forms of procedure for the purposes of summary proceedings under this Act and appeals therefrom shall be in such forms as are prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such forms. All warrants (other than warrants of apprehension or search), orders of court, and sentences may be signed either by the judge or by the clerk of court, and execution upon any warrant, order of court, or sentence may proceed either upon such warrant, order of court, or sentence itself or upon an extract thereof issued and signed by the clerk of court. Where, preliminary to any procedure, a statement on oath is required, the statement may be given before any judge, whether the subsequent procedure is in his court or another court. For the purpose of hearing and determining any appeal under this Part of this Act, or any proceeding connected therewith, three of the Appeal Sheriffs shall be a quorum of the Sheriff Appeal Court, and the determination of any question under this Part of this Act by the court shall be according to the votes of the majority of the members of the court sitting, including the presiding Appeal Sheriff, and each Appeal Sheriff so sitting shall be entitled to pronounce a separate opinion. For the purpose of hearing and determining appeals under section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ... of this Act, or any proceeding connected therewith, two of the Appeal Sheriffs shall be a quorum of the Sheriff Appeal Court, and each Appeal Sheriff shall be entitled to pronounce a separate opinion; but where the two Appeal Sheriffs are unable to reach agreement on the disposal of the appeal, or where they consider it appropriate, the appeal shall be heard and determined in accordance with subsection (1) above. Without prejudice to any right of appeal under section 175(1) to (6) or 191 of this Act, a party may, ... in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court against a decision of the court of first instance (other than a decision not to grant leave under subsection (1A)(b)) which relates to such objection or denial as is mentioned in section 144(4) of this Act; but such appeal must be taken not later than seven days after such decision. in the case of a decision to dismiss the complaint or any part of it, by the prosecutor without the leave of the court, Where an appeal is taken under subsection (1) above, the Sheriff Appeal Court may postpone the trial diet (if one has been fixed) for such period as appears to it to be appropriate and may, if it thinks fit, direct that such period (or some part of it) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case. Subsection (3) applies where— the court grants leave to appeal under subsection (1), or the prosecutor— indicates an intention to appeal under subsection (1), and by virtue of subsection (1A)(a), does not require the leave of the court. Where this subsection applies, the court of first instance shall not proceed to trial at once under subsection (2) of section 146 of this Act; and subsection (3) of that section shall be construed as requiring sufficient time to be allowed for the appeal to be taken. In disposing of an appeal under subsection (1) above the Sheriff Appeal Court may affirm the decision of the court of first instance or may remit the case to it with such directions in the matter as it thinks fit; and where the court of first instance had dismissed the complaint, or any part of it, may reverse that decision and direct that the court of first instance fix a trial diet (if it has not already fixed one as regards so much of the complaint as it has not dismissed.) This section is without prejudice to any right of appeal under section 191 of this Act. Any person convicted, or found to have committed an offence, in summary proceedings may, with leave granted in accordance with section 180 or, as the case may be, 187 of this Act, appeal under this section to the Sheriff Appeal Court— against such conviction, or finding; against the sentence passed on such conviction; against his absolute discharge or admonition or any drug treatment and testing order or any order deferring sentence; ... against any decision to remit made under section 49(1)(a) or (7)(b) of this Act; ... or both such conviction and such sentence or disposal or order. The prosecutor in summary proceedings may appeal under this section to the Sheriff Appeal Court on a point of law— against an acquittal in such proceedings; or against a sentence passed on conviction in such proceedings. The prosecutor in summary proceedings, in any class of case specified by order made by the Secretary of State, may, in accordance with subsection (4A) below, appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court against any of the following disposals, namely— a decision to remit to the Principal Reporter made under section 49(1)(a) or (7)(b) of this Act; An appeal under subsection (4) above may be made— paragraph (b) , (c) , (ca) or (cb), (cb) , (cc) , (cd), (ce) or (cf) of that subsection, that the decision not to make the order in question was inappropriate; For the purposes of subsection (4A)(b)(i) above in its application to a confiscation order by virtue of section 92(11) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the reference to the disposal being unduly lenient is a reference to the amount required to be paid by the order being unduly low. In deciding whether to appeal under subsection (4) in any case, the prosecutor must have regard to any sentencing guidelines which are applicable in relation to the case. By an appeal under subsection (2) above, an appellant may bring under review of the Sheriff Appeal Court any alleged miscarriage of justice which may include such a miscarriage based, subject to subsections (5A) to (5D) below, on the existence and significance of evidence which was not heard at the original proceedings. Evidence which was not heard at the original proceedings may found an appeal only where there is a reasonable explanation of why it was not so heard. Where the explanation referred to in subsection (5A) above or, as the case may be, (5C) below is that the evidence was not admissible at the time of the original proceedings, but is admissible at the time of the appeal, the court may admit that evidence if it appears to the court that it would be in the interests of justice to do so. Without prejudice to subsection (5A) above, where evidence such as is mentioned in ... subsection (5) above is evidence— For the purposes of subsection (5C) above, “independent evidence” means evidence which— is from a source independent of the person referred to in subsection (5C) above; and By an appeal against acquittal under subsection (3) above a prosecutor may bring under review of the Sheriff Appeal Court any alleged miscarriage of justice. The power of the Secretary of State to make an order under subsection (4) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument; and any order so made shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Where a person desires to appeal under subsection (2)(a) or (d) or (3) above, he shall pursue such appeal in accordance with sections 176 to 179, 181 to 185, 188, 190 and 192(1) and (2) of this Act. A person who has appealed against both conviction and sentence may abandon the appeal in so far as it is against conviction and may proceed with it against sentence alone, subject to such procedure as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Where a convicted person or as the case may be a person found to have committed an offence desires to appeal under subsection (2)(b) or (c) ... above, or the prosecutor desires so to appeal by virtue of subsection (4) above, he shall pursue such appeal in accordance with sections 186, 189(1) to (6), 190 and 192(1) and (2) of this Act; but nothing in this section shall prejudice any right to proceed by bill of suspension, or as the case may be advocation, against an alleged fundamental irregularity relating to the imposition of sentence. Where any statute provides for an appeal from summary proceedings to be taken under any public general or local enactment, such appeal shall be taken under this Part of this Act. In an appeal under this Part, the Sheriff Appeal Court may refer a point of law to the High Court for its opinion if it considers that the point is a complex or novel one. The Sheriff Appeal Court may make a reference under subsection (1)— on the application of a party to the appeal proceedings, or on its own initiative. On giving its opinion on a reference under subsection (1), the High Court may also give a direction as to further procedure in, or disposal of, the appeal. An appeal under section 175(2)(a) or (d) or (3) of this Act shall be by application for a stated case, which application shall— be made within one week of the final determination of the proceedings; contain a full statement of all the matters which the appellant desires to bring under review and, where the appeal is also against sentence or disposal or order, the ground of appeal against that sentence or disposal or order; and be signed by the appellant or his solicitor and lodged with the clerk of court, and a copy of the application shall, within the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, be sent by the appellant to the respondent or the respondent’s solicitor. The clerk of court shall enter in the record of the proceedings the date when an application under subsection (1) above was lodged. The appellant may, at any time within the period of three weeks mentioned in subsection (1) of section 179 of this Act, or within any further period afforded him by virtue of section 181(1) of this Act, amend any matter stated in his application or add a new matter; and he shall intimate any such amendment, or addition, to the respondent or the respondent’s solicitor. Where such an application has been made by the person convicted, and the judge by whom he was convicted dies before signing the case or is precluded by illness or other cause from doing so, it shall be competent for the convicted person to present a bill of suspension to the Sheriff Appeal Court and to bring under the review of that court any matter which might have been brought under review by stated case. The record of the procedure in the inferior court in an appeal mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be as nearly as may be in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. Section 176 applies in relation to an appeal under section 175(2)(a) by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16) with the following modifications. In subsection (1)(a), for the words “one week of the final determination of the proceedings” substitute “ one week of the date on which the appellant is acquitted of an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16) ”. In subsection (2), the reference to the proceedings is to be construed as a reference to the proceedings resulting in the appellant's acquittal as mentioned in section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16). In subsection (5), the reference to the inferior court is to be construed as a reference to the court which acquitted the appellant of an offence under section 11(2) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16). If an appellant making an application under section 176 of this Act is in custody, the court of first instance may— grant bail; grant a sist of execution; make any other interim order. An application for bail shall be disposed of by the court before the end of the day (not being a Saturday or Sunday, or a court holiday prescribed for the court which is to determine the question of bail, unless that court is sitting on that day for the disposal of criminal business) after the day on which the application is made. If bail is refused or the appellant is dissatisfied with the conditions imposed, he may, within 24 hours after the judgment of the court, appeal against it by a note of appeal written on the complaint and signed by himself or his solicitor, and the complaint and proceedings shall thereupon be transmitted to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court, and the Sheriff Appeal Court or any Appeal Sheriff thereof, either in court or in chambers, shall . . . have power to review the decision of the inferior court and to grant bail on such conditions as the Court or Appeal Sheriff may think fit, or to refuse bail. No clerks’ fees, court fees or other fees or expenses shall be exigible from or awarded against an appellant in custody in respect of an appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court against the conditions imposed or on account of refusal of bail by a court of summary jurisdiction. If an appellant who has been granted bail does not thereafter proceed with his appeal, the inferior court shall have power to grant warrant to apprehend and imprison him for such period of his sentence as at the date of his bail remained unexpired and, subject to subsection (6) below, such period shall run from the date of his imprisonment under the warrant or, on the application of the appellant, such earlier date as the court thinks fit, not being a date later than the date of expiry of any term or terms of imprisonment imposed subsequently to the conviction appealed against. Where an appellant who has been granted bail does not thereafter proceed with his appeal, the court from which the appeal was taken shall have power, where at the time of the abandonment of the appeal the person is in custody or serving a term or terms of imprisonment imposed subsequently to the conviction appealed against, to order that the sentence or, as the case may be, the unexpired portion of that sentence relating to that conviction should run from such date as the court may think fit, not being a date later than the date on which any term or terms of imprisonment subsequently imposed expired. The court shall not make an order under subsection (6) above to the effect that the sentence or, as the case may be, unexpired portion of the sentence shall run other than concurrently with the subsequently imposed term of imprisonment without first notifying the appellant of its intention to do so and considering any representations made by him or on his behalf. Subsections (6) and (7) of section 112 of this Act (bail pending determination of appeals under section 288AA of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998) shall apply to appeals arising in summary proceedings as they do to appeals arising in solemn proceedings. Within three weeks of the final determination of proceedings in respect of which an application for a stated case is made under section 176 of this Act— where the appeal is taken from the JP court and the trial was presided over by a justice of the peace or justices of the peace, the Clerk of Court; or in any other case the judge who presided at the trial, shall prepare a draft stated case, and the clerk of the court concerned shall forthwith issue the draft to the appellant or his solicitor and a duplicate thereof to the respondent or his solicitor. Where an application for a stated case under section 176 of this Act relates to an appeal by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16)— the reference in subsection (1) to the final determination of proceedings is to be construed as a reference to the date on which the appellant is acquitted of an offence mentioned in section 11(2) of that Act; and the reference in subsection (1)(b) to the judge who presided at the trial is to be construed as a reference to the judge who presided at the trial resulting in the conviction in respect of which the application for a stated case is made. A stated case shall be, as nearly as may be, in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal, and shall set forth the particulars of any matters competent for review which the appellant desires to bring under the review of the Sheriff Appeal Court, and of the facts, if any, proved in the case, and any point of law decided, and the grounds of the decision. Subject to section 181(1) of this Act, within three weeks of the issue of the draft stated case under section 178 of this Act, each party shall cause to be transmitted to the court and to the other parties or their solicitors a note of any adjustments he proposes be made to the draft case or shall intimate that he has no such proposal. The adjustments mentioned in subsection (1) above shall relate to evidence heard or purported to have been heard at the trial and not to such . . . evidence as is mentioned in section 175(5) of this Act. Subject to section 181(1) of this Act, if the period mentioned in subsection (1) above has expired and the appellant has not lodged adjustments and has failed to intimate that he has no adjustments to propose, he shall be deemed to have abandoned his appeal; and subsection (5) of section 177 of this Act shall apply accordingly. If adjustments are proposed under subsection (1) above or if the judge desires to make any alterations to the draft case there shall, within one week of the expiry of the period mentioned in that subsection or as the case may be of any further period afforded under section 181(1) of this Act, be a hearing (unless the appellant has, or has been deemed to have, abandoned his appeal) for the purpose of considering such adjustments or alterations. Where a party neither attends nor secures that he is represented at a hearing under subsection (4) above, the hearing shall nevertheless proceed. Where at a hearing under subsection (4) above— any adjustment proposed under subsection (1) above by a party (and not withdrawn) is rejected by the judge; or any alteration proposed by the judge is not accepted by all the parties, that fact shall be recorded in the minute of the proceedings of the hearing.

Within two weeks of the date of the hearing under subsection (4) above or, where there is no hearing, within two weeks of the expiry of the period mentioned in subsection (1) above, the judge shall (unless the appellant has been deemed to have abandoned the appeal) state and sign the case and shall append to the case— any adjustment, proposed under subsection (1) above, which is rejected by him, a note of any evidence rejected by him which is alleged to support that adjustment and the reasons for his rejection of that adjustment and evidence; and a note of the evidence upon which he bases any finding of fact challenged, on the basis that it is unsupported by the evidence, by a party at the hearing under subsection (4) above. As soon as the case is signed under subsection (7) above the clerk of court— shall send the case to the appellant or his solicitor and a duplicate thereof to the respondent or his solicitor; and shall transmit a certified copy of the complaint, the minute of proceedings and any other relevant documents to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court. Subject to section 181(1) of this Act, within one week of receiving the case the appellant or his solicitor, as the case may be, shall cause it to be lodged with the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court. Subject to section 181(1) of this Act, if the appellant or his solicitor fails to comply with subsection (9) above the appellant shall be deemed to have abandoned the appeal; and subsection (5) of section 177 of this Act shall apply accordingly. In relation to a draft stated case under section 178 of this Act relating to an appeal by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16)— the reference in subsection (1) to the court is to be construed as a reference to the court by which the appellant was convicted; and the references in this section to the judge are to be construed as references to the judge who presided at the trial resulting in that conviction. The decision whether to grant leave to appeal for the purposes of section 175(2)(a) or (d) of this Act shall be made by an Appeal Sheriff of the Sheriff Appeal Court who shall— the stated case lodged under subsection (9) of section 179 of this Act; and the documents transmitted to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court under subsection (8)(b) of that section. A warrant granted under subsection (1)(b)(ii) above shall not take effect until the expiry of the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (4) below (and if that period is extended under subsection (4A) below before the period being extended expires, until the expiry of the period as so extended) without an application to the Sheriff Appeal Court for leave to appeal having been lodged by the appellant under subsection (4) below. Where leave to appeal is refused under subsection (1) above the appellant may, within 14 days of intimation under subsection (10) below, apply to the Sheriff Appeal Court for leave to appeal. The Sheriff Appeal Court may, on cause shown, extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (4) above, or that period as extended under this subsection, whether or not the period to be extended has expired (and if that period of 14 days has expired, whether or not it expired before section 25(1) of the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 6) came into force). In deciding an application under subsection (4) above the Sheriff Appeal Court shall— The question whether to grant leave to appeal under subsection (1) or (5) above shall be considered and determined in chambers without the parties being present. Comments in writing made under subsection (1)(a) or (5)(a) above may, without prejudice to the generality of that provision, specify the arguable grounds of appeal (whether or not they are contained in the stated case) on the basis of which leave to appeal is granted. Where the arguable grounds of appeal are specified by virtue of subsection (7) above it shall not, except by leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court on cause shown, be competent for the appellant to found any aspect of his appeal on any ground of appeal contained in the stated case but not so specified. Any application by the appellant for the leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court under subsection (8) above— shall be made within 14 days of the date of intimation under subsection (10) below; and shall, within 14 days of that date, be intimated by the appellant to the prosecutor. The Sheriff Appeal Court may, on cause shown, extend the periods of 14 days mentioned in subsection (9) above. The Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court shall forthwith intimate— to the appellant or his solicitor and to the prosecutor. Without prejudice to any other power of relief which the Sheriff Appeal Court may have, where it appears to that court on application made in accordance with subsection (2) below, that the applicant has failed to comply with any of the requirements of— subsection (1) of section 176 of this Act; or subsection (1) or (9) of section 179 of this Act, the Sheriff Appeal Court may direct that such further period of time as it may think proper be afforded to the applicant to comply with any requirement of the aforesaid provisions. Where an application for a direction under subsection (1)— is made by the person convicted, and relates to the requirements of section 176(1), the Sheriff Appeal Court may make a direction only if it is satisfied that doing so is justified by exceptional circumstances. In considering whether there are exceptional circumstances for the purpose of subsection (1A), the Sheriff Appeal Court must have regard to— the length of time that has elapsed between the expiry of the period mentioned in section 176(1)(a) and the making of the application, Any application for a direction under subsection (1) above shall be made in writing to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court and shall state the ground for the application, and, in the case of an application for the purposes of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, notification of the application shall be made by the appellant or his solicitor to the clerk of the court from which the appeal is to be taken, and the clerk shall thereupon transmit the complaint, documentary productions and any other proceedings in the cause to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court. An application for a direction under subsection (1) in relation to the requirements of section 176(1) of this Act must— the reasons why the applicant failed to comply with the requirements of section 176(1), and be intimated in writing by the applicant to the respondent or the respondent's solicitor. If the respondent so requests within 7 days of receipt of intimation of the application under subsection (2A)(b), the respondent must be given an opportunity to make representations before the application is determined. The Sheriff Appeal Court shall dispose of any application under subsection (1) above in like manner as an application to review the decision of an inferior court on a grant of bail, but shall have power— to dispense with a hearing ...; and to make such enquiry in relation to the application as the court may think fit, and when the Sheriff Appeal Court has disposed of the application the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court shall inform the clerk of the inferior court of the result. If the Sheriff Appeal Court makes a direction under subsection (1), it must— A stated case under this Part of this Act shall be heard by the Sheriff Appeal Court on such date as it may fix. For the avoidance of doubt, where an appellant, in his application under section 176(1) of this Act (or in a duly made amendment or addition to that application), refers to an alleged miscarriage of justice, but in stating a case under section 179(7) of this Act the inferior court is unable to take the allegation into account, the Sheriff Appeal Court may nevertheless have regard to the allegation at a hearing under subsection (1) above. Except by leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court on cause shown, it shall not be competent for an appellant to found any aspect of his appeal on a matter not contained in his application under section 176(1) of this Act (or in a duly made amendment or addition to that application). Subsection (3) above shall not apply as respects any ground of appeal specified as an arguable ground of appeal by virtue of subsection (7) of section 180 of this Act. Without prejudice to any existing power of the Sheriff Appeal Court, that court may in hearing a stated case— hear any . . .evidence relevant to any alleged miscarriage of justice or order such evidence to be heard by an Appeal Sheriff at the Sheriff Appeal Court or by such other person as it may appoint for that purpose; appoint a person with expert knowledge to act as assessor to the Sheriff Appeal Court in any case where it appears to the court that such expert knowledge is required for the proper determination of the case; take account of any matter proposed in any adjustment rejected by the trial judge and of the reasons for such rejection; take account of any evidence contained in a note of evidence such as is mentioned in section 179(7) of this Act. The Sheriff Appeal Court may at the hearing remit the stated case back to the inferior court to be amended and returned. The Sheriff Appeal Court may, subject to subsection (3) below and to section 190(1) of this Act, dispose of a stated case by— remitting the cause to the inferior court with its opinion and any direction thereon; affirming the verdict of the inferior court; setting aside the verdict of the inferior court and either quashing the conviction or, subject to subsection (2) below, substituting therefor an amended verdict of guilty; or setting aside the verdict of the inferior court and granting authority to bring a new prosecution in accordance with section 185 of this Act. Where an appeal against conviction is by virtue of section 11(7) of the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 16), paragraphs (a) and (d) of subsection (1) do not apply. An amended verdict of guilty substituted under subsection (1)(c) above must be one which could have been returned on the complaint before the inferior court. The Sheriff Appeal Court shall, in an appeal— against both conviction and sentence, subject to section 190(1) of this Act, dispose of the appeal against sentence; or by the prosecutor, against sentence, dispose of the appeal, by exercise of the power mentioned in section 189(1) of this Act. In setting aside, under subsection (1) above, a verdict the Sheriff Appeal Court may quash any sentence imposed on the appellant as respects the complaint, and— in a case where it substitutes an amended verdict of guilty, whether or not the sentence related to the verdict set aside; or in any other case, where the sentence did not so relate, may pass another (but not more severe) sentence in substitution for the sentence so quashed. For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) above, “sentence” shall be construed as including disposal or order. Where an appeal against acquittal is sustained, the Sheriff Appeal Court may— convict and, subject to subsection (7) below, sentence the respondent; remit the case to the inferior court with instructions to convict and sentence the respondent, who shall be bound to attend any diet fixed by the court for such purpose; or remit the case to the inferior court with their opinion thereon. Where the Sheriff Appeal Court sentences the respondent under subsection (6)(a) above it shall not in any case impose a sentence beyond the maximum sentence which could have been passed by the inferior court. Any reference in subsection (6) above to convicting and sentencing shall be construed as including a reference to— convicting and making some other disposal; or convicting and deferring sentence. The Sheriff Appeal Court shall have power in an appeal under this Part of this Act to award such expenses both in the Sheriff Appeal Court and in the inferior court as it may think fit. Where, following an appeal, other than an appeal under section 175(2)(b) or (3) of this Act, the appellant remains liable to imprisonment or detention under the sentence of the inferior court, or is so liable under a sentence passed in the appeal proceedings the Sheriff Appeal Court shall have the power where at the time of disposal of the appeal the appellant— was at liberty on bail, to grant warrant to apprehend and imprison or detain the appellant for a term, to run from the date of such apprehension, not longer than that part of the term or terms of imprisonment or detention specified in the sentence brought under review which remained unexpired at the date of liberation; is serving a term or terms of imprisonment or detention imposed in relation to a conviction subsequent to the conviction appealed against, to exercise the like powers in regard to him as may be exercised, in relation to an appeal which has been abandoned, by a court of summary jurisdiction in pursuance of section 177(6) of this Act. An appellant in an appeal such as is mentioned in section 176(1) of this Act may at any time prior to lodging the case with the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court abandon his appeal by minute signed by himself or his solicitor, written on the complaint or lodged with the clerk of the inferior court, and intimated to the respondent or the respondent’s solicitor, but such abandonment shall be without prejudice to any other competent mode of appeal, review, advocation or suspension. Subject to section 191 of this Act, on the case being lodged with the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court, the appellant shall be held to have abandoned any other mode of appeal which might otherwise have been open to him. Subject to subsection (2) below, where authority is granted under section 183(1)(d) of this Act, a new prosecution may be brought charging the accused with the same or any similar offence arising out of the same facts; and the proceedings out of which the stated case arose shall not be a bar to such prosecution. In a new prosecution under this section the accused shall not be charged with an offence more serious than that of which he was convicted in the earlier proceedings. A new prosecution may be brought under this section, notwithstanding that any time limit (other than the time limit mentioned in subsection (5) below) for the commencement of such proceedings has elapsed. The complaint in a new prosecution under this section shall identify any matters as respects which the prosecutor intends to lead evidence by virtue of subsection (6) above which would not have been competent but for that subsection. in a case where such warrant is executed without unreasonable delay, on the date on which a warrant to apprehend or to cite the accused is granted; and in any other case, on the date on which the warrant is executed. Where the two months mentioned in subsection (5) above elapse and no new prosecution has been brought under this section, the order under section 183(1)(d) of this Act setting aside the verdict shall have the effect, for all purposes, of an acquittal. On granting authority under section 183(1)(d) of this Act to bring a new prosecution, the Sheriff Appeal Court may, after giving the parties an opportunity of being heard, order the detention of the accused person in custody; but an accused person may not be detained by virtue of this subsection for a period of more than 40 days. An appeal under section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ..., or by virtue of section 175(4), of this Act shall be by note of appeal, which shall state the ground of appeal. The note of appeal shall, where the appeal is— under section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ... be lodged, within one week of— the passing of the sentence; . . . or the making of the order disposing of the case or deferring sentence; ... with the clerk of the court from which the appeal is to be taken; or by virtue of section 175(4) be so lodged within four weeks of such passing or making. The clerk of court on receipt of the note of appeal shall— send a copy of the note to the respondent or his solicitor; and obtain a report from the judge who sentenced the convicted person or, as the case may be, who disposed of the case or deferred sentence. Subject to subsection (5) below, the clerk of court shall within two weeks of the passing of the sentence or within two weeks of the disposal or order against which the appeal is taken— send to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court the note of appeal, together with the report mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above, a certified copy of the complaint, the minute of proceedings and any other relevant documents; and send copies of that report to the appellant and respondent or their solicitors. The sheriff principal of the sheriffdom in which the judgment was pronounced may, on cause shown, extend the period of two weeks specified in subsection (4) above for such period as he considers reasonable. Subject to subsection (4) above, the report mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above shall be available only to the Sheriff Appeal Court, the parties and, on such conditions as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, such other persons or classes of persons as may be so prescribed. Where the judge’s report is not furnished within the period mentioned in subsection (4) above or such period as extended under subsection (5) above, the Sheriff Appeal Court may extend such period, or, if it thinks fit, hear and determine the appeal without the report. Section 181 of this Act shall apply where an appellant fails to comply with the requirement of subsection (2)(a) above as they apply where an applicant fails to comply with any of the requirements of section 176(1) of this Act. An appellant under section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ..., or by virtue of section 175(4), of this Act may at any time prior to the hearing of the appeal abandon his appeal by minute, signed by himself or his solicitor, lodged— in a case where the note of appeal has not yet been sent under subsection (4)(a) above to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court, with the clerk of court; in any other case, with the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court, and intimated to the respondent. Sections 176(5), 177 and 182(5)(a) to (e) of this Act shall apply to appeals under section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ..., or by virtue of section 175(4), of this Act as they apply to appeals under section 175(2)(a) or (d) of this Act, except that, for the purposes of such application to any appeal by virtue of section 175(4), references in subsections (1) to (4) of section 177 to the appellant shall be construed as references to the convicted person and subsections (6) and (7) of that section shall be disregarded. The decision whether to grant leave to appeal for the purposes of section 175(2)(b), (c) or (cza) ... of this Act shall be made by an Appeal Sheriff of the Sheriff Appeal Court who shall— if he considers that the note of appeal and other documents sent to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court under section 186(4)(a) of this Act disclose arguable grounds of appeal, grant leave to appeal and make such comments in writing as he considers appropriate; and A warrant granted under subsection (1)(b)(ii) above shall not take effect until the expiry of the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (3) below (and if that period is extended under subsection (3A) below before the period being extended expires, until the expiry of the period as so extended) without an application to the Sheriff Appeal Court for leave to appeal having been lodged by the appellant under subsection (3) below. Where leave to appeal is refused under subsection (1) above the appellant may, within 14 days of intimation under subsection (9) below, apply to the Sheriff Appeal Court for leave to appeal. The Sheriff Appeal Court may, on cause shown, extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (3) above, or that period as extended under this subsection, whether or not the period to be extended has expired (and if that period of 14 days has expired, whether or not it expired before section 25(3) of the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 6) came into force). In deciding an application under subsection (3) above the Sheriff Appeal Court shall— if, after considering the note of appeal and other documents mentioned in subsection (1) above and the reasons for the refusal, it is of the opinion that there are arguable grounds of appeal, grant leave to appeal and make such comments in writing as he considers appropriate; and The question whether to grant leave to appeal under subsection (1) or (4) above shall be considered and determined in chambers without the parties being present. Comments in writing made under subsection (1)(a) or (4)(a) above may, without prejudice to the generality of that provision, specify the arguable grounds of appeal (whether or not they are contained in the note of appeal) on the basis of which leave to appeal is granted. Where the arguable grounds of appeal are specified by virtue of subsection (6) above it shall not, except by leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court on cause shown, be competent for the appellant to found any aspect of his appeal on any ground of appeal contained in the note of appeal but not so specified. Any application by the appellant for the leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court under subsection (7) above— shall be made within 14 days of the date of intimation under subsection (9) below; and The Sheriff Appeal Court may, on cause shown, extend the periods of 14 days mentioned in subsection (8) above. a decision under subsection (1) or (4) above; and Without prejudice to section 175(3) or (4) of this Act, where— an appeal has been taken under section 175(2) of this Act or by suspension or otherwise and the prosecutor is not prepared to maintain the judgment appealed against he may, by a relevant minute, consent to the conviction or sentence or, as the case may be, conviction and sentence (“sentence” being construed in this section as including disposal or order) being set aside either in whole or in part; or no such appeal has been taken but the prosecutor is, at any time, not prepared to maintain the judgment on which a conviction is founded or the sentence imposed following such conviction he may, by a relevant minute, apply for the conviction or sentence or, as the case may be, conviction and sentence to be set aside. For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a “relevant minute” is a minute, signed by the prosecutor— setting forth the grounds on which he is of the opinion that the judgment cannot be maintained; and written on the complaint or lodged with the clerk of court. A copy of any minute under subsection (1) above shall be sent by the prosecutor to the convicted person or his solicitor and the clerk of court shall— thereupon ascertain and note on the record, whether that person or solicitor desires to be heard by the Sheriff Appeal Court before the appeal, or as the case may be application, is disposed of; and thereafter transmit the complaint and relative proceedings to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court. The Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court, on receipt of a complaint and relative proceedings transmitted under subsection (3) above, shall lay them before any Appeal Sheriff of the Sheriff Appeal Court either in court or in chambers who, after hearing parties if they desire to be heard, may— set aside the conviction or the sentence, or both, either in whole or in part and— award such expenses to the convicted person, both in the Sheriff Appeal Court and in the inferior court, as the Appeal Sheriff may think fit; where the conviction is set aside in part, pass another (but not more severe) sentence in substitution for the sentence imposed in respect of that conviction; and where the sentence is set aside, pass another (but not more severe) sentence; or refuse to set aside the conviction or sentence or, as the case may be, conviction and sentence, in which case the complaint and proceedings shall be returned to the clerk of the inferior court.

Where an appeal has been taken and a copy minute in respect of that appeal sent under subsection (3) above, the preparation of the draft stated case shall be delayed pending the decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court. The period from an application being made under subsection (1)(b) above until its disposal under subsection (4) above (including the day of application and the day of disposal) shall, in relation to the conviction to which the application relates, be disregarded in any computation of time specified in any provision of this Part of this Act. An appeal against sentence by note of appeal shall be heard by the Sheriff Appeal Court on such date as it may fix, and the Sheriff Appeal Court may, subject to section 190(1) of this Act, dispose of such appeal by— affirming the sentence; or if the Court thinks that, having regard to all the circumstances, including any . . . evidence such as is mentioned in section 175(5) of this Act, a different sentence should have been passed, quashing the sentence and, subject to subsection (2) below, passing another sentence, whether more or less severe, in substitution therefor. In passing another sentence under subsection (1)(b) above, the Court shall not in any case increase the sentence beyond the maximum sentence which could have been passed by the inferior court. The Sheriff Appeal Court shall have power in an appeal by note of appeal to award such expenses both in the Sheriff Appeal Court and in the inferior court as it may think fit. Where, following an appeal under section 175(2)(b) or (c), or by virtue of section 175(4), of this Act, the convicted person remains liable to imprisonment or detention under the sentence of the inferior court or is so liable under a sentence passed in the appeal proceedings, the Sheriff Appeal Court shall have power where at the time of disposal of the appeal the convicted person— was at liberty on bail, to grant warrant to apprehend and imprison or detain the appellant for a term, to run from the date of such apprehension, not longer than that part of the term or terms of imprisonment or detention specified in the sentence brought under review which remained unexpired at the date of liberation; or is serving a term or terms of imprisonment or detention imposed in relation to a conviction subsequent to the conviction in respect of which the sentence appealed against was imposed, to exercise the like powers in regard to him as may be exercised, in relation to an appeal which has been abandoned, by a court of summary jurisdiction in pursuance of section 177(6) of this Act. In subsection (1) above, “appeal against sentence” shall, without prejudice to the generality of the expression, be construed as including an appeal under section 175(2)(c) or (cza), and any appeal by virtue of section 175(4), of this Act; and without prejudice to subsection (6) below, other references to sentence in that subsection and in subsection (4) above shall be construed accordingly. In disposing of any appeal in a case where the accused has not been convicted, the Sheriff Appeal Court may proceed to convict him; and where it does, the reference in subsection (4) above to the conviction in respect of which the sentence appealed against was imposed shall be construed as a reference to the disposal or order appealed against. In disposing of an appeal under section 175(2)(b) to (d), (3)(b) or (4) of this Act the Sheriff Appeal Court may, without prejudice to any other power in that regard, pronounce an opinion on the sentence or other disposal or order which is appropriate in any similar case; ... In relation to any appeal under section 175(2) of this Act, the Sheriff Appeal Court shall, where it appears to it that the appellant committed the act charged against him but that he was not, because of section 51A of this Act, criminally responsible for it, dispose of the appeal by— setting aside the verdict of the inferior court and substituting therefor a verdict of acquittal by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A of this Act; and quashing any sentence imposed on the appellant as respects the complaint and— Subsections (3) to (6) of section 57 of this Act shall apply to an order made under subsection (1)(b)(i) above as it applies to an order made under subsection (2) of that section. Notwithstanding section 184(2) of this Act, a party to a summary prosecution may, where an appeal under section 175 of this Act would be incompetent or would in the circumstances be inappropriate, appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court, by bill of suspension against a conviction or, as the case may be, by advocation against an acquittal on the ground of an alleged miscarriage of justice in the proceedings. Where the alleged miscarriage of justice is referred to in an application under section 176(1) of this Act, for a stated case as regards the proceedings (or in a duly made amendment or addition to that application), an appeal under subsection (1) above shall not proceed without the leave of the Sheriff Appeal Court until the appeal to which the application relates has been finally disposed of or abandoned. Sections 182(5)(a) to (e), 183(1)(d) and (4) and 185 of this Act shall apply to appeals under this section as they apply to appeals such as are mentioned in section 176(1) of this Act. This section is without prejudice to any rule of law relating to bills of suspension or advocation in so far as such rule of law is not inconsistent with this section. This section applies where a party wishes— to appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court under section 191(1) of this Act by bill of suspension against a conviction or by advocation against an acquittal, or to appeal to the Sheriff Appeal Court against, or to bring under review of the Sheriff Appeal Court, any other decision in a summary prosecution by bill of suspension or by advocation. The party must lodge the bill of suspension or bill of advocation within 3 weeks of the date of the conviction, acquittal or, as the case may be, other decision to which the bill relates. The Sheriff Appeal Court may, on the application of the party, extend the time limit in subsection (2). An application under subsection (3) must— the reasons why the applicant failed to comply with the time limit in subsection (2), and the proposed grounds of appeal or review, and be intimated in writing by the applicant to the other party to the prosecution. If the other party so requests within 7 days of receipt of intimation of the application under subsection (4)(b), the other party must be given an opportunity to make representations before the application is determined. Any representations may be made in writing or, if the other party so requests, orally at a hearing; and if a hearing is fixed, the applicant must also be given an opportunity to be heard. It is not competent to bring under review of the Sheriff Appeal Court by way of bill of advocation a decision of the court of first instance that relates to such objection or denial as is mentioned in section 144(4). Where an appellant has been granted bail, whether his appeal is under this Part of this Act or otherwise, he shall appear personally in court at the diet appointed for the hearing of the appeal. Where an appellant who has been granted bail does not appear at such a diet, the Sheriff Appeal Court shall either— dispose of the appeal as if it had been abandoned (in which case subsection (5) of section 177 of this Act shall apply accordingly); or on cause shown permit the appeal to be heard in his absence. No conviction, sentence, judgement, order of court or other proceeding whatsoever in or for the purposes of summary proceedings under this Act— the relevancy of the complaint, or to the want of specification therein; or The provisions regulating appeals shall, subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, be without prejudice to any other mode of appeal competent. Any officer of law may serve any bill of suspension or other writ relating to an appeal. Where upon conviction of any person— any disqualification, forfeiture or disability attaches to him by reason of such conviction; or any property, matters or things which are the subject of the prosecution or connected therewith are to be or may be ordered to be destroyed or forfeited, if the court before which he was convicted thinks fit, the disqualification, forfeiture or disability or, as the case may be, destruction or forfeiture or order for destruction or forfeiture shall be suspended pending the determination of any appeal against conviction or sentence (or disposal or order). Subsection (1) above does not apply in respect of any disqualification, forfeiture or, as the case may be, destruction or forfeiture or order for destruction or forfeiture under or by virtue of any enactment which contains express provision for the suspension of such disqualification, forfeiture or, as the case may be, destruction or forfeiture or order for destruction or forfeiture pending the determination of any appeal against conviction or sentence (or disposal or order). Where, upon conviction, a fine has been imposed upon a person or a compensation order has been made against him under section 249 of this Act— the fine or compensation order shall not be enforced against him and he shall not be liable to make any payment in respect of the fine or compensation order; and any money paid under the compensation order shall not be paid by the clerk of court to the entitled person under subsection (9) of that section, pending the determination of any appeal against conviction or sentence (or disposal or order). Where a convicted person or the prosecutor appeals to the Sheriff Appeal Court under section 175 of this Act ..., the court may on the application of the appellant direct that the whole, or any remaining part, of a relevant sentence shall be suspended until the appeal, if it is proceeded with, is determined. Where the court has directed the suspension of the whole or any remaining part of a person’s relevant sentence, the person shall, unless the Sheriff Appeal Court otherwise directs, appear personally in court on the day or days fixed for the hearing of the appeal. In this section “relevant sentence” means any one or more of the following— If any period of time specified in any provision of this Part of this Act relating to appeals expires on a Saturday, Sunday or court holiday prescribed for the relevant court, the period shall be extended to expire on the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such court holiday. The sheriff principal of the sheriffdom in which the judgment was pronounced may, on cause shown, extend any period specified in sections 178(1) and 179(4) and (7) of this Act for such period as he considers reasonable. For the purposes of sections 176(1)(a) and 178(1) of this Act, summary proceedings shall be deemed to be finally determined on the day on which sentence is passed in open court; except that, where in relation to an appeal— under section 175(2)(a) or (3)(a); or in so far as it is against conviction, under section 175(2)(d), of this Act sentence is deferred under section 202 of this Act, they shall be deemed finally determined on the day on which sentence is first so deferred in open court. An appeal on a point of law may be taken to the High Court against any decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court in criminal proceedings, but only with the permission of the High Court. An appeal under subsection (1) may be taken by any party to the appeal in the Sheriff Appeal Court. The High Court may give permission for an appeal under subsection (1) only if the Court considers that— the appeal would raise an important point of principle or practice, or there is some other compelling reason for the Court to hear the appeal. An application for permission for an appeal under subsection (1) must be made before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court that would be the subject of the appeal was made. The High Court may extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (4) if satisfied that doing so is justified by exceptional circumstances. An appeal under section 194ZB(1) is to be made by way of note of appeal. A note of appeal must specify the point of law on which the appeal is being made. For the purposes of considering and deciding an appeal under section 194ZB(1)— three of the judges of the High Court are to constitute a quorum of the Court, decisions are to be taken by a majority vote of the members of the Court sitting (including the presiding judge), each judge sitting may pronounce a separate opinion. An application to the High Court for permission for an appeal under section 194ZB(1) is to be determined by a single judge of the High Court. If the judge gives permission for the appeal, the judge may make comments in writing in relation to the appeal. If the judge refuses permission for the appeal— the judge must give reasons in writing for the refusal, and where the appellant is on bail and the sentence imposed on the appellant on conviction is one of imprisonment, the judge must grant a warrant to apprehend and imprison the appellant. A warrant under subsection (3)(b) does not take effect until the expiry of the period of 14 days mentioned in section 194ZE(1) (or, where that period is extended under section 194ZE(2) before the period being extended expires, until the expiry of the period as so extended) without an application for permission having been lodged by the appellant under section 194ZE(1). Where the judge refuses permission for the appeal under section 194ZD, the appellant may, within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which intimation of the decision is given under section 194ZF(2), apply again to the High Court for permission for the appeal. The High Court may extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (1), or that period as extended under this subsection, whether or not the period to be extended has expired. The High Court may extend a period under subsection (2) only if satisfied that doing so is justified by exceptional circumstances. Three of the judges of the High Court are to constitute a quorum for the purposes of considering an application under subsection (1). If the High Court gives permission for the appeal, the Court may make comments in writing in relation to the appeal. If the High Court refuses permission for the appeal— the Court must give reasons in writing for the refusal, and where the appellant is on bail and the sentence imposed on the appellant on conviction is one of imprisonment, the Court must grant a warrant to apprehend and imprison the appellant. An application for permission for an appeal under section 194ZB(1) is to be considered and determined (whether under section 194ZD or 194ZE)— in chambers without the parties being present, by reference to section 194ZB(3), and on the basis of consideration of— the note of appeal under section 194ZC(1), and such other document or information (if any) as may be specified by act of adjournal. The Clerk of Justiciary must, as soon as possible, intimate to the appellant or the appellant's solicitor and to the Crown Agent— a decision under section 194ZD or 194ZE determining the application for permission for an appeal, and in the case of a refusal of permission for the appeal, the reasons for the decision. Comments in writing made under section 194ZD(2) or 194ZE(5) may specify the arguable grounds of appeal (whether or not they were stated in the note of appeal) on the basis of which permission for the appeal was given. Where the arguable grounds of appeal are specified under subsection (1), the appellant may not, except with the permission of the High Court on cause shown, found any aspect of the appeal on a ground of appeal stated in the application for permission but not specified under subsection (1). An application by the appellant for permission under subsection (2) must— be made before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date of intimation under section 194ZF(2), and be intimated by the appellant to the Crown Agent before the end of that period. The High Court may extend the period of 14 days mentioned in subsection (3) if satisfied that doing so is justified by exceptional circumstances. The appellant may not, except with the permission of the High Court on cause shown, found any aspect of the appeal on a matter not stated in the note of appeal (or in a duly made amendment or addition to the note of appeal). Subsection (5) does not apply in relation to a matter specified as an arguable ground of appeal under subsection (1). In disposing of an appeal under section 194ZB(1), the High Court may— remit the case back to the Sheriff Appeal Court with its opinion and any direction as to further procedure in, or disposal of, the case, or exercise any power that the Sheriff Appeal Court could have exercised in relation to disposal of the appeal proceedings before that Court. So far as necessary for the purposes or in consequence of the exercise of a power by the High Court by virtue of subsection (1)(b)— references in Part X to the Sheriff Appeal Court are to be read as including references to the High Court, and references in Part X to a verdict of or sentence passed by the inferior court are to be read as incuding references to a verdict of or sentence passed by the Sheriff Appeal Court in disposing of the appeal before it. Subsections (1)(b) and (2) do not affect any power in relation to the consideration or disposal of appeals that the High Court has apart from those subsections. Section 177 (procedure where appellant in custody) applies in the case where a party making an appeal (other than an excepted appeal) under section 194ZB(1) is in custody as it applies in the case where an appellant making an application under section 176 is in custody. In subsection (1), “excepted appeal” means an appeal against a decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court in— an appeal under section 32, or an appeal under section 177(3). An appellant in an appeal under section 194ZB(1) may at any time abandon the appeal by minute to that effect— signed by the appellant or the appellant's solicitor, lodged with the Clerk of Justiciary, and intimated to the respondent or the respondent's solicitor. Every interlocutor and sentence (including disposal or order) pronounced by the High Court in disposing of an appeal relating to summary proceedings is final and conclusive and not subject to review by any court whatsoever. Subsection (1) is subject to— Part XA and section 288AA, and paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998. It is incompetent to stay or suspend any execution or diligence issuing from the High Court under this Part, except for the purposes of an appeal under— section 288AA, or If any period of time specified in this Part expires on a Saturday, Sunday or court holiday prescribed for the relevant court, the period is extended to expire on the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such a court holiday. There shall be established a body corporate to be known as the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (in this Act referred to as “the Commission”). The Commission shall not be regarded as the servant or agent of the Crown or as enjoying any status, immunity or privilege of the Crown; and the Commission’s property shall not be regarded as property of, or held on behalf of, the Crown. The Commission shall consist of not fewer than three members. The members of the Commission shall be appointed by Her Majesty on the recommendation of the Secretary of State. At least one third of the members of the Commission shall be persons who are legally qualified; and for this purpose a person is legally qualified if he is an advocate or solicitor of at least ten years’ standing. At least two thirds of the members of the Commission shall be persons who appear to the Secretary of State to have knowledge or experience of any aspect of the criminal justice system; and for the purposes of this subsection the criminal justice system includes, in particular, the investigation of offences and the treatment of offenders. Schedule 9A to this Act, which makes further provision as to the Commission, shall have effect. The Commission on the consideration of any conviction of a person or of the sentence (other than sentence of death) passed on a person who has been convicted on indictment or complaint may, if they think fit, at any time, and whether or not an appeal against such conviction or sentence has previously been heard and determined by the High Court or the Sheriff Appeal Court, refer the whole case to the High Court and ... the case shall be heard and determined, subject to any directions the High Court may make, as if it were an appeal under Part VIII or, as the case may be, Part X of this Act. The power of the Commission under this section to refer to the High Court the case of a person convicted shall be exercisable whether or not that person has petitioned for the exercise of Her Majesty’s prerogative of mercy. This section shall apply in relation to a finding under section 55(2) and an order under section 57(2) of this Act as it applies, respectively, in relation to a conviction and a sentence. For the purposes of an appeal under Part X of this Act in a case referred to the High Court under subsection (1)— the High Court may exercise in the case all the powers and jurisdiction that the Sheriff Appeal Court would, had the case been an appeal to that Court, have had in relation to the case by virtue of section 118 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, and accordingly, Part X of this Act has effect in relation to the case subject to the following modifications— references to the Sheriff Appeal Court are to be read as references to the High Court, references to an Appeal Sheriff are to be read as references to a judge of the High Court, references to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court are to be read as reference to the Clerk of Justiciary. For the purposes of this section “person” includes a person who is deceased. The grounds upon which the Commission may refer a case to the High Court are that they believe— that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred; and that it is in the interests of justice that a reference should be made. A reference of a conviction, sentence or finding may be made under section 194B of this Act whether or not an application has been made by or on behalf of the person to whom it relates. In considering whether to make a reference the Commission shall have regard to— any application or representations made to the Commission by or on behalf of the person to whom it relates; any other representations made to the Commission in relation to it: and any other matters which appear to the Commission to be relevant. In considering whether to make a reference the Commission may at any time refer to the High Court for the Court’s opinion any point on which they desire the Court’s assistance; and on a reference under this subsection the High Court shall consider the point referred and furnish the Commission with their opinion on the point. Where the Commission make a reference to the High Court under section 194B of this Act they shall— give to the Court a statement of their reasons for making the reference;

and send a copy of the statement to every person who appears to them to be likely to be a party to any proceedings on the appeal arising from the reference. The grounds for an appeal arising from a reference to the High Court under section 194B of this Act must relate to one or more of the reasons for making the reference contained in the Commission's statement of reasons. Despite subsection (4A), the High Court may, if it considers it is in the interests of justice to do so, grant leave for the appellant to found the appeal on additional grounds. An application by the appellant for leave under subsection (4B) must be made and intimated to the Crown Agent within 21 days after the date on which a copy of the Commission's statement of reasons is sent under subsection (4)(b). The High Court may, on cause shown, extend the period of 21 days mentioned in subsection (4C). The Clerk of Justiciary must intimate to the persons mentioned in subsection (4F)— a decision under subsection (4B), and in the case of a refusal to grant leave for the appeal to be founded on additional grounds, the reasons for the decision. the appellant or the appellant's solicitor, and In every case in which— an application has been made to the Commission by or on behalf of any person for the reference by them of any conviction, sentence or finding; but the Commission decide not to make a reference of the conviction, sentence or finding, they shall give a statement of the reasons for their decision to the person who made the application. The Secretary of State may by order provide for this Part of this Act to apply in relation to convictions, sentences and findings made in summary proceedings as they apply in relation to convictions, sentences and findings made in solemn proceedings, and may for that purpose make in such an order such amendments to the provisions of this Part as appear to him to be necessary or expedient. An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument, and shall not have effect unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. The Commission may take any steps which they consider appropriate for assisting them in the exercise of any of their functions and may, in particular— themselves undertake inquiries and obtain statements, opinions or reports; or request the Lord Advocate or any other person to undertake such inquiries or obtain such statements, opinions and reports. The Secretary of State may by order make such incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary provisions as may appear to him to be necessary or expedient for the purpose of bringing this Part of this Act into operation, and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, of dealing with any cases being considered by him under section 124 of this Act at the time when this Part comes into force, and an order under this section may make different provision in relation to different cases or classes of case. An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Where it appears to the Commission that a person may have information which they require for the purposes of carrying out their functions, and the person refuses to make any statement to them, they may apply to the sheriff under this section. On an application made by the Commission under this section, the sheriff may, if he is satisfied that it is reasonable in the circumstances, grant warrant to cite the person concerned to appear before the sheriff in chambers at such time or place as shall be specified in the citation, for precognition on oath by a member of the Commission or a person appointed by them to act in that regard. Any person who, having been duly cited to attend for precognition under subsection (2) above and having been given at least 48 hours notice, fails without reasonable excuse to attend shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 21 days; and the court may issue a warrant for the apprehension of the person concerned ordering him to be brought before a sheriff for precognition on oath. Any person who, having been duly cited to attend for precognition under subsection (2) above, attends but— refuses to give information within his knowledge or to produce evidence in his possession; or shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to be summarily subjected to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 21 days. Where the Commission believe that a person or a public body has possession or control of a document or other material which may assist them in the exercise of any of their functions, they may apply to the High Court for an order requiring that person or body— to produce the document or other material to the Commission or to give the Commission access to it; and to allow the Commission to take away the document or other material or to make and take away a copy of it in such form as they think appropriate, and such an order may direct that the document or other material must not be destroyed, damaged or altered before the direction is withdrawn by the Court. The duty to comply with an order under this section is not affected by any obligation of secrecy or other limitation on disclosure (including any such obligation or limitation imposed by or by virtue of any enactment) which would otherwise prevent the production of the document or other material to the Commission or the giving of access to it to the Commission. The documents and other material covered by this section include, in particular, any document or other material obtained or created during any investigation or proceedings relating to— the case in relation to which the Commission’s function is being or may be exercised; or any other case which may be in any way connected with that case (whether or not any function of the Commission could be exercised in relation to that other case). “Minister” means a Minister of the Crown as defined by section 8 of the Ministers of the Crown Act 1975; “public body” means the Police Service of Scotland; any government department, local authority or other body constituted for the purposes of the public service, local government or the administration of justice; or any other body whose members are appointed by Her Majesty, any Minister , the Scottish Ministers or any government department or whose revenues consist wholly or mainly of money provided by Parliament. Where it appears to the Commission that there may be information which they require for the purposes of carrying out their functions, and the information is outside the United Kingdom, they may apply to the High Court to request assistance. On an application made by the Commission under subsection (1), the High Court may request assistance if satisfied that it is reasonable in the circumstances. In this section, “request assistance” means request assistance in obtaining outside the United Kingdom any information specified in the request for use by the Commission for the purposes of carrying out their functions. Section 8 of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (c.32) (sending requests for assistance) applies to requests for assistance under this section as it applies to requests for assistance under section 7 of that Act. Subsections (2), (3) and (6) of section 9 of that Act (use of evidence obtained) apply to information obtained pursuant to a request for assistance under this section as they apply under subsection (1) of that section to evidence obtained pursuant to a request for assistance under section 7 of that Act. A person who is or has been a member or employee of the Commission shall not disclose any information obtained by the Commission in the exercise of any of their functions unless the disclosure of the information is excepted from this section by section 194K or 194M of this Act. A member of the Commission shall not authorise the disclosure by an employee of the Commission of any information obtained by the Commission in the exercise of any of their functions unless the authorisation of the disclosure of the information is excepted from this section by section 194K or 194M of this Act. A person who contravenes this section is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine of an amount not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. The disclosure of information, or the authorisation of the disclosure of information, is excepted from section 194J of this Act by this section if the information is disclosed, or is authorised to be disclosed— for the purposes of any criminal, disciplinary or civil proceedings; in order to assist in dealing with an application made to the Secretary of State for compensation for a miscarriage of justice; by a person who is a member or an employee of the Commission to another person who is a member or an employee of the Commission; in any statement or report required by this Act; in or in connection with the exercise of any function under this Act; or in any circumstances in which the disclosure of information is permitted by an order made by the Secretary of State. The disclosure of information is also excepted from section 194J of this Act by this section if the information is disclosed by an employee of the Commission who is authorised to disclose the information by a member of the Commission. The disclosure of information, or the authorisation of the disclosure of information, is also excepted from section 194J of this Act by this section if the information is disclosed, or is authorised to be disclosed, for the purposes of— the investigation of an offence; or deciding whether to prosecute a person for an offence, unless the disclosure is or would be prevented by an obligation or other limitation on disclosure (including any such obligation or limitation imposed by, under or by virtue of any enactment) arising otherwise than under that section. Where the disclosure of information is excepted from section 194J of this Act by subsection (1) or (2) above, the disclosure of the information is not prevented by any obligation of secrecy or other limitation on disclosure (including any such obligation or limitation imposed by, under or by virtue of any enactment) arising otherwise than under that section. The power to make an order under subsection (1)(f) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Where a person or body is required by an order under section 194I of this Act to produce or allow access to a document or other material to the Commission and notifies them that any information contained in the document or other material to which the order relates is not to be disclosed by the Commission without his or its prior consent, the Commission shall not disclose the information without such consent. Such consent may not be withheld unless— (apart from section 194I of this Act) the person would have been prevented by any obligation of secrecy or other limitation on disclosure from disclosing the information without such consent; and it is reasonable for the person to withhold his consent to disclosure of the information by the Commission. An obligation of secrecy or other limitation on disclosure which applies to a person only where disclosure is not authorised by another person shall not be taken for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) above to prevent the disclosure by the person of information to the Commission unless— reasonable steps have been taken to obtain the authorisation of the other person; or such authorisation could not reasonably be expected to be obtained. The disclosure of information, or the authorisation of disclosure of information, is excepted from section 194J by this section if— the conditions specified in subsection (2) are met, and the Commission have determined that it is appropriate in the whole circumstances for the information to be disclosed. The conditions are that— the information relates to a case that has been referred to the High Court under section 194B(1), the reference concerns— a conviction, or a finding under section 55(2), and the case has fallen, or has been abandoned, under the provisions or other rules applying by virtue of section 194B(1). Where the disclosure of information is excepted from section 194J by section 194M, the disclosure of the information is not prevented by any obligation of confidentiality or other limitation on disclosure arising otherwise than under section 194J. For the purpose of subsection (1), such an obligation or limitation does not include one imposed— by, under or by virtue of any enactment, or by any interdict or other court order applying in connection with this section. When considering for the purpose of section 194M(1) the question of whether it is appropriate for the information to be disclosed, the Commission have the following duties. The Commission must— so far as practicable, take reasonable measures to— notify each of the affected persons of the possibility that the information may be disclosed, and seek the views of each of them on the question, and to such extent (and in such manner) as they think fit, consult the other interested persons. allow the prescribed period for each of the affected and other interested persons involved to take steps (including legal action) in their own favour in relation to the question, and have regard to any material representations made to them on the question by any of those affected and other interested persons within the prescribed period. The Commission must have regard to any other factors that they believe to be significant in relation to the question. In subsections (2) and (3)— the references to the affected persons are to the persons— to whom the information directly relates, or from whom the information was obtained, whether directly or indirectly, the references to the other interested persons are to (so far as not among the affected persons)— the Lord Advocate, and such additional persons (if any) as appear to the Commission to have a substantial interest in the question. In subsection (3), the references to the prescribed period in relation to a particular person are to— the period of 6 weeks, or such longer period as the Commission may set, starting with the date on which the notification was sent to, or (as the case may be) consultation was initiated with respect to, the person. Subsections (3) and (6) are inapplicable in relation to a particular person if the Commission cannot reasonably ascertain the person's whereabouts. Unless subsection (3) is complied with, section 194M(1) is of no effect in relation to any information falling within subsection (2). Information falls within this subsection if it— is held by the Commission, and at any time, has been supplied by the UK Government under arrangements of any kind. This subsection is complied with if, at any time, the UK Government has in connection with section 194M(1) given its consent to disclosure of the information. In this section, “the UK Government” means a Minister of the Crown or a department of the Government of the United Kingdom. at any time, has been supplied by a designated foreign authority under arrangements of any kind. This subsection is complied with if the designated foreign authority has in connection with section 194M(1) given its consent to disclosure of the information, by virtue of— the arrangements concerned, or subsection (4). Where not previously given by virtue of those arrangements, it is for the Commission to seek the designated foreign authority's consent to disclosure of the information. Subsection (1) does not apply if the information also falls within section 194P(2). The references in section 194Q to a designated foreign authority are to a current or previous authority of a prosecutorial, judicial or other character which is or was located within a country or territory outwith the United Kingdom. But, if in connection with subsection (4) of that section— the Commission cannot reasonably identify or find the particular authority in question, or they are unsuccessful in their reasonable attempts to communicate with it, the references in subsections (3) and (4) of that section to the designated foreign authority are to be read as if they were to the relevant foreign government. In the application of subsection (2), paragraph (a) of subsection (3) of that section is to be ignored. the references to the Commission include their acting with the Lord Advocate's help, the reference to the relevant foreign government— is to the government of the other country or territory, in the event of doubt as to the status or operation of a governmental system in the other country or territory, is to be regarded as being to the body described in subsection (5). That is, the principal body in it (for the time being (if any)) that is recognised by the Government of the United Kingdom as having responsibility for exercising governmental control centrally. Sections 194O to 194R cease to have effect if subsection (2) prevails. This subsection prevails where, on their preliminary examination of the question to which section 194O(1) relates, the Commission determine for the purpose of section 194M(1) that it is manifestly inappropriate for the information to be disclosed. But— if there is a material change in any significant factor on which the determination depended, it is open to the Commission to re-examine the question (and this is to be regarded as another preliminary examination of the question), where they choose to re-examine the question, the effect of sections 194O to 194R is restored unless subsection (2) again prevails. If the Commission decide in pursuance of section 194M(1) to disclose the information— subsection (2) applies initially, and subsection (3) applies subsequently. Before disclosing the information, the Commission must— so far as practicable, take reasonable measures to notify of the decision— each of the affected persons, and to the same extent as they were consulted under section 194O(2)(b), the other interested persons, and allow the prescribed period for each of the affected and other interested persons involved to take steps (including legal action) in their own favour in relation to the decision. In disclosing the information, the Commission must— explain the context in which the information is being disclosed by them (including by describing the background to the case), and where (for any reason) other information relating to the case remains undisclosed by them, explicitly state that fact, and do so along with the material by which the disclosure is made. In subsection (2), the references to the affected and other interested persons are to be construed in accordance with section 194O(5). In subsection (2)(b), the reference to the prescribed period in relation to a particular person is to— starting with the date on which the notification was sent to the person. Subsections (2)(b) and (5) are inapplicable in relation to a particular person if the Commission cannot reasonably ascertain the person's whereabouts. In subsection (3)(b), the reference to other information is to any other information obtained by the Commission in the exercise of their functions. Where at any diet in proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court, sentence falls to be imposed but the sheriff holds that any competent sentence which he can impose is inadequate or it appears to him that the criteria mentioned in section 210E of this Act (that is to say, the risk criteria) may be met so that , in either case, the question of sentence is appropriate for the High Court, he shall— endorse upon the record copy of the indictment a certificate of the plea or the verdict, as the case may be; by interlocutor written on the record copy remit the convicted person to the High Court for sentence; and append to the interlocutor a note of his reasons for the remit, and a remit under this section shall be sufficient warrant to bring the accused before the High Court for sentence and shall remain in force until the person is sentenced. Where under any enactment an offence is punishable on conviction on indictment by imprisonment for a term exceeding five years but the enactment either expressly or impliedly restricts the power of the sheriff to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding five years, it shall be competent for the sheriff to remit the accused to the High Court for sentence under subsection (1) above; and it shall be competent for the High Court to pass any sentence which it could have passed if the person had been convicted before it. When the Clerk of Justiciary receives the record copy of the indictment he shall send a copy of the note of reasons to the convicted person or his solicitor and to the Crown Agent. Subject to subsection (3) above, the note of reasons shall be available only to the High Court and the parties. In determining what sentence to pass on, or what other disposal or order to make in relation to, an offender who has pled guilty to an offence, a court shall take into account— the stage in the proceedings for the offence at which the offender indicated his intention to plead guilty, and the circumstances in which that indication was given. In passing sentence on an offender referred to in subsection (1) above, the court shall— state whether, having taken account of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection, the sentence imposed in respect of the offence is different from that which the court would otherwise have imposed; and if it is not, state reasons why it is not. Subsection (1C) applies where— the court is making an order for lifelong restriction to which section 205ZB applies in respect of an offender or imposing on an offender— a serious terrorism sentence of imprisonment under section 205ZA(2), a serious terrorism sentence of detention under section 205ZA(6), a sentence of imprisonment for life to which section 205ZB applies, or a sentence of detention for life to which section 205ZB applies, and the offender has pled guilty to the offence for which the offender is being sentenced. The court may, after taking into account the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1), impose as the appropriate custodial term or, as the case may be, specify as the punishment part, a term of any length which is not less than 80 per cent of the term which would otherwise be required. Where the court is passing sentence on an offender under section 205B(2) of this Act and that offender has pled guilty to the offence for which he is being so sentenced, the court may, after taking into account the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1) above, pass a sentence of less than seven years imprisonment or, as the case may be, detention but any such sentence shall not be of a term of imprisonment or period of detention of less than five years, two hundred and nineteen days. Without prejudice to any rule of law, a court in passing sentence shall have regard to any relevant opinion pronounced under section 118(7) or section 189(7) of this Act. In any case the sentence to be pronounced shall be announced by the judge in open court and shall be entered in the record in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. In recording a sentence of imprisonment, it shall be sufficient to minute the term of imprisonment to which the court sentenced the accused, without specifying the prison in which the sentence is to be carried out; and an entry of sentence, signed by the clerk of court, shall be full warrant and authority for any subsequent execution of the sentence and for the clerk to issue extracts for the purposes of execution or otherwise. In extracting a sentence of imprisonment, the extract may be in the form set out in an Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. Subject to subsection (3) below, where a person is convicted of the contravention of an enactment and the penalty which may be imposed involves— imprisonment; the imposition of a fine; the finding of caution for good behaviour or otherwise whether or not imposed in addition to imprisonment or a fine, subsection (2) below shall apply. Where this subsection applies, the court, in addition to any other power conferred by statute, shall have power— to reduce the period of imprisonment; to substitute for imprisonment a fine (either with or without the finding of caution for good behaviour); to substitute for imprisonment or a fine the finding of caution; to reduce the amount of the fine; to dispense with the finding of caution. Subsection (2) above shall not apply— in relation to an enactment which carries into effect a treaty, convention, or agreement with a foreign state which stipulates for a fine of a minimum amount; or to proceedings taken under any Act relating to any of Her Majesty’s regular or auxiliary forces. ; or to any proceedings in which the court on conviction is under a duty to impose a sentence under section 205A(2) or 205B(2) of this Act. Where, in summary proceedings, a fine is imposed in substitution for imprisonment, the fine— in the case of an offence which is triable either summarily or on indictment, shall not exceed the prescribed sum; and in the case of an offence triable only summarily, shall not exceed level 4 on the standard scale. Where the finding of caution is imposed under this section— in respect of an offence which is triable only summarily, the amount shall not exceed level 4 on the standard scale and the period shall not exceed that which the court may impose under this Act; and in any other case, the amount shall not exceed the prescribed sum and the period shall not exceed 12 months. Without prejudice to any powers exercisable by a court under section 201 of this Act, where— the court finds that an accused has committed an offence punishable with imprisonment; and it appears to the court that before the method of dealing with him is determined an inquiry ought to be made into his physical or mental condition, Where this subsection applies the court shall— for the purpose of inquiry solely into his physical condition, remand him in custody or on bail; for the purpose of inquiry into his mental condition (whether or not in addition to his physical condition), remand him in custody or on bail or, where the court is satisfied— on the written or oral evidence of a medical practitioner, that the person appears to be suffering from a mental disorder; and that the accused could be admitted to a hospital that is suitable for his detention, make an order committing him to that hospital, for such period or periods, no single period exceeding three weeks, as the court thinks necessary to enable a medical examination and report to be made. Where the court is of the opinion that a person ought to continue to be committed to hospital for the purpose of inquiry into his mental condition following the expiry of the period specified in an order for committal to hospital under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above, the court may— if the condition in sub-paragraph (i) of that paragraph continues to be satisfied and he could be admitted to a hospital that is suitable for his continued detention, renew the order for such further period not exceeding three weeks as the court thinks necessary to enable a medical examination and report to be made; and in any other case, remand the person in custody or on bail in accordance with subsection (2) above. An order under subsection (3)(a) above may, unless objection is made by or on behalf of the person to whom it relates, be made in his absence. Where, before the expiry of the period specified in an order for committal to hospital under subsection (2)(b) above, the court considers, on an application made to it, that committal to hospital is no longer required in relation to the person, the court shall revoke the order and may make such other order, under subsection (2)(a) above or any other provision of this Part of this Act, as the court considers appropriate. Where an accused is remanded on bail under this section, it shall be a condition of the order granting bail that he shall— undergo a medical examination by a duly qualified registered medical practitioner or, where the inquiry is into his mental condition, and the order granting bail so specifies, two such practitioners; and for the purpose of such examination, attend at an institution or place, or on any such practitioner specified in the order granting bail and, where the inquiry is into his mental condition, comply with any directions which may be given to him for the said purpose by any person so specified or by a person of any class so specified, and, if arrangements have been made for his reception, it may be a condition of the order granting bail that the person shall, for the purpose of the examination, reside in an institution or place specified as aforesaid, not being an institution or place to which he could have been remanded in custody, until the expiry of such period as may be so specified or until he is discharged therefrom, whichever first occurs. On exercising the powers conferred by this section to remand in custody or on bail the court shall— where the person is remanded in custody, send to the institution or place in which he is detained; and where the person is released on bail, send to the institution or place at which or the person by whom he is to be examined, a statement of the reasons for which it appears to the court that an inquiry ought to be made into his physical or mental condition, and of any information before the court about his physical or mental condition. On making an order of committal to hospital under subsection (2)(b) above the court shall send to the hospital specified in the order a statement of the reasons for which the court is of the opinion that an inquiry ought to be made into the mental condition of the person to whom it relates, and of any information before the court about his mental condition. A person remanded under this section may , before the expiry of the period of 24 hours beginning with his remand, appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court by note of appeal against the refusal of bail or against the conditions imposed and a person committed to hospital under this section may , at any time during the period when the order for his committal, or, as the case may be, renewal of such order, is in force, appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court by note of appeal against the order of committal . . . . . . , and the appropriate Appeal Court, either in court or in chambers, may after hearing parties— review the order and grant bail on such conditions as it thinks fit; or confirm the order; or in the case of an appeal against an order of committal to hospital, revoke the order and remand the person in custody. A note of appeal under subsection (9) above is to be— lodged with the clerk of the court from which the appeal is to be taken; and sent without delay by that clerk (where not the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court) to the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court. The court may, on cause shown, vary an order for committal to hospital under subsection (2)(b) above by substituting another hospital for the hospital specified in the order. Subsection (2)(b) above shall apply to the variation of an order under subsection (10) above as it applies to the making of an order for committal to hospital. in the case of an appeal under subsection (9) against a decision of the High Court, that Court; in the case of an appeal under subsection (9) against a decision of a sheriff (whether in solemn or summary proceedings) or a JP court, the Sheriff Appeal Court; and in a case where the High Court is the appropriate Appeal Court, the Clerk of Justiciary; Where an accused has been convicted or the court has found that he committed the offence and before he has been sentenced or otherwise dealt with, subject to subsection (3) below, the court may adjourn the case for the purpose of enabling inquiries to be made or of determining the most suitable method of dealing with his case. Where the court adjourns a case solely for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1) above, it shall remand the accused in custody or on bail or ordain him to appear at the adjourned diet. Subject to section 21(9) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7), a court shall not adjourn the hearing of a case as mentioned in subsection (1) above for any single period exceeding four weeks or, on cause shown, eight weeks. An accused who is remanded under this section may appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court against the refusal of bail or against the conditions imposed within 24 hours of his remand, by note of appeal . . . , and the appropriate Appeal Court, either in court or in chambers, may . . . — review the order appealed against and either grant bail on such conditions as it thinks fit or ordain the accused to appear at the adjourned diet; or confirm the order. A note of appeal under subsection (4) above is to be— in the case of an appeal under subsection (4) against a decision of the High Court, that Court; in the case of an appeal under subsection (4) against a decision of a sheriff (whether in solemn or summary proceedings) or a JP court, the Sheriff Appeal Court; and It shall be competent for a court to defer sentence after conviction for a period and on such conditions as the court may determine. If it appears to the court which deferred sentence on an accused under subsection (1) above that he has been convicted during the period of deferment, by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or , where the court which deferred sentence considers appropriate, by a court in any member State of the European Union of an offence committed during that period and has been dealt with for that offence, the court which deferred sentence may— issue a warrant for the arrest of the accused; or instead of issuing such a warrant in the first instance, issue a citation requiring him to appear before it at such time as may be specified in the citation, and on his appearance or on his being brought before the court it may deal with him in any manner in which it would be competent for it to deal with him on the expiry of the period of deferment. Where a court which has deferred sentence on an accused under subsection (1) above convicts him of another offence during the period of deferment, it may deal with him for the original offence in any manner in which it would be competent for it to deal with him on the expiry of the period of deferment, as well as for the offence committed during the said period. Where a person specified in section 27(1)(b)(i) to (vi) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 commits an offence, the court shall not dispose of the case without obtaining from the local authority in whose area the person resides a report as to— the circumstances of the offence; and the character of the offender, including his behaviour while under the supervision, or as the case may be subject to the order, so specified in relation to him. However, if there is available to the court a report from a local authority— of the kind described in subsection (1)(b) above; and which was prepared in relation to the person not more than 3 months before the person was convicted of the offence, the court need not obtain another report of that kind before disposing of the case unless it considers, following representations made by or on behalf of the person as to the person's circumstances, that it is appropriate to obtain another report. Nothing in subsection (1) or (1A) above requires the court to obtain a report if the court is satisfied, having regard to its likely method of dealing with the case before it for disposal, that the report would not be of any material assistance. In subsection (1) above, “the court” does not include a JP court . Where, in any case, a report by an officer of a local authority is made to the court with a view to assisting the court in determining the most suitable method of dealing with any person in respect of an offence, a copy of the report shall be given by the clerk of the court to the offender, the offender's solicitor (if any), and This section applies where an organisation is convicted of an offence. Before dealing with the organisation in respect of the offence, the court may obtain a report into the organisation's financial affairs and structural arrangements. The report is to be prepared by a person appointed by the court. The person appointed to prepare the report is referred to in this section as the “reporter”. The court may issue directions to the reporter about— the information to be contained in the report, the particular matters to be covered by the report, the time by which the report is to be submitted to the court. The court may order the organisation to give the reporter and any person acting on the reporter's behalf— access at all reasonable times to the organisation's books, documents and other records, such information or explanation as the reporter thinks necessary. The reporter's costs in preparing the report are to be paid by the clerk of court, but the court may order the organisation to reimburse to the clerk all or a part of those costs. An order under subsection (7) may be enforced by civil diligence as if it were a fine. On submission of the report to the court, the clerk of court must provide a copy of the report to— the organisation, the organisation's solicitor (if any), and The court must have regard to the report in deciding how to deal with the organisation in respect of the offence. If the court decides to impose a fine, the court must, in determining the amount of the fine, have regard to— the report, and if the court makes an order under subsection (7), the amount of costs that the organisation is required to reimburse under the order. makes an order under subsection (7), and imposes a fine on the organisation, any payment by the organisation is first to be applied in satisfaction of the order under subsection (7). Where the court also makes a compensation order in respect of the offence, any payment by the organisation is first to be applied in satisfaction of the compensation order before being applied in accordance with subsection (12). A court shall not pass a sentence of imprisonment or of detention in respect of any offence, nor impose imprisonment, or detention, under section 214(2) of this Act in respect of failure to pay a fine, on an accused who is not legally represented in that court and has not been previously sentenced to imprisonment or detention by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or or, where the court passing sentence considers appropriate, by a court in any member State of the European Union, unless the accused either— applied for legal aid and the application was refused on the ground that he was not financially eligible; or having been informed of his right to apply for legal aid, and having had the opportunity, failed to do so. A court shall not pass a sentence of imprisonment on a person of or over twenty-one years of age who has not been previously sentenced to imprisonment or detention by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or or, where the court passing sentence considers appropriate, by a court in any member State of the European Union unless the court considers that no other method of dealing with him is appropriate; . . .. For the purpose of determining under subsection (2) above whether any other method of dealing with such a person is appropriate, the court , unless it has made a risk assessment order in respect of the person, shall take into account— such information as it has been able to obtain from an officer of a local authority or otherwise about his circumstances; any information before it concerning his character and mental and physical condition; its power to make a hospital direction in addition to imposing a sentence of imprisonment. Where a court of summary jurisdiction passes a sentence of imprisonment on any such person as is mentioned in subsection (2) above, the court shall state the reason for its opinion that no other method of dealing with him is appropriate, and shall have that reason entered in the record of the proceedings. A court must not pass a sentence of imprisonment for a term of 12 months or less on a person unless the court considers that no other method of dealing with the person is appropriate. Where a court passes such a sentence, the court must— state its reasons for the opinion that no other method of dealing with the person is appropriate, and have those reasons entered in the record of the proceedings. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument substitute for the number of months for the time being specified in subsection (3A) another number of months. An order under subsection (3C) is not to be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. A modification of the number of months specified in subsection (3A), by an order made under subsection (3C), applies only to offences committed on or after the date on which the modification comes into force. The court shall, for the purpose of determining whether a person has been previously sentenced to imprisonment or detention by a court in any part of the United Kingdom— disregard a previous sentence of imprisonment which, having been suspended, has not taken effect under section 23 of the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 or under section 19 of the Treatment of Offenders Act (Northern Ireland) 1968; construe detention as meaning — in relation to Scotland, detention in a young offenders institution or detention centre; in relation to England and Wales a sentence of youth custody, borstal training or detention in a young offender institution or detention centre; and in relation to Northern Ireland, detention in a young offenders centre. The court shall, for the purpose of determining whether a person has been previously sentenced to imprisonment or detention by a court in a member State of the European Union ...— disregard any previous sentence of imprisonment which, being the equivalent of a suspended sentence, has not taken effect; construe detention as meaning an equivalent sentence to any of those mentioned in subsection (4)(b). Any issue of equivalence arising in pursuance of subsection (4A) is for the court to determine. This section does not affect the power of a court to pass sentence on any person for an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law. “legal aid” means legal aid for the purposes of any part of the proceedings before the court; “legally represented” means represented by counsel or a solicitor at some stage after the accused is found guilty and before he is dealt with as referred to in subsection (1) above. A court sentencing a person to imprisonment or other detention shall not order or direct that the term of imprisonment or detention shall commence on the expiration of any other such sentence from which he has been released at any time under the existing or new provisions within the meaning of Schedule 6 to the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993. This section applies in respect of sentencing for offences committed after the coming into force of this section. Where, in solemn proceedings, the court sentences a person to imprisonment or other detention, the court may— Where, in such proceedings, it falls to the court to sentence a person who is subject to a previous sentence in respect of which a punishment part requires to be (but has not been) specified, the court shall not sentence the person until such time as the part is either specified or no longer requires to be specified. Where the court sentences a person to a sentence of imprisonment or other detention for life, for an indeterminate period or without limit of time, the court may, if the person is serving or is liable to serve for any offence— a previous sentence of imprisonment or other detention the term of which is not treated as part of a single term under section 27(5) of the 1993 Act; or two or more previous sentences of imprisonment or other detention the terms of which are treated as a single term under that section of that Act, frame the sentence to take effect on the day after the person would (but for the sentence so framed and disregarding any subsequent sentence) be entitled to be released under the provisions referred to in section 204A of this Act as respects the sentence or sentences. Subsection (4)(a) above shall not apply where the sentence is a sentence from which he has been released at any time under the provisions referred to in section 204A of this Act. In this section, any reference to a punishment part of a sentence shall be construed by reference to— This section is without prejudice to any other power under any enactment or rule of law as respects sentencing. Subject to subsections (2) and (3) and section 205Dbelow, a person convicted of murder shall be sentenced to imprisonment for life. Where a person convicted of murder is a child he shall not be sentenced to imprisonment for life but to be detained without limit of time and shall be liable to be detained in such place (in any part of the United Kingdom), and under such conditions, as the Secretary of State may , subject to section 208A, direct. Where a person convicted of murder has attained the age of 18 years but is under the age of 21 years he shall not be sentenced to imprisonment for life but to be detained in a young offenders institution and shall be liable to be detained for life. a person is convicted on indictment of a serious terrorism offence, the offence was committed on or after the day on which section 6 of the Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act 2021 comes into force, the offender was aged 18 or over when the offence was committed, the court is of the opinion that there is a significant risk to members of the public of serious harm occasioned by the commission by the offender of further serious terrorism offences or other terrorism offences to which section 210A applies, the court does not impose a sentence of imprisonment for life or a sentence of detention for life in a young offenders institution, the court does not make an order for lifelong restriction, and the risk of multiple deaths condition is met. Where the offender is 21 years of age or over, the court must impose a serious terrorism sentence of imprisonment unless the court is of the opinion that there are exceptional circumstances which— relate to the offence or to the offender, and justify not doing so. The risk of multiple deaths condition is that the court is of the opinion that— the serious terrorism offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, was very likely to result in or contribute to (whether directly or indirectly) the deaths of at least two people as a result of an act of terrorism (within the meaning of section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000), and the offender was, or ought to have been, aware of that likelihood. It is irrelevant for the purposes of determining whether the risk of multiple deaths condition is met whether or not any death actually occurred.

A serious terrorism sentence of imprisonment is a sentence of imprisonment the term of which is equal to the aggregate of— the appropriate custodial term, and a further period (“the extension period”) for which the offender is to be subject to a licence under Part 1 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993. Where the offender is under 21 years of age, the court must impose a serious terrorism sentence of detention unless the court is of the opinion that there are exceptional circumstances which— A serious terrorism sentence of detention is a sentence of detention in a young offenders institution the term of which is equal to the aggregate of— The appropriate custodial term is— 14 years, or if longer, the term of imprisonment or, as the case may be, detention that would be imposed in respect of the offence if the court did not impose a serious terrorism sentence of imprisonment or, as the case may be, a serious terrorism sentence of detention (or a sentence under section 205ZC or an extended sentence under section 210A). The extension period must be a period of such length as the court considers necessary for the purpose of protecting members of the public from serious harm occasioned by the commission by the offender of further serious terrorism offences or other terrorism offences to which section 210A applies (but subject to subsection (10)). The extension period must— be at least 7 years, and not exceed 25 years. Before forming an opinion for the purposes of subsection (1)(d), the court must— consider a report by a relevant officer of a local authority about the offender and the offender's circumstances, and if the court thinks it necessary, hear that officer. “local authority” and “relevant officer” have the meanings given by section 27 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993; “serious terrorism offence” means an offence that— is specified in Part 1 of Schedule 5ZA, or is specified in Part 2 of that Schedule and has been proved to have been aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection under section 31 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008. section 205ZA(1)(a) to (d) and (f) applies in relation to a person, and the court— imposes a sentence of imprisonment for life or a sentence of detention for life in a young offenders institution on the person, or makes an order for lifelong restriction in respect of the person. In making under section 2(3) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 an order mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act in respect of the offender, the court must specify a punishment part of at least 14 years (but subject to subsection (3) and section 196(1C) of this Act). The punishment part may be less than 14 years if the court is of the opinion that there are exceptional circumstances which— justify a lesser period. Before forming an opinion for the purposes of section 205ZA(1)(d) (by virtue of subsection (1)), the court must— In this section, “local authority” and “relevant officer” have the meanings given by section 27 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993. a person is convicted on indictment of a terrorism offence on or after the day on which section 23 of the Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act 2021 comes into force, and the court does not impose one of the following for the offence— a sentence of imprisonment for life to which section 205ZB applies, a sentence of imprisonment for life to which section 205ZB does not apply but which is imposed for a terrorism offence, a sentence of detention for life to which section 205ZB applies, a sentence of detention for life to which section 205ZB does not apply but which is imposed for a terrorism offence (or a sentence of detention without limit of time so imposed), an order for lifelong restriction to which section 205ZB applies, an order for lifelong restriction to which section 205ZB does not apply but which is imposed for a terrorism offence, a serious terrorism sentence of detention under section 205ZA(6), or an extended sentence under section 210A. This section also applies where— a person is convicted on indictment of an offence specified in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB on or after the day on which section 8 of the Sentencing Act 2026 comes into force, and the court does not impose one of the following for the offence or for an offence associated with it— a sentence of imprisonment for life, a sentence of detention for life, an order for lifelong restriction under section 210F, For the purposes of subsection (1A), an offence is associated with another if— the offender— is convicted of it in the proceedings in which the offender is convicted of the other offence, or (although convicted of it in earlier proceedings) is sentenced for it at the same time as being sentenced for that offence, or in the proceedings in which the offender is sentenced for the other offence, the offender— admits having committed it, and asks the court to take it into consideration in sentencing for that other offence. But this section does not apply where— the offender is under the age of 18 when convicted of the offence, and the offence was committed — if the offence is a terrorism offence, before the day on which section 23 of the Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act 2021 came into force; if the offence is an offence specified in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB, before the day on which section 8 of the Sentencing Act 2026 came into force. If the court decides to impose a sentence of imprisonment and the offender is 21 years of age or over, the court must impose a sentence of imprisonment the term of which is equal to the aggregate of— a further period of 1 year for which the offender is to be subject to a licence under Part 1 of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993. If the offender is at least 18 years of age but under 21 (other than an offender falling within subsection (5)) and the court decides to impose a sentence of detention, the court must impose a sentence of detention in a young offenders institution the term of which is equal to the aggregate of— If the offender is a child and the court decides to impose a sentence of detention, the court must impose a sentence of detention in such place and on such conditions as may be directed under section 208 the term of which is equal to the aggregate of— The “appropriate custodial term” is the term that, in the opinion of the court, ensures that the sentence is appropriate. The term of a sentence of imprisonment or, as the case may be, a sentence of detention, imposed under this section for an offence must not exceed the term that, at the time the offence was committed, was the maximum term permitted for the offence. In this section, “terrorism offence” means— an offence that is specified in Part 1 of Schedule 5ZB, or any other offence that has been proved to have been aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection under section 31 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008. In the case of an offence specified in paragraph 4(b) of Schedule 5ZB (breach of foreign travel restriction order), this section applies in relation to convictions on or after the day on which paragraph 2 of Schedule 27 to the Crime and Policing Act 2026 comes into force. a person is convicted on indictment in the High Court of a class A drug trafficking offence committed after the commencement of section 2 of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997; at the time when that offence was committed, he had attained the age of at least 18 years and had two previous convictions for relevant offences, irrespective of— whether either of those offences was committed before or after the commencement of section 2 of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997; the court in which any such conviction was obtained; and his age at the time of the commission of either of those offences; and one of the offences mentioned in paragraph (b) above was committed after he had been convicted of the other. In subsection (1), “ relevant offence ” means— in relation to a conviction by a court in any part of the United Kingdom, a class A drug trafficking offence; in relation to a conviction by a court in a member State of the European Union which the court passing sentence considers appropriate to take into account, an offence that is equivalent to a class A drug trafficking offence. Any issue of equivalence arising in pursuance of subsection (1A)(b) is for the court to determine. Subject to subsection (3) below, where this section applies the court shall sentence the person— where he has attained the age of 21 years, to a term of imprisonment of at least seven years; and where he has attained the age of 18 years but is under the age of 21 years, to detention in a young offenders institution for a period of at least seven years. The court shall not impose the sentence otherwise required by subsection (2) above where it is of the opinion that there are specific circumstances which— relate to any of the offences or to the offender; and would make that sentence unjust. For the purposes of section 106(2) of this Act a sentence passed under subsection (2) above in respect of a conviction for a class A drug trafficking offence shall not be regarded as a sentence fixed by law for that offence. In this section “ class A drug trafficking offence ” means a drug trafficking offence committed in respect of a class A drug; and for this purpose— “ class A drug ” has the same meaning as in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971; “ drug trafficking offence ” means an offence specified in paragraph 2 or (so far as it relates to that paragraph) paragraph 10 of Schedule 4 to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002; For the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of each of sections 205A and 205B of this Act “ conviction ” includes— a finding of guilt in respect of which the offender was admonished under section 181 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975 (admonition); and a conviction for which an order is made placing the offender on probation, and related expressions shall be construed accordingly. This subsection applies where a person has at any time been convicted of an offence under— section 70 of the Army Act 1955; section 70 of the Air Force Act 1955; or section 42 of the Naval Discipline Act 1957. Where subsection (2) above applies and the corresponding civil offence (within the meaning of the Act under which the offence was committed) was— a relevant offence within the meaning of section 205A of this Act; or a Class A drug trafficking offence within the meaning of section 205B of this Act, that section shall have effect as if he had been convicted in England and Wales of the corresponding civil offence. Where a person is convicted on the same indictment of more than one offence for which the court must impose or would, apart from this section, have imposed a sentence of imprisonment for life, only one such sentence shall be imposed in respect of those offences. No person shall be sentenced to imprisonment by a court of summary jurisdiction for a period of less than 15 days. It shall not be competent to impose imprisonment on a person under 21 years of age. Subject to sections 205(2) and (3) , 205ZA(6), 205ZC(4), 205A(2)(b) and 205B(2)(b) of this Act and to subsections (3) and (4) below, a court may impose detention (whether by way of sentence or otherwise) on a person, who is not less than 18 but under 21 years of age, where but for subsection (1) above the court would have power to impose a period of imprisonment; and a period of detention imposed under this section on any person shall not be less than the minimum nor more thanthe maximum period of imprisonment which might otherwise have been imposed. The court shall not under subsection (2) above impose detention on an offender unless it is of the opinion that no other method of dealing with him is appropriate; and the court shall state its reasons for that opinion, and, except in the case of the High Court, those reasons shall be entered in the record of proceedings. Subsections (2) and (3) above are subject to— section 51A(2) of the Firearms Act 1968 (minimum sentences for certain firearms offences); and section 29(8) of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (minimum sentence of detention for certain offences relating to dangerous weapons). To enable the court to form an opinion under subsection (3) above, it shall obtain from an officer of a local authority or otherwise such information as it can about the offender’s circumstances; and it shall also take into account any information before it concerning the offender’s character and physical and mental condition. In forming an opinion under subsection (3) above the court shall take into account its power to make a hospital direction in addition to imposing a period of detention. Subsections (4) and (4A) above apply to the forming of an opinion under the enactments mentioned in subsection (3A) above as they apply to the forming of an opinion under subsection (3) above. A sentence of detention imposed under this section shall be a sentence of detention in a young offenders institution. Subject to sections 205 and 205ZC(5) of this Act and subsection (3) below , where a child is convicted on indictment and the court is of the opinion that no other method of dealing with him is appropriate, it may sentence him to be detained for a period which it shall specify in the sentence; and the child shall during that period be liable to be detained in such place (in any part of the United Kingdom) and on such conditions as the Secretary of State may , subject to section 208A, direct. Where the court imposes a sentence of detention on a child, the court must— state its reasons for the opinion that no other method of dealing with the child is appropriate, and Subsections (1) and (1A) above are subject to— section 29(9) of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (minimum sentence of detention for certain offences relating to dangerous weapons). If the child is under the age of 16 years, the power conferred by subsection (1) above shall not be exercisable in respect of a conviction for an offence under section 9(1) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 8) or that section as applied by section 234AA(11) of this Act. This section applies where a child is sentenced— to be detained without limit of time under section 205(2), or to be detained under section 208(1). The Scottish Ministers may not direct under section 205(2) or, as the case may be, 208(1) that a child be detained in a prison or a young offenders institution. The Scottish Ministers may direct that a child be detained in secure accommodation. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision about the detention in secure accommodation of children to whom this section applies. Regulations under subsection (4) may, in particular, make provision about the circumstances in which such children may remain in secure accommodation despite attaining the age of 18 years (provided that no person may remain in such accommodation after attaining the age of 19 years). Regulations under subsection (4) are subject to the affirmative procedure. In this section, “secure accommodation” has the meaning given by section 202(1) of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. Where a person is convicted on indictment of an offence , other than a sexual offence within the meaning of section 210A of this Act, and is sentenced to imprisonment for a term of . . . less than four years, the court on passing sentence may, if it considers that it is necessary to do so to protect the public from serious harm from the offender on his release, make such order as is mentioned in subsection (3) below. A court shall, before making an order under subsection (1) above, consider a report by a relevant officer of a local authority about the offender and his circumstances and, if the court thinks it necessary, hear that officer. The order referred to in subsection (1) above (to be known as a “supervised release order”) is that the person, during a relevant period— be under the supervision . . . of a relevant officer of a local authority or of an officer of a local probation board appointed for or assigned to a petty sessions area or (as the case may be) an officer of a provider of probation services acting in a local justice area (such local authority or the justices for such area to be designated under section 14(4) or 15(1) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993); comply with; such requirements as may be imposed by the court in the order; and such requirements as that officer may reasonably specify, for the purpose of securing the good conduct of the person or preventing, or lessening the possibility of, his committing a further offence (whether or not an offence of the kind for which he was sentenced); and comply with the standard requirements imposed by virtue of subsection (4)(a)(i) below. A supervised release order— shall— without prejudice to subsection (3)(b) above, contain such requirements (in this section referred to as the “standard requirements”); and be as nearly as possible in such form, as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal; for the purposes of any appeal or review constitutes part of the sentence of the person in respect of whom the order is made; and shall have no effect during any period in which the person is subject to a licence under Part I of the said Act of 1993. Before making a supervised release order as respects a person the court shall explain to him, in as straightforward a way as is practicable, the effect of the order and the possible consequences for him of any breach of it. The clerk of the court by which a supervised release order is made in respect of a person shall— forthwith send a copy of the order to the person and to the Secretary of State; and within seven days after the date on which the order is made, send to the Secretary of State such documents and information relating to the case and to the person as are likely to be of assistance to a supervising officer. “relevant officer” has the same meaning as in Part I of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993; “relevant period” means such period as may be specified in the supervised release order, being a period— not exceeding twelve months after the date of the person’s release; and no part of which is later than the date by which the entire term of imprisonment specified in his sentence has elapsed; and “supervising officer” means, where an authority has or justices have been designated as is mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above for the purposes of the order, any relevant officer or, as the case may be, officer of a local probation board or officer of a provider of probation services who is for the time being supervising for those purposes the person released. Where a person— is serving a sentence of imprisonment and on his release from that sentence will be subject to a supervised release order; and is sentenced to a further term of imprisonment, whether that term is to run consecutively or concurrently with the sentence mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the relevant period for any supervised release order made in relation to him shall begin on the date when he is released from those terms of imprisonment; and where there is more than one such order he shall on his release be subject to whichever of them is for the longer or, as the case may be, the longest period. A supervised release order made in relation to a person is to be taken to be of no effect if the person becomes a long-term prisoner, as defined in section 27(1) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993, because of the treating of— a sentence in association with which the order is made, and any other sentence (whenever imposed on the person), together as a single term by virtue of section 27(5) of that Act. This section applies to a person sentenced under section 207 of this Act as it applies to a person sentenced to a period of imprisonment. A court, in passing a sentence of imprisonment or detention on a person for an offence, shall— in determining the period of imprisonment or detention, have regard to any period of time spent in custody by the person on remand awaiting trial or sentence, or spent in custody awaiting extradition to the United Kingdom otherwise than from a category 1 territory , or spent in hospital awaiting trial or sentence by virtue of an assessment order, a treatment order or an interim compulsion order or by virtue of an order made under section . . . 200 of this Act; specify the date of commencement of the sentence; and if the person— has spent a period of time in custody on remand awaiting trial or sentence; or is an extradited prisoner who was extradited to the United Kingdom otherwise than from a category 1 territory, ; or has spent a period of time in hospital awaiting trial or sentence by virtue of an assessment order, a treatment order or an interim compulsion order or by virtue of an order made under section . . . 200 of this Act, and the date specified under paragraph (b) above is not earlier than the date on which sentence was passed, state its reasons for not specifying an earlier date so however that a period of time spent both in custody on remand and, by virtue of section 47(1) of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 ..., abroad is not for any reason to be discounted in a determination under paragraph (a) above or specification under paragraph (b) above. Subsection (1B) applies where— a court is passing a sentence of imprisonment or detention on a person for an offence, and the person is an extradited prisoner who was extradited to the United Kingdom from a category 1 territory. The court shall specify— the period of time spent in custody awaiting extradition, and the date of commencement of the sentence in accordance with subsection (1C). The date of commencement of the sentence is to be a date the relevant number of days earlier than the date the sentence would have commenced had the person not spent time in custody awaiting extradition. In subsection (1C), “the relevant number of days” means the number of days in the period specified under subsection (1B)(a). A prisoner is an extradited prisoner for the purposes of this section if— he was tried for the offence in respect of which his sentence of imprisonment was imposed— after having been extradited to the United Kingdom; and without having first been restored to the state from which he was extradited or having had an opportunity of leaving the United Kingdom; and he was for any period in custody while awaiting such extradition. In this section, “category 1 territory” means a territory designated under the Extradition Act 2003 for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act. a court passes a sentence of imprisonment or detention on a person for an offence, and the person has spent a period of time (“the bail period”) on qualifying bail awaiting trial or sentence. When passing the sentence, the court must— have regard to the bail period, specify, in accordance with subsection (3), a period of time (“the relevant period”) which is to be treated as a period of time spent in custody by the person, and unless the relevant period is nil, direct (for the purpose of executing the sentence) that the person is to be treated as having served either— the sentence in full, where the relevant period is equal to or greater than the sentence passed, or such part of the sentence as is equal to the relevant period, where the relevant period is less than the sentence passed. The relevant period is to be the period equal to one-half of either of the following (rounded up, as necessary, to the nearest whole day)— the bail period, or the bail period less such period (whether all or part of the bail period) as the court considers appropriate to disregard. Where the court specifies the relevant period in accordance with subsection (3)(b), it must state its reasons for disregarding all or (as the case may be) part of the bail period. Nothing in this section affects the application of section 210 to any period of time which the person may additionally have spent in custody or in hospital as described in that section. For the purposes of this section— “qualifying bail” means bail subject to a condition— which requires the person to remain at one or more specified places for a total period (whether or not continuous) of not less than 9 hours in any given day, and in relation to which the person is required to submit to monitoring in accordance with Part 1 of the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 (electronic monitoring etc.), references to the bail period are references to the period beginning on the day on which the person is granted qualifying bail and ending on the day before the day on which the person ceases to be on qualifying bail. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations— modify— the meaning of “qualifying bail” or “the bail period” given by subsection (6), the meaning of “the relevant period” given by subsection (3), further modify this section, or modify any other enactment, to make such further provision for the purposes of this section as the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate. Regulations under subsection (7)— may include incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision, are subject to the affirmative procedure. Where a person is convicted on indictment of a sexual , violent or terrorism offence, the court may, if it— intends, in relation to— a sexual offence, to pass a determinate sentence of imprisonment; or a violent or terrorism offence, to pass such a sentence for a term of four years or more; ... considers that the period (if any) for which the offender would, apart from this section, be subject to a licence would not be adequate for the purpose of protecting the public from serious harm from the offender, and is not required by section 205ZA to impose a serious terrorism sentence of imprisonment or a serious terrorism sentence of detention, pass an extended sentence on the offender. An extended sentence is a sentence of imprisonment which is the aggregate of— the term of imprisonment (“ the custodial term ”) which the court would have passed on the offender otherwise than by virtue of this section; and a further period (“ the extension period ”) for which the offender is to be subject to a licence and which is, subject to the provisions of this section, of such length as the court considers necessary for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above. The extension period shall not exceed, in the case of— a sexual offence, ten years; ... a violent offence, ten years, and a terrorism offence, ten years. A court shall, before passing an extended sentence, consider a report by a relevant officer of a local authority about the offender and his circumstances and, if the court thinks it necessary, hear that officer. The term of an extended sentence passed for a statutory offence shall not exceed the maximum term of imprisonment provided for in the statute in respect of that offence. Subject to subsection (5) above, a sheriff may pass an extended sentence which is the aggregate of a custodial term not exceeding the maximum term of imprisonment which he may impose and an extension period not exceeding five years. The Secretary of State may by order— amend paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above by substituting a different period, not exceeding ten years, for the period for the time being specified in that paragraph; and make such transitional provision as appears to him to be necessary or expedient in connection with the amendment. The power to make an order under subsection (7) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument; but no such order shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. An extended sentence shall not be imposed where the sexual or violent offence was committed before the commencement of section 86 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. “ licence ” and “ relevant officer ” have the same meaning as in Part I of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993; “ sexual offence ” means— abduction of a woman or girl with intent to rape or ravish; sodomy; an offence under section 170 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 in relation to goods prohibited to be imported under section 42 of the Customs Consolidation Act 1876, but only where the prohibited goods include indecent photographs of persons; an offence under section 52 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (taking and distribution of indecent images of children); an offence under section 52A of that Act (possession of indecent images of children); an offence under section 1 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (incest); an offence under section 2 of that Act (intercourse with a stepchild); an offence under section 3 of that Act (intercourse with child under 16 by person in position of trust); an offence under section 5 of that Act (unlawful intercourse with girl under 16); an offence under section 6 of that Act (indecent behaviour towards girl between 12 and 16); an offence under section 8 of that Act (abduction of girl under 18 for purposes of unlawful intercourse); an offence under section 10 of that Act (person having parental responsibilities causing or encouraging sexual activity in relation to a girl under 16); . . . an offence under subsection (5) of section 13 of that Act (homosexual offences); . . . an offence under section 3 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000 (abuse of position of trust). . . an offence under section 311(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13)(non-consensual sexual acts). an offence under section 1 of the Protection of Children and Prevention of Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2005 (asp 9) (meeting a child following certain preliminary conduct); an offence under section 9 of that Act (paying for sexual services of a child); an offence under section 10 of that Act (causing or inciting provision by child of sexual services or child pornography); an offence under section 11 of that Act (controlling a child providing sexual services or involved in pornography); an offence under section 12 of that Act (arranging or facilitating provision by child of sexual services or child pornography). and an offence which consists of a contravention of any of the following provisions of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (asp 9)— section 11 (administering a substance for sexual purposes), section 22 (causing a young child to be present during a sexual activity) section 42 (sexual abuse of trust), an offence (other than one mentioned in the preceding paragraphs) where the court determines for the purposes of this paragraph that there was a significant sexual aspect to the offender's behaviour in committing the offence; “ imprisonment ” includes— detention under section 207 of this Act; and detention under section 208 of this Act; ... “terrorism offence” means an offence that— is specified in Part 1 of Schedule 5ZC, or is specified in Part 2 of that Schedule and has been proved to have been aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection under section 31 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008; “ violent offence ” means any offence (other than an offence which is a sexual offence within the meaning of this section) inferring personal violence. In subsection (10) any reference to a “ sexual offence ” includes? a reference to any attempt, conspiracy or incitement to commit that offence; and except in the case of an offence under paragraphs (i) to (viii) of the definition of “sexual offence” in that subsection, a reference to aiding and abetting, counselling or procuring the commission of that offence; the references to “rape” in paragraphs (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “sexual offence” are to the offence of rape at common law; and the references to “the statutory offence of rape” in paragraphs (iiia) and (iva) of that definition are (as the case may be) to? An extended sentence may be passed by reference to paragraph (xxviii) only if the offender is or is to become, by virtue of Schedule 3 to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (c.42), subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of that Act. Where a person is convicted on indictment of abduction but the offence is other than is mentioned in paragraph (iii) of the definition of “sexual offence” in subsection (10) of section 210A of this Act, that section shall apply in relation to the person as it applies in relation to a person so convicted of a violent offence. When sentencing a person convicted of an offence listed in subsection (2)(b), the court must have particular regard to the aim of ensuring that the victim is not the subject of a further such offence committed by the convicted person. For the purpose of subsection (1)— “victim” means the person against whom the offence was committed, an offence that is aggravated as described in section 1(1)(a) of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016. This subsection applies where it falls to the High Court to impose sentence on a person convicted of an offence other than murder and that offence— is (any or all)— a sexual offence (as defined in section 210A(10) of this Act); a violent offence (as so defined); an offence which endangers life; or is an offence the nature of which, or circumstances of the commission of which, are such that it appears to the court that the person has a propensity to commit any such offence as is mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of paragraph (a) above. Where subsection (1) above applies, the court, at its own instance or (provided that the prosecutor has given the person notice of his intention in that regard) on the motion of the prosecutor, if it considers that the risk criteria may be met, shall make an order under this subsection (a “ risk assessment order ”) unless— the court makes an interim compulsion order by virtue of section 210D(1) of this Act in respect of the person; or the person is subject to an order for lifelong restriction previously imposed. A risk assessment order is an order— for the convicted person to be taken to a place specified in the order, so that there may be prepared there— by a person accredited for the purposes of this section by the Risk Management Authority; and in such manner as may be so accredited, a risk assessment report (that is to say, a report as to what risk his being at liberty presents to the safety of the public at large); and providing for him to be remanded in custody there for so long as is necessary for those purposes and thereafter there or elsewhere until such diet as is fixed for sentence. On making a risk assessment order, the court shall adjourn the case for a period not exceeding ninety days. The court may on one occasion, on cause shown, extend the period mentioned in subsection (4) above by not more than ninety days; and it may exceptionally, where by reason of circumstances outwith the control of the person to whom it falls to prepare the risk assessment report (the “ assessor ”), or as the case may be of any person instructed under section 210C(5) of this Act to prepare such a report, the report in question has not been completed, grant such further extension as appears to it to be appropriate. There shall be no appeal against a risk assessment order or against any refusal to make such an order. The assessor may, in preparing the risk assessment report, take into account not only any previous conviction of the convicted person , including a conviction by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or in any member State of the European Union, but also any allegation that the person has engaged in criminal behaviour (whether or not that behaviour resulted in prosecution and acquittal). Where the assessor, in preparing the risk assessment report, takes into account any allegation that the person has engaged in criminal behaviour, the report is to— list each such allegation; set out any additional evidence which supports the allegation; and explain the extent to which the allegation and evidence has influenced the opinion included in the report under subsection (3) below. The assessor shall include in the risk assessment report his opinion as to whether the risk mentioned in section 210B(3)(a) of this Act is, having regard to such standards and guidelines as are issued by the Risk Management Authority in that regard, high, medium or low. The assessor shall submit the risk assessment report to the High Court by sending it, together with such documents as are available to the assessor and are referred to in the report, to the Principal Clerk of Justiciary, who shall then send a copy of the report and of those documents to the prosecutor and to the convicted person. The convicted person may, during the period of his detention at the place specified in the risk assessment order, himself instruct the preparation (by a person other than the assessor) of a risk assessment report; and if such a report is so prepared then the person who prepares it shall submit it to the court by sending it, together with such documents as are available to him (after any requirement under subsection (4) above is met) and are referred to in the report, to the Principal Clerk of Justiciary, who shall then send a copy of it and of those documents to the prosecutor. When the court receives the risk assessment report submitted by the assessor a diet shall be fixed for the convicted person to be brought before it for sentence. If, within such period after receiving a copy of that report as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, the convicted person intimates, in such form, or as nearly as may be in such form, as may be so prescribed— that he objects to the content or findings of that report; and what the grounds of his objection are, the prosecutor and he shall be entitled to produce and examine witnesses with regard to— that content or those findings; and the content or findings of any risk assessment report instructed by the person and duly submitted under subsection (5) above. Where subsection (1) of section 210B of this Act applies, the High Court, if— it may make an interim compulsion order in respect of the person under section 53 of this Act; and it considers that the risk criteria may be met, shall make such an order unless the person is subject to an order for lifelong restriction previously imposed. Where an interim compulsion order is made by virtue of subsection (1) above, a report as to the risk the convicted person’s being at liberty presents to the safety of the public at large shall be prepared by a person accredited for the purposes of this section by the Risk Management Authority and in such manner as may be so accredited. Section 210C(1) to (4) and (7)(except paragraph (ii)) of this Act shall apply in respect of any such report as it does in respect of a risk assessment report. For the purposes of sections 195(1), 210B(2), 210D(1) and 210F(1) and (3) of this Act, the risk criteria are that the nature of, or the circumstances of the commission of, the offence of which the convicted person has been found guilty either in themselves or as part of a pattern of behaviour are such as to demonstrate that there is a likelihood that he, if at liberty, will seriously endanger the lives, or physical or psychological well-being, of members of the public at large. Sections 271 to 271M, 274 to 275C and 288C to 288F of this Act (in this section referred to as the “ applied sections ”) apply in relation to proceedings under section 210C(7) of this Act as they apply in relation to proceedings in or for the purposes of a trial, references in the applied sections to the “trial” and to the “trial diet” being construed accordingly. But for the purposes of this section the references— in sections 271(1)(a) and 271B(1)(b) to the date of commencement of the proceedings in which the trial is being held or is to be held; and in section 288E(2)(b) to the date of commencement of the proceedings, are to be construed as references to the date of commencement of the proceedings in which the person was convicted of the offence in respect of which sentence falls to be imposed (such proceedings being in this section referred to as the “ original proceedings ”). And for the purposes of this section any reference in the applied sections to— an “accused” (or to a person charged with an offence) is to be construed as a reference to the convicted person except that the reference in section 271(2)(e)(iii) to an accused is to be disregarded; an “alleged” offence is to be construed as a reference to any or all of the following— the offence in respect of which sentence falls to be imposed; any other offence of which the convicted person has been convicted; any alleged criminal behaviour of the convicted person; and a “ complainer ” is to be construed as a reference to any or all of the following— the person who was the complainer in the original proceedings; in the case of any such offence as is mentioned in paragraph (b)(ii) above, the person who was the complainer in the proceedings relating to that offence; in the case of alleged criminal behaviour if it was alleged behaviour directed against a person, the person in question. any person who is giving or is to give evidence at an examination under section 210C(7) of this Act gave evidence at the trial in the original proceedings; and a special measure or combination of special measures was used by virtue of section 271A, 271C or 271D of this Act for the purpose of taking the person's evidence at that trial, that special measure or, as the case may be, combination of special measures is to be treated as having been authorised, by virtue of the same section, to be used for the purpose of taking the person's evidence at or for the purposes of the examination. Subsection (4) above does not affect the operation, by virtue of subsection (1) above, of section 271D of this Act. The High Court, at its own instance or on the motion of the prosecutor, if it is satisfied, having regard to— any risk assessment report submitted under section 210C(4) or (5) of this Act; any report submitted by virtue of section 210D of this Act; any evidence given under section 210C(7) of this Act; and any other information before it, that, on a balance of probabilities, the risk criteria are met, shall , in a case where it may make a compulsion order in respect of the convicted person under section 57A of this Act, either make such an order or make an order for lifelong restriction in respect of that person and in any other case make an order for lifelong restriction in respect of that person. An order for lifelong restriction constitutes a sentence of imprisonment, or as the case may be detention, for an indeterminate period. The prosecutor may, on the grounds that on a balance of probabilities the risk criteria are met, appeal against any refusal of the court to make an order for lifelong restriction. Where, in respect of a convicted person— a risk assessment order is not made under section 210B(2) of this Act, or (as the case may be) an interim compulsion order is not made by virtue of section 210D(1) of this Act, because the court does not consider that the risk criteria may be met; or the court considers that the risk criteria may be met but a risk assessment order, or (as the case may be) an interim compulsion order, is not so made because the person is subject to an order for lifelong restriction previously imposed, the court shall dispose of the case as it considers appropriate. Where, in respect of a convicted person, an order for lifelong restriction is not made under section 210F of this Act because the court is not satisfied (in accordance with subsection (1) of that section) that the risk criteria are met, the court, in disposing of the case, shall not impose on the person a sentence of imprisonment for life, detention for life or detention without limit of time. This subsection applies where a person falls to be sentenced— in the High Court for an offence (other than murder) mentioned in section 210B(1) of this Act; or in the sheriff court for such an offence prosecuted on indictment. Where subsection (1) above applies, the court shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, prepare a report in writing, in such form as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal— as to the circumstances of the case; and containing such other information as it considers appropriate, but no such report shall be prepared if a report is required to be prepared under section 21(4) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7). Where an accused who is convicted on indictment of any offence (whether triable only on indictment or triable either on indictment or summarily other than by virtue of section 292(6) of this Act) would apart from this subsection be liable to a fine of or not exceeding a specified amount, he shall by virtue of this subsection be liable to a fine of any amount. Where any Act confers a power by subordinate instrument to make a person liable on conviction on indictment of any offence mentioned in subsection (1) above to a fine or a maximum fine of a specified amount, or which shall not exceed a specified amount, the fine which may be imposed in the exercise of that power shall by virtue of this subsection be a fine of an unlimited amount. Any sentence or decree for any fine or expenses pronounced by a sheriff court or JP court may be enforced against the person or effects of any party against whom the sentence or decree was awarded— in the district where the sentence or decree was pronounced; or in any other such district. A fine imposed by the High Court shall be remitted for enforcement to, and shall be enforceable as if it had been imposed by— where the person upon whom the fine was imposed resides in Scotland, the sheriff for the district where that person resides; and where that person resides outwith Scotland, the sheriff before whom he was brought for examination in relation to the offence for which the fine was imposed. All fines and expenses imposed in . . . proceedings under this Act shall be paid to the clerk of any court, or to any other person (or class of person) authorised by the Scottish Ministers for the purpose, to be accounted for . . . to the person entitled to such fines and expenses, and it shall not be necessary to specify in any sentence the person entitled to payment of such fines or expenses unless it is necessary to provide for the division of the penalty. A court in determining the amount of any fine to be imposed on an offender shall take into consideration, amongst other things, the means of the offender so far as known to the court. Where a court of summary jurisdiction imposes a fine on an offender, the court may order him to be searched, and any money found on him on apprehension or when so searched or when taken to prison or to a young offenders institution in default of payment of the fine, may, unless the court otherwise directs and subject to subsection (2) below, be applied towards payment of the fine, and the surplus if any shall be returned to him. Money shall not be applied as mentioned in subsection (1) above if the court is satisfied that it does not belong to the person on whom it was found or that the loss of the money will be more injurious to his family than his imprisonment or detention.

When a court of summary jurisdiction, which has adjudged that a sum of money shall be paid by an offender, considers that any money found on the offender on apprehension, or after he has been searched by order of the court, should not be applied towards payment of such sum, the court, shall make a direction in writing to that effect which shall be written on the extract of the sentence which imposes the fine before it is issued by the clerk of the court. An accused may make an application to such a court either orally or in writing, through the governor of the prison in whose custody he may be at that time, that any sum of money which has been found on his person should not be applied in payment of the fine adjudged to be paid by him. A person who alleges that any money found on the person of an offender is not the property of the offender, but belongs to that person, may apply to such court either orally or in writing for a direction that the money should not be applied in payment of the fine adjudged to be paid, and the court after enquiry may so direct. A court of summary jurisdiction, which has adjudged that a sum of money shall be paid by an offender, may order the attendance in court of the offender, if he is in prison, for the purpose of ascertaining the ownership of money which has been found on his person. A notice in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form, addressed to the governor of the prison in whose custody an offender may be at the time, signed by the judge of a court of summary jurisdiction shall be a sufficient warrant to the governor of such prison for conveying the offender to the court. A fine may at any time be remitted in whole or in part by— in a case where a transfer of fine order under section 222 of this Act is effective and the court by which payment is enforceable is, in terms of the order, a court of summary jurisdiction in Scotland, that court; or in any other case, the court which imposed the fine or, where that court was the High Court, by which payment was first enforceable. Where the court remits the whole or part of a fine after imprisonment has been imposed under section 214(2) or (4) of this Act, it shall also remit the whole period of imprisonment or, as the case may be, reduce the period by an amount which bears the same proportion to the whole period as the amount remitted bears to the whole fine. The power conferred by subsection (1) above shall be exercisable without requiring the attendance of the accused. Where a court has imposed a fine on an offender or ordered him to find caution the court shall, subject to subsection (2) below, allow him at least seven days to pay the fine or the first instalment thereof or, as the case may be, to find caution; and any reference in this section and section 216 of this Act to a failure to pay a fine or other like expression shall include a reference to a failure to find caution. If on the occasion of the imposition of a fine— the offender appears to the court to possess sufficient means to enable him to pay the fine forthwith; or on being asked by the court whether he wishes to have time for payment, he does not ask for time; or he fails to satisfy the court that he has a fixed abode; or the court is satisfied for any other special reason that no time should be allowed for payment, the court may refuse him time to pay the fine and, if the offender fails to pay, may exercise its power to impose imprisonment and, if it does so, shall state the special reason for its decision. In all cases where time is not allowed by a court for payment of a fine, the reasons of the court for not so allowing time shall be stated in the extract of the finding and sentence as well as in the finding and sentence itself. Where time is allowed for payment of a fine or payment by instalments is ordered, the court shall not, on the occasion of the imposition of a fine, impose imprisonment in the event of a future default in paying the fine or an instalment thereof unless the offender is before it and the court determines that, having regard to the gravity of the offence or to the character of the offender, or to other special reason, it is expedient that he should be imprisoned without further inquiry in default of payment; and where a court so determines, it shall state the special reason for its decision. Where a court has imposed imprisonment in accordance with subsection (4) above, then, if at any time the offender asks the court to commit him to prison, the court may do so notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall affect any power of the court to order a fine to be recovered by civil diligence. Where time has been allowed for payment of a fine imposed by the court, it may, on an application by or on behalf of the offender, and after giving the prosecutor an opportunity of being heard, allow further time for payment. Without prejudice to subsection (2) above, where a court has imposed a fine on an offender, the court may, of its own accord or on the application of the offender, order payment of that fine by instalments of such amounts and at such time as it may think fit. Where the court has ordered payment of a fine by instalments it may— allow further time for payment of any instalment thereof; order payment thereof by instalments of lesser amounts, or at longer intervals, than those originally fixed, and the powers conferred by this subsection shall be exercisable without requiring the attendance of the accused. An application by an offender for further time in which to pay a fine imposed on him by a court, or of instalments thereof, shall be made, subject to subsection (2) below, to that court. Where a transfer of fine order has been made under section 222 of this Act, section 90 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 or Article 95 of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, an application under subsection (1) above shall be made to the court specified in the transfer order, or to the court specified in the last transfer order where there is more than one transfer. A court to which an application is made under this section shall allow further time for payment of the fine or of instalments thereof, unless it is satisfied that the failure of the offender to make payment has been wilful or that the offender has no reasonable prospect of being able to pay if further time is allowed. An application made under this section may be made orally or in writing. Where a court has imposed a fine or ordered the finding of caution without imposing imprisonment in default of payment, subject to subsection (2) below, it shall not impose imprisonment on an offender for failing to make payment of the fine or, as the case may be, to find caution, unless on an occasion subsequent to that sentence the court has enquired into in his presence the reason why the fine has not been paid or, as the case may be, caution has not been found. Subsection (1) above shall not apply where the offender is in prison. A court may, for the purpose of enabling enquiry to be made under this section— issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before the court at a time and place appointed in the citation; or issue a warrant of apprehension. On the failure of the offender to appear before the court in response to a citation under this section, the court may issue a warrant of apprehension. The citation of an offender to appear before a court in terms of subsection (3)(a) above shall be effected in like manner, mutatis mutandis, as the citation of an accused to a sitting or diet of the court under section 141 of this Act, and— the citation shall be signed by the clerk of the court before which the offender is required to appear, instead of by the prosecutor; and the forms relating to the citation of an accused shall not apply to such citation. The following matters shall be, or as nearly as may be, in such form as is prescribed by Act of Adjournal— the citation of an offender under this section; if the citation of the offender is effected by an officer of law, the written execution, if any, of that officer of law; a warrant of apprehension issued by a court under subsection (4) above; and the minute of procedure in relation to an enquiry into the means of an offender under this section. Where a child would, if he were an adult, be liable to be imprisoned in default of payment of any fine the court may, if it considers that none of the other methods by which the case may legally be dealt with is suitable, order that the child be detained for such period, not exceeding one month, as may be specified in the order in a place chosen by the local authority in whose area the court is situated. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision about the detention in secure accommodation of children to whom subsection (7) applies. Regulations under subsection (8) may, in particular, make provision about the circumstances in which such children may remain in secure accommodation despite attaining the age of 18 years (provided that no person may remain in such accommodation after attaining the age of 19 years). Regulations under subsection (8) are subject to the affirmative procedure. Where an offender has been allowed time for payment of a fine, the court may, either on the occasion of the imposition of the fine or on a subsequent occasion, order that he be placed under the supervision of such person, in this section referred to as the “supervising officer”, as the court may from time to time appoint for the purpose of assisting and advising the offender in regard to payment of the fine. An order made in pursuance of subsection (1) above shall remain in force so long as the offender to whom it relates remains liable to pay the fine or any part of it unless the order ceases to have effect or is discharged under subsection (3) below. An order under this section shall cease to have effect on the making of a transfer of fine order under section 222 of this Act in respect of the fine or may be discharged by the court that made it without prejudice, in either case, to the making of a new order. Where an offender under 21 years of age has been allowed time for payment of a fine, the court shall not order the form of detention appropriate to him in default of payment of the fine unless— he has been placed under supervision in respect of the fine; or the court is satisfied that it is impracticable to place him under supervision. Where a court, on being satisfied as mentioned in subsection (4)(b) above, orders the detention of a person under 21 years of age without an order under this section having been made, the court shall state the grounds on which it is so satisfied. Where an order under this section is in force in respect of an offender, the court shall not impose imprisonment in default of the payment of the fine unless before doing so it has— taken such steps as may be reasonably practicable to obtain from the supervising officer a report, which may be oral, on the offender’s conduct and means, and has considered any such report; and in a case where an enquiry is required by section 216 of this Act, considered such enquiry. When a court appoints a different supervising officer under subsection (1) above, a notice shall be sent by the clerk of the court to the offender in such form, as nearly as may be, as is prescribed by Act of Adjournal. The supervising officer shall communicate with the offender with a view to assisting and advising him in regard to payment of the fine, and unless the fine or any instalment thereof is paid to the clerk of the court within the time allowed by the court for payment, the supervising officer shall report to the court without delay after the expiry of such time, as to the conduct and means of the offender. Where an enforcement order has been made under section 226B of this Act in relation to payment of the fine, the supervising officer shall, instead of reporting under subsection (8) above to the court, report under that subsection to the fines enforcement officer dealing with the order. Where under the provisions of section 214 or 217 of this Act a court is required to state a special reason for its decision or the grounds on which it is satisfied that it is undesirable or impracticable to place an offender under supervision, the reason or, as the case may be, the grounds shall be entered in the record of the proceedings along with the finding and sentence. Any reference in the said sections 214 and 217 to imprisonment shall be construed, in the case of an offender on whom by reason of his age imprisonment may not lawfully be imposed, as a reference to the lawful form of detention in default of payment of a fine appropriate to that person, and any reference to prison shall be construed accordingly. Where a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of an offender for non-payment of a fine, the offender may, notwithstanding section 211(6) of this Act, pay such fine in full to a constable; and the warrant shall not then be enforced and the constable shall remit the fine to the clerk of court. Subject to sections 214 to 218 of this Act and subsection (1A) below— a court may, when imposing a fine, impose a period of imprisonment in default of payment; or where no order has been made under paragraph (a) above and a person fails to pay a fine, or any part or instalment of a fine, by the time ordered by the court (or, where section 214(2) of this Act applies, immediately) the court may, subject to section 235(1) of this Act, impose a period of imprisonment for such failure either with immediate effect or to take effect in the event of the person failing to pay the fine or any part or instalment of it by such further time as the court may order, whether or not the fine is imposed under an enactment which makes provision for its enforcement or recovery. Subsection (1) shall not apply to a fine imposed for an offence under section 107 of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 8). Subject to the following subsections of this section, the maximum period of imprisonment which may be imposed under subsection (1) above or for failure to find caution, shall be as follows— Where an offender is fined on the same day before the same court for offences charged in the same indictment or complaint or in separate indictments or complaints, the amount of the fine shall, for the purposes of this section, be taken to be the total of the fines imposed. Where a court has imposed a period of imprisonment in default of payment of a fine, and— an instalment of the fine is not paid at the time ordered; or part only of the fine has been paid within the time allowed for payment, the offender shall be liable to imprisonment for a period which bears to the period so imposed the same proportion, as nearly as may be, as the amount outstanding at the time when warrant is issued for imprisonment of the offender in default bears to the original fine. Where no period of imprisonment in default of payment of a fine has been imposed and— the offender shall be liable to imprisonment for a maximum period which bears, as nearly as may be, the same proportion to the maximum period of imprisonment which could have been imposed by virtue of the Table in subsection (2) above in default of payment of the original fine as the amount outstanding at the time when he appears before the court bears to the original fine. If in any sentence or extract sentence the period of imprisonment inserted in default of payment of a fine or on failure to find caution is in excess of that competent under this Part of this Act, such period of imprisonment shall be reduced to the maximum period under this Part of this Act applicable to such default or failure, and the judge who pronounced the sentence shall have power to order the sentence or extract to be corrected accordingly. The provisions of this section shall be without prejudice to the operation of section 220 of this Act. Where in any case— the sheriff considers that the imposition of imprisonment for the number of years for the time being specified in section 3(3) of this Act would be inadequate; and the maximum period of imprisonment which may be imposed under subsection (1) above (or under that subsection as read with either or both of sections 252(2) of this Act and section 118(2) , (2A) and (2B) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 exceeds that number of years, he shall remit the case to the High Court for sentence. Where a person committed to prison or otherwise detained for failure to pay a fine imposed by a court pays to the governor of the prison, under conditions prescribed by rules made under the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989, any sum in part satisfaction of the fine, the term of imprisonment imposed under section 219 of this Act in respect of the fine shall be reduced (or as the case may be further reduced) by a number of days bearing as nearly as possible the same proportion to such term as the sum so paid bears to the amount of the fine outstanding at the commencement of the imprisonment. The day on which any sum is paid as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall not be regarded as a day served by the prisoner as part of the said term of imprisonment. All sums paid under this section shall be handed over on receipt by the governor of the prison to the clerk of the court in which the conviction was obtained, and thereafter paid and applied pro tanto in the same manner and for the same purposes as sums adjudged to be paid by the conviction and sentence of the court, and paid and recovered in terms thereof, are lawfully paid and applied. In this section references to a prison and to the governor thereof shall include respectively references to any other place in which a person may be lawfully detained in default of payment of a fine, and to an officer in charge thereof. Where any fine falls to be recovered by civil diligence in pursuance of this Act or in any case in which a court may think it expedient to order a fine to be recovered by civil diligence, there shall be added to the finding of the court imposing the fine a warrant for civil diligence in a form prescribed by Act of Adjournal which shall have the effect of authorising— the charging of the person who has been fined to pay the fine within the period specified in the charge and, in the event of failure to make such payment within that period, the execution of an arrestment; the attachment of articles belonging to him; and the execution of a money attachment , and, if necessary for the purpose of executing the attachment or the money attachment, the opening of shut and lockfast places; an arrestment other than an arrestment of earnings in the hands of his employer, and such diligence, whatever the amount of the fine imposed, may be executed in the same manner as if the proceedings were on an extract decree of the sheriff in a summary cause. Subject to subsection (3) below, proceedings by civil diligence under this section may be taken at any time after the imposition of the fine to which they relate. No such proceedings shall be authorised after the offender has been imprisoned in consequence of his having defaulted in payment of the fine. Where proceedings by civil diligence for the recovery of a fine or caution are taken, imprisonment for non-payment of the fine or for failure to find such caution shall remain competent and such proceedings may be authorised after the court has imposed imprisonment for, or in the event of, the non-payment or the failure but before imprisonment has followed such imposition. Where a court has imposed a fine on a person convicted of an offence and it appears to the clerk of court that he is residing— within the jurisdiction of another court in Scotland; or in any petty sessions area in England and Wales; or in any petty sessions district in Northern Ireland, that clerk may order that payment of the fine shall be enforceable by that other court or in that petty sessions area or petty sessions district as the case may be. Where a court has imposed a fine on a person convicted of an offence, and it appears to the clerk of court that there is a fine imposed by another court (of whatever kind) in the same sheriffdom, that clerk may order that payment of the fine is to be enforceable by that other court. An order under this section (in this section referred to as a “transfer of fine order”) shall specify the court by which or the petty sessions area or petty sessions district in which payment is to be enforceable and, where the court to be specified in a transfer of fine order is a court of summary jurisdiction, it shall, in any case where the order is made by the sheriff clerk, be a sheriff court. Subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, where a transfer of fine order is made with respect to any fine under this section, any functions under any enactment relating to that sum which, if no such order had been made, would have been exercisable by the court which made the order or by the clerk of that court shall cease to be so exercisable. Where , in relation to a transfer of fine order made under subsection (1)(a) above— the clerk of the court specified in the order is satisfied, after inquiry, that the offender is not residing within the jurisdiction of that court; and the clerk of that court, within 14 days of receiving the notice required by section 223(1) of this Act, sends to the clerk of the court which made the order notice to that effect, the order shall cease to have effect. Where a transfer of fine order ceases to have effect by virtue of subsection (4) above, the functions referred to in subsection (3) above shall again be exercisable by the court which made the order or, as the case may be, by the clerk of that court. Where a transfer of fine order under this section, section 90 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 or Article 95 of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 specifies a court of summary jurisdiction in Scotland, that court and the clerk of that court shall have all the like functions under this Part of this Act in respect of the fine or the sum in respect of which that order was made (including the power to make any further order under this section) as if the fine or the sum were a fine imposed by that court and as if any order made under this section, the said Act of 1980 or the said Order of 1981 in respect of the fine or the sum before the making of the transfer of fine order had been made by that court. The functions of the court to which subsection (6) above relates shall be deemed to include the court’s power to apply to the Secretary of State under any regulations made by him under section 24(1)(a) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (power to deduct fines etc from income support). Where a transfer of fine order under section 90 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, Article 95 of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, or this section provides for the enforcement by a sheriff court in Scotland of a fine imposed by the Crown Court, the term of imprisonment which may be imposed under this Part of this Act shall be the term fixed in pursuance of section 129 of the Sentencing Code by the Crown Court or a term which bears the same proportion to the term so fixed as the amount of the fine remaining due bears to the amount of the fine imposed by that court, notwithstanding that the term exceeds the period applicable to the case under section 219 of this Act. Where the clerk of a court makes a transfer of fine order under section 222 of this Act, that clerk shall send to the clerk of the court specified in the order— a notice in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal, or as nearly as may be in such form; a statement of the offence of which the offender was convicted; and a statement of the steps, if any, taken to recover the fine, and shall give him such further information, if any, as, in his opinion, is likely to assist the court specified in the order in recovering the fine. In the case of a further transfer of fine order, the clerk of court who made the order shall send to the clerk of the court by which the fine was imposed a copy of the notice sent to the clerk of the court specified in the order. The clerk of court specified in a transfer of fine order shall, as soon as may be after he has received the notice mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above, send an intimation to the offender in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. The clerk of court specified in a transfer of fine order shall remit or otherwise account for any payment received in respect of a fine imposed by a court outwith Scotland to the clerk of the court by which the fine was imposed, and if the sentence has been enforced otherwise than by payment of the fine, he shall inform the clerk of court how the sentence was enforced. All warrants of imprisonment in default of payment of a fine, or on failure to find caution, shall specify a period at the expiry of which the person sentenced shall be discharged, notwithstanding the fine has not been paid, or caution found. There shall be a standard scale of fines for offences triable only summarily, which shall be known as “ the standard scale ”. The standard scale is shown below— Any reference in any enactment, whenever passed or made, to a specified level on the standard scale shall be construed as referring to the amount which corresponds to that level on the standard scale referred to in subsection (2) above. If it appears to the Secretary of State that there has been a change in the value of money since the relevant date, he may by order substitute for the sum or sums for the time being specified in the provisions mentioned in subsection (5) below such other sum or sums as appear to him justified by the change. The provisions referred to in subsection (4) above are— subsection (2) above; subsection (8) below; section 219(2) of this Act; column 5 or 6 of Schedule 4 to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 so far as the column in question relates to the offences under provisions of that Act specified in column 1 of that Schedule in respect of which the maximum fines were increased by Part II of Schedule 8 to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. In subsection (4) above “ the relevant date ” means— in relation to the first order made under that subsection, the date the last order was made under section 289D(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975; and in relation to each subsequent order, the date of the previous order. An order under subsection (4) above— shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament and may be revoked by a subsequent order thereunder; and without prejudice to Schedule 14 to the Criminal Law Act 1977, shall not affect the punishment for an offence committed before that order comes into force. In this Act “ the prescribed sum ” means £10,000 or such sum as is for the time being substituted in this definition by an order in force under subsection (4) above. The Secretary of State may by order amend an enactment specifying a sum to which this subsection applies so as to substitute for that sum such other sum as appears to him— to be justified by a change in the value of money appearing to him to have taken place since the last occasion on which the sum in question was fixed; or to be appropriate to take account of an order altering the standard scale which has been made or is proposed to be made. Subsection (1) above applies to any sum which— is higher than level 5 on the standard scale; and is specified as the fine or the maximum fine which may be imposed on conviction of an offence which is triable only summarily. to be appropriate to take account of an order made or proposed to be made altering the statutory maximum. Subsection (3) above applies to any sum which— is higher than the statutory maximum; and is specified as the maximum fine which may be imposed on summary conviction of an offence triable either on indictment or summarily. An order under this section— shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament; and shall not affect the punishment for an offence committed before that order comes into force. In this section “ enactment ” includes an enactment contained in an Act or subordinate instrument passed or made after the commencement of this Act. The Scottish Ministers may authorise persons (including classes of person) to act as fines enforcement officers for any or all of the purposes of this section and sections 226B to 226H of this Act. A FEO has the general functions of— providing information and advice to offenders as regards payment of relevant penalties; securing compliance of offenders with enforcement orders (including as varied under section 226C(1) of this Act). Where an offender is subject to two or more relevant penalties, a FEO— in exercising the function conferred by subsection (2)(b) above; in considering whether or not to vary an enforcement order under section 226C(1) of this Act, shall have regard to that fact and to the total amount which the offender is liable to pay in respect of them. Where an enforcement order as respects an offender has been made in a sheriff court district other than that in which the offender resides, a FEO for the district in which the offender resides may (whether or not those districts are in the same sheriffdom) take responsibility for exercising functions in relation to the order. A FEO taking responsibility for exercising functions by virtue of subsection (4) above is to notify that fact to— any FEO for the district in which the enforcement order was made. Notification under subsection (5)(b) above has the effect of transferring functions in relation to the enforcement order— from any FEO for the district in which the order was made; and to a FEO for the district in which the offender resides. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make further provision as to FEOs and their functions. Regulations under subsection (7) above are not made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the regulations has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the Scottish Parliament. When a court grants time to pay (or further time to pay) a relevant penalty (or an instalment of it) under section 214 or 215 of this Act, the court shall make an enforcement order under this subsection in relation to payment of the penalty. Despite subsection (1) above, a court need not make an enforcement order where it considers that it would not be appropriate to do so in the circumstances of the case. Where, by virtue of subsection (2) above, a court does not make an enforcement order under subsection (1) above, it may subsequently make an enforcement order under that subsection in relation to payment of the penalty. a person has accepted (or is deemed to have accepted)— a fixed penalty offer under section 302(1) of this Act; or a compensation offer under section 302A(1) of this Act; and payment (or payment of an instalment) has not been made as required by the offer, the relevant court may make an enforcement order under this subsection in relation to the payment due. a person is liable to pay— a fixed penalty notice given under section 54 (giving notices for fixed penalty offences), or section 62 (fixing notices to vehicles) of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53), which has been registered under section 71 of that Act; or by virtue of section 131(5) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 8), a fixed penalty notice given under section 129 (fixed penalty notices) of that Act; and payment (or payment of an instalment) has not been made as required by the penalty, Where there is transferred to a court in Scotland a fine— imposed by a court in England and Wales; and in relation to which a collection order (within the meaning of Part 4 of Schedule 5 to the Courts Act 2003 (c. 39)) has been made, the relevant court may make an enforcement order under this subsection in relation to payment of the fine. An enforcement order under subsection (4), (5) or (6) above may be made— on the oral or written application of the clerk of court; and without the offender being present. An enforcement order shall— state the amount of the relevant penalty; require payment of the relevant penalty in accordance with— such arrangements as to the amount of the instalments by which the relevant penalty should be paid and as to the intervals at which such instalments should be paid; such other arrangements, as the order may specify; provide contact details for the FEO dealing with the enforcement order; explain the effect of the enforcement order. Where a court makes (or is to make) an enforcement order in relation to a fine— a court may not impose imprisonment— under section 214(4) of this Act; or under section 219(1) of this Act, in respect of the fine; a court may not— allow further time for payment under subsection (9)(a) of section 214 of this Act; or make an order under subsection (9)(b) of that section, the offender may not make an application under section 215(1) of this Act in respect of the fine. Paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (9) above apply for so long as the enforcement order continues to have effect. An enforcement order ceases to have effect if— the relevant penalty is paid (including by application of any proceeds of enforcement action); or it is revoked under section 226G(9)(a) of this Act. A FEO dealing with an enforcement order may— on the application of the offender; and having regard to the circumstances of the offender, vary the arrangements specified in the order for payment of the relevant penalty. That is, by— allowing the offender further time to pay the penalty (or any instalment of it); allowing the offender to pay the penalty by instalments of such lesser amounts, or at such longer intervals, as those specified in the enforcement order. An application by an offender for the purpose of subsection (1) above may be made orally or in writing. A FEO shall notify the offender concerned of any— variation under subsection (1) above; refusal of an application for variation under that subsection. A FEO may, for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2) below, direct that a motor vehicle belonging to the offender be— immobilised; impounded. The purpose is of obtaining the amount of a relevant penalty which has not been paid in accordance with an enforcement order. a vehicle belongs to an offender if it is registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (c. 22) in the offender's name; a reference— to a vehicle being immobilised is to its being fitted with an immobilisation device in accordance with regulations made under subsection (12) below; to a vehicle being impounded is to its being taken to a place of custody in accordance with regulations made under that subsection; a direction under subsection (1) above is referred to as a “ seizure order ”. A FEO shall notify the offender concerned that a seizure order has been carried out. a seizure order has been carried out; and at the end of such period as may be specified in regulations made under subsection (12) below, any part of the relevant penalty remains unpaid, a FEO may apply to the relevant court for an order under subsection (6) below. The court may make an order under this subsection— for the sale or other disposal of the vehicle in accordance with regulations made under subsection (12) below; for any proceeds of the disposal to be applied in accordance with regulations made under that subsection in payment of or towards the unpaid amount of the relevant penalty; for any remainder of those proceeds to be applied in accordance with regulations made under that subsection in payment of or towards any reasonable expenses incurred by the FEO in relation to the seizure order; subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) above, for any balance to be given to the offender. Where, before a vehicle which is the subject of a seizure order is disposed of— a third party claims to own the vehicle; and a FEO is satisfied that the claim is valid (and that there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the claim is disputed by the offender or any other person from whose possession the vehicle was taken); or the sheriff, on an application by the third party, makes an order that the sheriff is so satisfied, the seizure order ceases to have effect. An application for the purposes of subsection (7)(b)(ii) above does not preclude any other proceedings for recovery of the vehicle. A person commits an offence if, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, the person removes or attempts to remove— an immobilisation device fitted; a notice fixed, to a motor vehicle in pursuance of a seizure order. A person guilty of an offence under subsection (9) above is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. A seizure order must not be made in respect of a vehicle— which displays a valid disabled person's badge; or in relation to which there are reasonable grounds for believing that it is used primarily for the carriage of a disabled person. The Scottish Ministers may make regulations for the purposes of and in connection with this section. Regulations under subsection (12) above may, in particular, include provision— as to circumstances in which a seizure order may (or may not) be made; as regards the value of a vehicle seizable compared to the amount of a relevant penalty which is unpaid; by reference to subsection (3)(a) and (7) above or otherwise, for protecting the interests of owners of vehicles apart from offenders; relating to subsections (3)(b), (5)(b) and (6) above; as to the fixing of notices to vehicles to which an immobilisation device has been fitted; as to the keeping and release of vehicles immobilised or impounded (including as to conditions of release); as to the payment of reasonable fees, charges or other costs in relation to— the immobilisation or impounding of vehicles; the keeping, release or disposal of vehicles immobilised or impounded. Regulations under subsection (12) above shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. “ disabled person's badge ” means a badge issued, or having effect as if issued, under regulations made under section 21 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 (c. 44); “ immobilisation device ” has the same meaning as in section 104(9) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27); “ motor vehicle ” means a mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for use on roads (except that section 189 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that Act). A FEO may, for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2) below, request the relevant court to make an application under regulations made under section 24(1)(a) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (c. 53) for deductions as described in that section. When a court makes an enforcement order, it shall grant a warrant for civil diligence in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. A warrant granted under subsection (1) above authorises a FEO to execute the types of diligence mentioned in subsection (3) below for the purpose mentioned in subsection (4) below. The types of diligence are— arrestment of earnings; and arrestment of funds standing in accounts held at any bank or other financial institution. The types of diligence mentioned in subsection (3) above may (whatever the amount of the relevant penalty concerned) be executed by an FEO in the same manner as if authorised by a warrant granted by the sheriff in a summary cause. However, the power of FEOs to execute the types of diligence mentioned in subsection (3) above is subject to such provision as the Scottish Ministers may by regulations make. Provision in regulations under subsection (6) above may, in particular— specify circumstances in which the types of diligence mentioned in subsection (3) above are (or are not) to be executed by a FEO; modify the application of any enactment (including subsection (5) above) or rule of law applying in relation to those types of diligence in so far as they may be executed by a FEO. Regulations under subsection (6) above shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. A FEO may refer an enforcement order to the relevant court where— the FEO believes that payment of a relevant penalty, or any remaining part of a relevant penalty, to which an enforcement order relates is unlikely to be obtained; for any other reason (including failure of the offender to co-operate with the FEO) the FEO considers it expedient to do so. A FEO may make a reference under subsection (1) above at any time from the day after the enforcement order is made. When making a reference under subsection (1) above, the FEO shall provide the court with a report on the circumstances of the case. A report under subsection (3) above shall include, in particular— a copy of any report from a supervising officer received by the FEO under section 217(9) of this Act; and information about— the steps taken by the enforcement officer to obtain payment of or towards the relevant penalty; and any effort (or lack of effort) made by the offender to make payment of or towards the penalty. Where a reference is made under subsection (1) above, the relevant court shall enquire of the offender as to the reason why the relevant penalty (or an instalment of it) has not been paid. Subsection (5) above does not apply where the offender is in prison. Subsections (3) to (7) of section 216 of this Act apply in relation to subsection (5) above as they apply in relation to subsection (1) of that section. After the court has considered— the report provided by the FEO under subsection (3) above; and any information obtained by enquiry under subsection (5) above, the court may dispose of the case as mentioned in subsection (9) below. That is, the court may— revoke the enforcement order and deal with the offender as if the enforcement order had never been made; vary the enforcement order; confirm the enforcement order as previously made; direct the FEO to take specified steps to secure payment of or towards the relevant penalty in accordance with the enforcement order (including as varied under paragraph (b) above); make such other order as it thinks fit. The offender may apply to the relevant court for review— in relation to an enforcement order— of any variation under section 226C(1) of this Act; of any refusal of an application for variation under that section; of the making of a seizure order under section 226D(1) of this Act. An application under subsection (1) above requires to be made within 7 days of notification under section 226C(4) of this Act or (as the case may be) section 226D(4) of this Act. On an application under subsection (1) above, the relevant court may— confirm, vary or quash the decision of the FEO; In this section and sections 226A to 226H of this Act— “ enforcement order ” is to be construed in accordance with section 226B(1) and (4) to (6) of this Act; “ FEO ” means a fines enforcement officer; “ offender ” means the person who is liable to pay a relevant penalty; “relevant court”— in the case of a fine or compensation order, means— the court which imposed the penalty; or where the penalty is transferred to another court, that other court; in the case of another relevant penalty (apart from a penalty specified by order for the purposes of this section), means— the court whose clerk is specified in the notice to the offender; or in the case of a penalty specified by order for the purposes of this section, means— the court whose clerk is specified in the notice to the offender; where the penalty is transferred to another court, that other court; or such other court as the order may specify for those purposes. “ relevant penalty ” means— a fine; a compensation order imposed under section 249 of this Act; a fixed penalty offer made under section 302(1) of this Act; a compensation offer made under section 302A(1) of this Act; a fixed penalty notice given under section 54 (giving notices for fixed penalty offences) or section 62 (fixing notices to vehicles) of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53); a fixed penalty notice given under section 129 (fixed penalty notices) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 8); such other penalty as the Scottish Ministers may by order specify for the purposes of this section. An order specifying a penalty or a court for the purpose of this section shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. Where a person is convicted on indictment of an offence (other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law) the court may, instead of or in addition to imposing a fine or a period of imprisonment, ordain the accused to find caution for good behaviour for a period not exceeding 12 months and to such amount as the court considers appropriate. Where a person (the “offender”) is convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment, the court may, instead of imposing a sentence of imprisonment, impose a community payback order on the offender. A community payback order is an order imposing one or more of the following requirements— an offender supervision requirement, a compensation requirement, an unpaid work or other activity requirement, a programme requirement, a residence requirement, a mental health treatment requirement, a drug treatment requirement, an alcohol treatment requirement, a conduct requirement. a restricted movement requirement. a person (the “offender”) is convicted of an offence punishable by a fine (whether or not it is also punishable by imprisonment), and where the offence is also punishable by imprisonment, the court decides not to impose— a sentence of imprisonment, or a community payback order under subsection (1) instead of a sentence of imprisonment. The court may, instead of or as well as imposing a fine, impose a community payback order on the offender imposing one or more of the following requirements— a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, A justice of the peace court may only impose a community payback order imposing one or more of the following requirements— Subsection (5)(c) is subject to section 227J(4). The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument amend subsection (5) so as to add to or omit requirements that may be imposed by a community payback order imposed by a justice of the peace court. An order is not to be made under subsection (7) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. In this section and sections 227B to 227ZK, except where the context requires otherwise— “ court ” means the High Court, the sheriff or a justice of the peace court, “ imprisonment ” includes detention. This section applies where a court is considering imposing a community payback order on an offender. The court must not impose the order unless it is of the opinion that the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, was serious enough to warrant the imposition of such an order. Before imposing a community payback order imposing two or more requirements, the court must consider whether, in the circumstances of the case, the requirements are compatible with each other.

The court must not impose the order unless it has obtained, and taken account of, a report from an officer of a local authority containing information about the offender and the offender's circumstances. An Act of Adjournal may prescribe— the form of a report under subsection (4), and the particular information to be contained in it. Subsection (4) does not apply where the court is considering imposing a community payback order— imposing only a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, or under section 227M(2). The clerk of the court must give a copy of any report obtained under subsection (4) to— Before imposing the order, the court must explain to the offender in ordinary language— the purpose and effect of each of the requirements to be imposed by the order, the consequences which may follow if the offender fails to comply with any of the requirements imposed by the order, and where the court proposes to include in the order provision under section 227X for it to be reviewed, the arrangements for such a review. The court must not impose the order unless the offender has, after the court has explained those matters, confirmed that the offender— understands those matters, and is willing to comply with each of the requirements to be imposed by the order. Subsection (9)(b) does not apply where the court is considering imposing a community payback order under section 227M(2). This section applies where a court imposes a community payback order on an offender. The court must, in imposing the order— specify the locality in which the offender resides or will reside for the duration of the order, require the local authority within whose area that locality is situated to nominate, within two days of its receiving a copy of the order, an officer of the authority as the responsible officer for the purposes of the order, require the offender to comply with any instructions given by the responsible officer— about keeping in touch with the responsible officer, or for the purposes of subsection (3), require the offender to report to the responsible officer in accordance with instructions given by that officer, require the offender to notify the responsible officer without delay of— any change of the offender's address, and the times, if any, at which the offender usually works (or carries out voluntary work) or attends school or any other educational establishment, and where the order imposes an unpaid work or other activity requirement, require the offender to undertake for the number of hours specified in the requirement such work or activity as the responsible officer may instruct, and at such times as may be so instructed. The responsible officer is responsible for— making any arrangements necessary to enable the offender to comply with each of the requirements imposed by the order, promoting compliance with those requirements by the offender, taking such steps as may be necessary to enforce compliance with the requirements of the order or to vary, revoke or discharge the order. References in this Act to the responsible officer are, in relation to an offender on whom a community payback order has been imposed, the officer for the time being nominated in pursuance of subsection (2)(b). In reckoning the period of two days for the purposes of subsection (2)(b), no account is to be taken of a Saturday or Sunday or any day which is a local or public holiday in the area of the local authority concerned. Where a community payback order is imposed on an offender, the order is to be taken for all purposes to be a sentence imposed on the offender. On imposing a community payback order, the court must state in open court the reasons for imposing the order. The imposition by a court of a community payback order on an offender does not prevent the court imposing a fine or any other sentence (other than imprisonment), or making any other order, that it would be entitled to impose or make in respect of the offence. Where a court imposes a community payback order on an offender, the clerk of the court must ensure that— a copy of the order is given to— the offender, and the local authority within whose area the offender resides or will reside, and a copy of the order and such other documents and information relating to the case as may be useful are given to the clerk of the appropriate court (unless the court imposing the order is that court). A copy of the order may be given to the offender— by being delivered personally to the offender, or by being sent— by a registered post service (as defined in section 125(1) of the Postal Services Act 2000 (c.26)), or by a postal service which provides for the delivery of the document to be recorded. A community payback order is to be in such form, or as nearly as may be in such form, as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. In imposing a community payback order on an offender, the court must ensure, so far as practicable, that any requirement imposed by the order avoids— a conflict with the offender's religious beliefs, interference with the times, if any, at which the offender normally works (or carries out voluntary work) or attends school or any other educational establishment. The responsible officer must ensure, so far as practicable, that any instruction given to the offender avoids such a conflict or interference. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument provide for the payment to offenders of travelling or other expenses in connection with their compliance with requirements imposed on them by community payback orders. An order under subsection (1) may— specify expenses or provide for them to be determined under the order, provide for the payments to be made by or on behalf of local authorities, make different provision for different purposes. An order under subsection (1) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. In this Act, an “offender supervision requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that, during the specified period, the offender must attend appointments with the responsible officer or another person determined by the responsible officer, at such time and place as may be determined by the responsible officer, for the purpose of promoting the offender's rehabilitation. On imposing a community payback order, the court must impose an offender supervision requirement if— the offender is under 18 years of age at the time the order is imposed, or the court, in the order, imposes— a mental health treatment requirement, an alcohol treatment requirement, ... a conduct requirement, or The specified period must be at least 6 months and not more than 3 years. Subsection (3) is subject to subsections (4A) and (5). Where an offender supervision requirement is imposed because of the imposition of a restricted movement requirement— the minimum period in subsection (3) does not apply, the court must ensure that the specified period does not expire before the expiry of the period during which the restricted movement requirement has effect by virtue of section 227ZF(5)(b). In the case of an offender supervision requirement imposed on a person aged 16 or 17 along with only a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, the specified period must be no more than whichever is the greater of— the specified period under section 227L in relation to the level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, and 3 months. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to an offender supervision requirement, means specified in the requirement. In this Act, a “compensation requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must pay compensation for any relevant matter in favour of a relevant person. In subsection (1)— “ relevant matter ” means any personal injury, loss, damage or other matter in respect of which a compensation order could be made against the offender under section 249 of this Act, and “ relevant person ” means a person in whose favour the compensation could be awarded by such a compensation order. A compensation requirement may require the compensation to be paid in a lump sum or in instalments. The offender must complete payment of the compensation before the earlier of the following— the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day on which the compensation requirement is imposed, the beginning of the period of 2 months ending with the day on which the offender supervision requirement imposed under section 227G(2) ends. The following provisions of this Act apply in relation to a compensation requirement as they apply in relation to a compensation order, and as if the references in them to a compensation order included a compensation requirement— section 249(3), (4), (5) and (8) to (10), section 250(2), section 251(1), (1A) and (2)(b), ... section 253. section 253C, section 253D, and section 253H. In this Act, an “unpaid work or other activity requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must, for the specified number of hours, undertake— unpaid work, or unpaid work and other activity. Whether the offender must undertake other activity as well as unpaid work is for the responsible officer to determine. The nature of the unpaid work and any other activity to be undertaken by the offender is to be determined by the responsible officer. The number of hours that may be specified in the requirement must be (in total)— at least 20 hours, and not more than 300 hours. An unpaid work or other activity requirement which requires the work or activity to be undertaken for a number of hours totalling no more than 100 is referred to in this Act as a “level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement”. An unpaid work or other activity requirement which requires the work or activity to be undertaken for a number of hours totalling more than 100 is referred to in this Act as a “level 2 unpaid work or other activity requirement”. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument substitute another number of hours for any of the numbers of hours for the time being specified in subsections (4) to (6). An order under subsection (7) may only substitute for the number of hours for the time being specified in a provision mentioned in the first column of the following table a number of hours falling within the range set out in the corresponding entry in the second column. An order under subsection (7) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to an unpaid work or other activity requirement, means specified in the requirement. A court may not impose an unpaid work or other activity requirement on an offender who is under 16 years of age. A court may impose such a requirement on an offender only if the court is satisfied, after considering the report mentioned in section 227B(4), that the offender is a suitable person to undertake unpaid work in pursuance of the requirement. Subsection (2) does not apply where the court is considering imposing a community payback order— A justice of the peace court may impose a level 2 unpaid work or other activity requirement only if— the Scottish Ministers by regulations made by statutory instrument so provide, and the requirement is imposed in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as may be specified in the regulations. Regulations are not to be made under subsection (4) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. Subject to subsection (2), it is for the responsible officer to determine how many out of the number of hours specified in an unpaid work or other activity requirement are to be allocated to undertaking, respectively— unpaid work, and any other activity to be undertaken. The number of hours allocated to undertaking an activity other than unpaid work must not exceed whichever is the lower of— 30% of the number of hours specified in the requirement, and 30 hours. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument— substitute another percentage for the percentage for the time being specified in subsection (2)(a), substitute another number of hours for the number of hours for the time being specified in subsection (2)(b). An order is not to be made under subsection (3) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. The number of hours of unpaid work and any other activity that the offender is required to undertake in pursuance of an unpaid work or other activity requirement must be completed by the offender before the end of the specified period beginning with the imposition of the requirement. The “specified period” is— in relation to a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, 3 months or such longer period as the court may specify in the requirement, in relation to a level 2 unpaid work or other activity requirement, 6 months or such longer period as the court may specify in the requirement. a fine has been imposed on an offender in respect of an offence, the offender fails to pay the fine or an instalment of the fine, the offender is not serving a sentence of imprisonment, and apart from this section, the court would have imposed a period of imprisonment on the offender under section 219(1) of this Act in respect of the failure to pay the fine or instalment. Instead of imposing a period of imprisonment under section 219(1) of this Act, the court— where the amount of the fine or the instalment does not exceed level 2 on the standard scale, must impose a community payback order on the offender imposing a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, where the amount of the fine or the instalment exceeds that level, may impose such a community payback order. The court, in imposing a community payback order under subsection (2) on a person aged 16 or 17, must also impose an offender supervision requirement. Where the amount of the fine or the instalment does not exceed level 1 on the standard scale, the number of hours specified in the requirement must not exceed 50. On completion of the hours of unpaid work and any other activity specified in an unpaid work or other activity requirement imposed under this section, the fine in respect of which the requirement was imposed is discharged (or, as the case may be, the outstanding instalments of the fine are discharged). If, after a community payback order is imposed on an offender under this section, the offender pays the fine or the full amount of any outstanding instalments, the appropriate court must discharge the order. Subsection (2) is subject to sections 227J(1) and 227N(2), (3) and (7). In this section, “ court ” does not include the High Court. a court is considering imposing an unpaid work or other activity requirement on an offender (referred to as the “ new requirement ”), and at the time the court is considering imposing the requirement, there is already in effect one or more of the following orders— a community payback order imposing such a requirement on the same offender; a community service order under this Act in relation to the same offender; a probation order under this Act imposing an unpaid work requirement on the same offender; a supervised attendance order under this Act in relation to the same offender. In this section references to an “existing requirement” are— in relation to a community payback order, to the unpaid work or other activity requirement imposed on the offender by the order; in relation to a community service order or a probation order, to the unpaid work requirement imposed on the offender by the order; in relation to a supervised attendance order, to the requirement imposed on the offender by the order by virtue of section235(2) of this Act. The court may, in imposing the new requirement, direct that it is to be concurrent with any existing requirement. Where the court makes a direction under subsection (2), hours of unpaid work or other activity undertaken after the new requirement is imposed count for the purposes of compliance with that requirement and the existing requirement. Subsection (5) applies where the court does not make a direction under subsection (2). The maximum number of hours which may be specified in the new requirement is the number of hours specified in section 227I(4)(b) less the aggregate of the number of hours ... still to be completed under each existing requirement at the time the new requirement is imposed. In calculating that aggregate, if any existing requirement is concurrent with another (by virtue of a direction under subsection (2)), hours that count for the purposes of compliance with both (or, as the case may be, all) are to be counted only once. Where that maximum number is less than the minimum number of hours that can be specified by virtue of section 227I(4)(a), the court must not impose the new requirement. The Scottish Ministers may make rules by statutory instrument for or in connection with the undertaking of unpaid work and other activities in pursuance of unpaid work or other activity requirements. Rules under subsection (1) may in particular make provision for— limiting the number of hours of work or other activity that an offender may be required to undertake in any one day, reckoning the time spent undertaking unpaid work or other activity, the keeping of records of unpaid work and any other activity undertaken. Rules under subsection (1) may— confer functions on responsible officers, contain rules about the way responsible officers are to exercise functions under this Act. Rules under subsection (1) are subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. In this Act, a “programme requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must participate in a specified programme, at the specified place and on the specified number of days. In this section, “ programme ” means a course or other planned set of activities, taking place over a period of time, and provided to individuals or groups of individuals for the purpose of addressing offending behavioural needs. A court may impose a programme requirement on an offender only if the specified programme is one which has been recommended by an officer of a local authority as being suitable for the offender to participate in. If an offender's compliance with a proposed programme requirement would involve the co-operation of a person other than the offender, the court may impose the requirement only if the other person consents. A court may not impose a programme requirement that would require an offender to participate in a specified programme after the expiry of the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the programme requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)). Where the court imposes a programme requirement on an offender, the requirement is to be taken to include a requirement that the offender, while attending the specified programme, complies with any instructions given by or on behalf of the person in charge of the programme. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a programme requirement, means specified in the requirement. In this Act, a “residence requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that, during the specified period, the offender must reside at a specified place. The court may, in a residence requirement, require an offender to reside at a hostel or other institution only if the hostel or institution has been recommended as a suitable place for the offender to reside in by an officer of a local authority. The specified period must not be longer than the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the residence requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)). In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a residence requirement, means specified in the requirement. In this Act, a “mental health treatment requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must submit, during the specified period, to treatment by or under the direction of a registered medical practitioner or a registered psychologist (or both) with a view to improving the offender's mental condition. The treatment to which an offender may be required to submit under a mental health treatment requirement is such of the kinds of treatment described in subsection (3) as is specified; but otherwise the nature of the treatment is not to be specified. Those kinds of treatment are— treatment as a resident patient in a hospital (other than a State hospital) within the meaning of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13) (“ the 2003 Act ”), treatment as a non-resident patient at such institution or other place as may be specified, or treatment by or under the direction of such registered medical practitioner or registered psychologist as may be specified. A court may impose a mental health treatment requirement on an offender only if the court is satisfied— on the written or oral evidence of an approved medical practitioner (within the meaning of the 2003 Act), that Condition A is met, on the written or oral evidence of the registered medical practitioner or registered psychologist by whom or under whose direction the treatment is to be provided, that Condition B is met, and that Condition C is met. Condition A is that— the offender suffers from a mental condition, the condition requires, and may be susceptible to, treatment, and the condition is not such as to warrant the offender's being subject to— a compulsory treatment order under section 64 of the 2003 Act, or a compulsion order under section 57A of this Act. Condition B is that the treatment proposed to be specified is appropriate for the offender. Condition C is that arrangements have been made for the proposed treatment including, where the treatment is to be of the kind mentioned in subsection (3)(a), arrangements for the offender's reception in the hospital proposed to be specified in the requirement. The specified period must not be longer than the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the mental health treatment requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)). In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a mental health treatment requirement, means specified in the requirement. For the purposes of section 227R(4)(a) or (b), a written report purporting to be signed by an approved medical practitioner (within the meaning of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13)) may be received in evidence without the need for proof of the signature or qualifications of the practitioner. Where such a report is lodged in evidence otherwise than by or on behalf of the offender, a copy of the report must be given to— the offender's solicitor (if any). The court may adjourn the case if it considers it necessary to do so to give the offender further time to consider the report. Subsection (5) applies where the offender is— detained in a hospital under this Act, or remanded in custody. For the purpose of calling evidence to rebut any evidence contained in a report lodged as mentioned in subsection (2), arrangements may be made by or on behalf of the offender for an examination of the offender by a registered medical practitioner. Such an examination is to be carried out in private. a mental health treatment requirement has been imposed on an offender, and the registered medical practitioner or registered psychologist by whom or under whose direction the offender is receiving the treatment to which the offender is required to submit in pursuance of the requirement is of the opinion mentioned in subsection (2). That opinion is— that the offender requires, or that it would be appropriate for the offender to receive, a different kind of treatment (whether in whole or in part) from that which the offender has been receiving, or that the treatment (whether in whole or in part) can be more appropriately given in or at a different hospital or other institution or place from that where the offender has been receiving treatment. The practitioner or, as the case may be, psychologist may make arrangements for the offender to be treated accordingly. Subject to subsection (5), the treatment provided under the arrangements must be of a kind which could have been specified in the mental health treatment requirement. The arrangements may provide for the offender to receive treatment (in whole or in part) as a resident patient in an institution or place even though it is one that could not have been specified for that purpose in the mental health treatment requirement. Arrangements may be made under subsection (3) only if— the offender and the responsible officer agree to the arrangements, the treatment will be given by or under the direction of a registered medical practitioner or registered psychologist who has agreed to accept the offender as a patient, and where the treatment requires the offender to be a resident patient, the offender will be received as such. Where arrangements are made under subsection (3)— the responsible officer must notify the court of the arrangements, and the treatment provided under the arrangements is to be taken to be treatment to which the offender is required to submit under the mental health treatment requirement. In this Act, a “drug treatment requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must submit, during the specified period, to treatment by or under the direction of a specified person with a view to reducing or eliminating the offender's dependency on, or propensity to misuse, drugs. The treatment to which an offender may be required to submit under a drug treatment requirement is such of the kinds of treatment described in subsection (3) as is specified (but otherwise the nature of the treatment is not to be specified). treatment as a resident in such institution or other place as is specified, treatment as a non-resident at such institution or other place, and at such intervals, as is specified. The specified person must be a person who has the necessary qualifications or experience in relation to the treatment to be provided. The specified period must not be longer than the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the drug treatment requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)). A court may impose a drug treatment requirement on an offender only if the court is satisfied that— the offender is dependent on, or has a propensity to misuse, any controlled drug (as defined in section 2(1)(a) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c.38)), the dependency or propensity requires, and may be susceptible to, treatment, and arrangements have been, or can be, made for the proposed treatment including, where the treatment is to be of the kind mentioned in subsection (3)(a), arrangements for the offender's reception in the institution or other place to be specified. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a drug treatment requirement, means specified in the requirement. In this Act, an “alcohol treatment requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must submit, during the specified period, to treatment by or under the direction of a specified person with a view to the reduction or elimination of the offender's dependency on alcohol. The treatment to which an offender may be required to submit under an alcohol treatment requirement is such of the kinds of treatment described in subsection (3) as is specified (but otherwise the nature of the treatment is not to be specified). treatment as a non-resident at such institution or other place, and at such intervals, as is specified, treatment by or under the direction of such person as is specified. The person specified under subsection (1) or (3)(c) must be a person who has the necessary qualifications or experience in relation to the treatment to be provided. The specified period must not be longer than the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the alcohol treatment requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)). A court may impose an alcohol treatment requirement on an offender only if the court is satisfied that— the offender is dependent on alcohol, the dependency requires, and may be susceptible to, treatment, and arrangements have been, or can be, made for the proposed treatment, including, where the treatment is to be of the kind mentioned in subsection (3)(a), arrangements for the offender's reception in the institution or other place to be specified. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to an alcohol treatment requirement, means specified in the requirement. In this Act, a “conduct requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement that the offender must, during the specified period, do or refrain from doing specified things. A court may impose a conduct requirement on an offender only if the court is satisfied that the requirement is necessary with a view to— securing or promoting good behaviour by the offender, or preventing further offending by the offender. The specified period must be not more than 3 years. The specified things must not include anything that— could be required by imposing one of the other requirements listed in section 227A(2), or would be inconsistent with the provisions of this Act relating to such other requirements. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a conduct requirement, means specified in the requirement. On imposing a community payback order on an offender, the court may include in the order provision for the order to be reviewed at such time or times as may be specified in the order. A review carried out in pursuance of such provision is referred to in this section as a “ progress review ”. A progress review may be carried out by the court which imposed the community payback order or (if different) the appropriate court, and, where those courts are different, the court must specify in the order which of those courts is to carry out the reviews. A progress review is to be carried out in such manner as the court carrying out the review may determine. Before each progress review, the responsible officer must give the court a written report on the offender's compliance with the requirements imposed by the community payback order in the period to which the review relates. The offender must attend each progress review. If the offender fails to attend a progress review, the court may— issue a citation requiring the offender's attendance, or issue a warrant for the offender's arrest. The unified citation provisions apply in relation to a citation under subsection (7)(a) as they apply in relation to a citation under section 216(3)(a) of this Act. Subsections (10) and (11) apply where, in the course of carrying out a progress review in respect of a community payback order, it appears to the court that the offender has failed to comply with a requirement imposed by the order. The court must— provide the offender with written details of the alleged failure, inform the offender that the offender is entitled to be legally represented, and inform the offender that no answer need be given to the allegation before the offender— has been given an opportunity to take legal advice, or has indicated that the offender does not wish to take legal advice. The court must then— if it is the appropriate court, appoint another hearing for consideration of the alleged failure in accordance with section 227ZC, or if it is not the appropriate court, refer the alleged failure to that court for consideration in accordance with that section. On conclusion of a progress review in respect of a community payback order, the court may vary, revoke or discharge the order in accordance with section 227Z. The appropriate court may, on the application of either of the persons mentioned in subsection (2), vary, revoke or discharge a community payback order in accordance with section 227Z. the offender on whom the order was imposed, the responsible officer in relation to the offender. This section applies where a court is considering varying, revoking or discharging a community payback order imposed on an offender. The court may vary, revoke or discharge the order only if satisfied that it is in the interests of justice to do so having regard to circumstances which have arisen since the order was imposed. Subsection (2) does not apply where the court is considering varying the order under section 227ZC(7)(d). In varying an order, the court may, in particular— add to the requirements imposed by the order, revoke or discharge any requirement imposed by the order, vary any requirement imposed by the order, include provision for progress reviews under section 227X, where the order already includes such provision, vary that provision. In varying a requirement imposed by the order, the court may, in particular— extend or shorten any period or other time limit specified in the requirement, in the case of an unpaid work or other activity requirement, increase or decrease the number of hours specified in the requirement, in the case of a compensation requirement, vary the amount of compensation or any instalment. The court may not, under subsection (5)(b), increase the number of hours beyond the appropriate maximum. The appropriate maximum is the number of hours specified in section 227I(4)(b) at the time the unpaid work or other activity requirement being varied was imposed less the aggregate of the number of hours of unpaid work or other activity still to be completed under each other unpaid work or other activity requirement (if any) in effect in respect of the offender at the time of the variation (a “current requirement”). In calculating that aggregate, if any current requirement is concurrent with another (by virtue of a direction under section 227N(2)), hours that count for the purposes of compliance with both (or, as the case may be, all) are to be counted only once. The court may not, under subsection (5)(c), increase the amount of compensation beyond the maximum that could have been awarded at the time the requirement was imposed. Where the court varies a restricted movement requirement imposed by a community payback order, the court must give a copy of the order making the variation to the person responsible for monitoring the offender's compliance with the requirement. Where the court revokes a community payback order, the court may deal with the offender in respect of the offence in relation to which the order was imposed as it could have dealt with the offender had the order not been imposed. Subsection (11) applies in relation to a community payback order imposed under section 227M(2) as if the reference to the offence in relation to which the order was imposed were a reference to the failure to pay in respect of which the order was imposed. Where the court is considering varying, revoking or discharging the order otherwise than on the application of the offender, the court must issue a citation to the offender requiring the offender to appear before the court (except where the offender is required to appear by section 227X(6)) or 227ZC(2)(b). If the offender fails to appear as required by the citation, the court may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender. The unified citation provisions apply in relation to a citation under subsection (13) as they apply in relation to a citation under section 216(3)(a) of this Act. This section applies where a court is considering varying a community payback order imposed on an offender. The court must not make the variation unless it has obtained, and taken account of, a report from the responsible officer containing information about the offender and the offender's circumstances. the form of a report under subsection (2), and Subsection (2) does not apply where the court is considering varying a community payback order— so that it imposes only a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement, or imposed under section 227M(2). The clerk of the court must give a copy of any report obtained under subsection (2) to— Before making the variation, the court must explain to the offender in ordinary language— the purpose and effect of each of the requirements to be imposed by the order as proposed to be varied, the consequences which may follow if the offender fails to comply with any of the requirements imposed by the order as proposed to be varied, and where the court proposes to include in the order as proposed to be varied provision for a progress review under section 227X, or to vary any such provision already included in the order, the arrangements for such a review. The court must not make the variation unless the offender has, after the court has explained those matters, confirmed that the offender— is willing to comply with each of the requirements to be imposed by the order as proposed to be amended. Where the variation would impose a new requirement— the court must not make the variation if the new requirement is not a requirement that could have been imposed by the order when it was imposed, if the new requirement is one which could have been so imposed, the court must, before making the variation take whatever steps the court would have been required to take before imposing the requirement had it been imposed by the order when it was imposed. Subsection (8)(a) does not prevent the imposition of a restricted movement requirement under section 227ZC(7)(d). In determining for the purpose of subsection (8)(a) whether an unpaid work or other activity requirement is a requirement that could have been imposed by the order when the order was imposed, the effect of section 227N(7) is to be ignored. Where the variation would vary any requirement imposed by the order, the court must not make the variation if the requirement as proposed to be varied could not have been imposed, or imposed in that way, by the order when it was imposed. Subsections (4) and (5) of section 227D apply, with the necessary modifications, where a community payback order is varied as they apply where such an order is imposed. The section applies where— the offender on whom a community payback order has been imposed proposes to change, or has changed, residence to a locality (“the new locality”) situated in the area of a different local authority from that in which the locality currently specified in the order is situated, and the court is considering varying the order so as to specify the new local authority area in which the offender resides or will reside. The court may vary the order only if satisfied that arrangements have been, or can be, made in the local authority area in which the new locality is situated for the offender to comply with the requirements imposed by the order. If the court considers that a requirement (“the requirement concerned”) imposed by the order cannot be complied with if the offender resides in the new locality, the court must not vary the order so as to specify the new local authority area unless it also varies the order so as to— revoke or discharge the requirement concerned, or substitute for the requirement concerned another requirement that can be so complied with. Where the court varies the order, the court must also vary the order so as to require the local authority for the area in which the new locality is situated to nominate an officer of the authority to be the responsible officer for the purposes of the order. This section applies where it appears to the appropriate court that an offender on whom a community payback order has been imposed has failed to comply with a requirement imposed by the order. The court may— issue a warrant for the offender's arrest, or issue a citation to the offender requiring the offender to appear before the court. If the offender fails to appear as required by a citation issued under subsection (2)(b), the court may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender. The unified citation provisions apply in relation to a citation under subsection (2)(b) as they apply in relation to a citation under section 216(3)(a) of this Act. The court must, before considering the alleged failure— Subsection (5) does not apply if the offender has previously been provided with those details and informed about those matters under section 227X(10) of this Act. Where the order was imposed under section 227A, if the court is satisfied that the offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with a requirement imposed by the order, the court may— impose on the offender a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale, where the order was imposed under section 227A(1), revoke the order and deal with the offender in respect of the offence in relation to which the order was imposed as it could have dealt with the offender had the order not been imposed, where the order was imposed under section 227A(4), revoke the order and impose on the offender a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding— where the court is a justice of the peace court, 60 days, in any other case, 3 months, vary the order so as to impose a new requirement, vary any requirement imposed by the order or revoke or discharge any requirement imposed by the order, or both impose a fine under paragraph (a) and vary the order under paragraph (d). Where the order was imposed under section 227M(2), if the court is satisfied that the offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with a requirement imposed by the order, the court may— revoke the order and impose on the offender a period of imprisonment for a term not exceeding— in any other case, 3 months, or vary— the number of hours specified in the level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement imposed by the order, and where the order also imposes an offender supervision requirement, the specified period under section 227G in relation to the requirement. Where the court revokes a community payback order under subsection (7)(b) or (c) and the offender is, in respect of the same offence, also subject to— a drug treatment and testing order, by virtue of section 234J, or a restriction of liberty order, by virtue of section 245D(3), the court must, before dealing with the offender under subsection (7)(b) or (c), revoke the drug treatment and testing order or, as the case may be, restriction of liberty order. Where under subsection(8)(a) the court revokes the order and imposes on the offender a period of imprisonment, liability to pay the fine in respect of which the order was imposed (or, as the case may be, any instalments of the fine that are unpaid on the date that the period of imprisonment is imposed) is discharged. If the court is satisfied that the offender has failed to comply with a requirement imposed by the order but had a reasonable excuse for the failure, the court may, subject to section 227Z(2), vary the order so as to impose a new requirement, vary any requirement imposed by the order or revoke or discharge any requirement imposed by the order. Subsections (7)(b) and (c) and (9) are subject to section 42(9) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7) (powers of drugs courts to deal with breach of community payback orders). Evidence of one witness is sufficient for the purpose of establishing that an offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with a requirement imposed by a community payback order. Subsection (3) applies in relation to a community payback order imposing a compensation requirement. A document bearing to be a certificate signed by the clerk of the appropriate court and stating that the compensation, or an instalment of the compensation, has not been paid as required by the requirement is sufficient evidence that the offender has failed to comply with the requirement. The appropriate court may, for the purpose of considering whether an offender has failed to comply with a requirement imposed by a community payback order, require the responsible officer to provide a report on the offender's compliance with the requirement. Despite the generality of sections 227Z(2) and 227ZC(7)(d) for variation of a community payback order— a restricted movement requirement put or kept in the order must be accompanied in the order by an offender supervision requirement, and the court must ensure that the offender supervision requirement does not cease to have effect before the restricted movement requirement ceases to have effect. Where the court makes or varies a community payback order so as to impose a restricted movement requirement, the court must give a copy of the order imposing the requirement to the person responsible for monitoring the offender's compliance with the requirement. If during the period for which the restricted movement requirement is in effect it appears to the person responsible for monitoring the offender's compliance with the requirement that the offender has failed to comply with the requirement, the person must report the matter to the offender's responsible officer. On receiving a report under subsection (6), the responsible officer must report the matter to the court. In this Act, a “restricted movement requirement” is, in relation to an offender, a requirement restricting the offender's movements to such extent as is specified. A restricted movement requirement may in particular require the offender— to be in a specified place at a specified time or during specified periods, or not to be in a specified place, or a specified class of place, at a specified time or during specified periods. In imposing a restricted movement requirement containing provision under subsection (2)(a), the court must ensure that the offender is not required, either by the requirement alone or the requirement taken together with any other relevant requirement or order, to be at any place for periods totalling more than 12 hours in any one day. In subsection (3), “ other relevant requirement or order ” means— any other restricted movement requirement in effect in respect of the offender at the time the court is imposing the requirement referred to in subsection (3), and any restriction of liberty order under section 245A in effect in respect of the offender at that time. A restricted movement requirement— takes effect from the specified day, and has effect for such period as is specified. The period specified under subsection (5)(b) must be— not less than 14 days, and subject to subsections (7) and (8), not more than 12 months. Subsection (8) applies as follows in relation to a community payback order— in the case of any restricted movement requirement imposed by the order, where the offender was under 18 years of age at the time the order was imposed, or in the case of a restricted movement requirement imposed under section 227ZC(7)(d), where the only requirement (apart from the restricted movement requirement) imposed by the order is a level 1 unpaid work or other activity requirement. The period specified under subsection (5)(b) must be not more than— where the order was imposed by a justice of the peace court, 60 days, or in any other case, 3 months. A court imposing a restricted movement requirement must specify in it— the method by which the offender's compliance with the requirement is to be monitored, and the person who is to be responsible for monitoring that compliance.

The Scottish Ministers may by regulations made by statutory instrument substitute— for the number of hours for the time being specified in subsection (3) another number of hours, for the number of months for the time being specified in subsection (6)(b) another number of months. Regulations are not to be made under subsection (10) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the regulations has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. In this section, “ specified ”, in relation to a restricted movement requirement, means specified in the requirement. A court may not impose a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be, or not to be, in a specified place unless it is satisfied that the offender's compliance with the requirement can be monitored by the method specified in the requirement. Before imposing a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be in a specified place, the appropriate court must obtain and consider a written report by an officer of the local authority in whose area the place is situated on— the place, and the suitability of the place (particularly with a view to maximising the prospect of the offender's compliance with the requirement and minimising the risk of reoffending by the offender), the attitude of any person (other than the offender) likely to be affected by the enforced presence of the offender at the place. The court may, before imposing the requirement, hear the officer who prepared the report. a community payback order which is in force in respect of an offender imposes a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be at a particular place specified in the requirement for any period, and the court is considering varying the requirement so as to require the offender to be at a different place (“the new place”). Before making the variation, the appropriate court must obtain and consider a written report by an officer of the local authority in whose area the new place is situated on— the new place, and the suitability of the new place (particularly with a view to maximising the prospect of the offender's compliance with the requirement and minimising the risk of reoffending by the offender), the attitude of any person (other than the offender) likely to be affected by the enforced presence of the offender at the new place. The court may, before making the variation, hear the officer who prepared the report. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations made by statutory instrument prescribe— which courts, or class or classes of courts, may impose restricted movement requirements, the method or methods of monitoring compliance with a restricted movement requirement which may be specified in such a requirement, the class or classes of offender on whom such a requirement may be imposed. Regulations under subsection (1) may make different provision about the matters mentioned in paragraphs (b) and (c) of that subsection in relation to different courts or classes of court. Regulations under subsection (1) are subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Ministers must determine the person, or class or description of person, who may be specified in a restricted movement requirement as the person to be responsible for monitoring the offender's compliance with the requirement (referred to in this section as the “monitor”). The Scottish Ministers may determine different persons, or different classes or descriptions of person, in relation to different methods of monitoring. The Scottish Ministers must notify each court having power to impose a restricted movement requirement of their determination. Subsection (8) applies where— the Scottish Ministers make a determination under subsection (4) changing a previous determination made by them, and a person specified in a restricted movement requirement in effect at the date the determination takes effect as the monitor is not a person, or is not of a class or description of person, mentioned in the determination as changed. The appropriate court must— vary the restricted movement requirement so as to specify a different person as the monitor, send a copy of the requirement as varied to that person and to the responsible officer, and notify the offender of the variation. Each local authority must, for each year, consult prescribed persons about the nature of unpaid work and other activities to be undertaken by offenders residing in the local authority's area on whom community payback orders are imposed. In subsection (1), “ prescribed persons ” means such persons, or class or classes of person, as may be prescribed by the Scottish Ministers by regulations made by statutory instrument. A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (2) is to be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. Each local authority must, as soon as practicable after the end of each reporting year, prepare a report on the operation of community payback orders within their area during that reporting year, and send a copy of the report to Community Justice Scotland. The Scottish Ministers may issue directions to local authorities about the content of their reports under subsection (1); and local authorities must comply with any such directions. Community Justice Scotland must, in relation to each reporting year, lay before the Scottish Parliament and publish a report that collates and summarises the data included in the various reports under subsection (1). A report under subsection (3) must be laid before the Parliament, and published, together with, or as part of, the corresponding report under section 27 of the Community Justice (Scotland) Act 2016. The reference in subsection (3A) to the corresponding report under section 27 of the Community Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 is, in relation to a report under subsection (3) for a particular reporting year, a reference to the report under that section which requires to be published as soon as reasonably practicable after that 31 March. In this section, “reporting year” means a year ending with 31 March. In sections 227A to 227ZK, “ the appropriate court ” means, in relation to a community payback order— where the order was imposed by the High Court of Justiciary, that Court, where the order was imposed by a sheriff, a sheriff having jurisdiction in the locality mentioned in subsection (2), where the order was imposed by a justice of the peace court— the justice of the peace court having jurisdiction in that locality, or if there is no justice of the peace court having jurisdiction in that locality, a sheriff having such jurisdiction. The locality referred to in subsection (1) is the locality for the time being specified in the community payback order under section 227C(2)(a). Schedule 13 to this Act, which makes provision for the transfer of community payback orders to England and Wales or Northern Ireland, has effect. This section applies where a person is— convicted of an offence involving misconduct towards another person (“the victim”), acquitted of such an offence by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A, or found by a court to be unfit for trial under section 53F in respect of such an offence and the court determines that the person has done the act or made the omission constituting the offence. The prosecutor may apply to the court to make (instead of or in addition to dealing with the person in any other way) a non-harassment order against the person. A non-harassment order is an order requiring the person to refrain, for such period (including an indeterminate period) as may be specified in the order, from such conduct in relation to the victim as may be specified in the order. On an application under subsection (1A) above the court may, if it is satisfied on a balance of probabilities that it is appropriate to do so in order to protect the victim from harassment (or further harassment), make a non-harassment order. The court may, for the purpose of subsection (2) above, have regard to any information given to it for that purpose by the prosecutor— about any other offence involving misconduct towards the victim— of which the person against whom the order is sought has been convicted, or as regards which the person against whom the order is sought has accepted (or has been deemed to have accepted) a fixed penalty or compensation offer under section 302(1) or 302A(1) or as regards which a work order has been made under section 303ZA(6), in particular, by way of— an extract of the conviction along with a copy of the complaint or indictment containing the charge to which the conviction relates, or a note of the terms of the charge to which the fixed penalty offer, compensation offer or work order relates. But the court may do so only if the court may, under section 101 or 101A (in a solemn case) or section 166 or 166A (in a summary case), have regard to the conviction or the offer or order. The court may, for the purpose of subsection (2) above, have regard to any information given to it for that purpose by the prosecutor about any other offence involving misconduct towards the victim— in respect of which the person against whom the order is sought was acquitted by reason of the special defence set out in section 51A, or in respect of which the person against whom the order is sought was found by a court to be unfit for trial under section 53F and the court determined that the person had done the act or made the omission constituting the offence. The court must give the person against whom the order is sought an opportunity to make representations in response to the application. A non-harassment order made by a criminal court may be appealed against— if the order was made in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above, as if the order were a sentence, if the order was made in a case falling within subsection (1)(b) or (c) above, as if the person had been convicted of the offence concerned and the order were a sentence passed on the person for the offence. A variation or revocation of a non-harassment order made under subsection (6) below may be appealed against— if the order was made in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above, as if the variation or revocation were a sentence, if the order was made in a case falling within subsection (1)(b) or (c) above, as if the person had been convicted of the offence concerned and the variation or revocation were a sentence passed on the person for the offence. Any person who is . . . in breach of a non-harassment order shall be guilty of an offence and liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to a fine, or to both such imprisonment and such fine; and on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 6 months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or to both such imprisonment and such fine. The person against whom a non-harassment order is made, or the prosecutor at whose instance the order is made, may apply to the court which made the order for its revocation or variation and, in relation to any such application the court concerned may, if it is satisfied on a balance of probabilities that it is appropriate to do so, revoke the order or vary it in such manner as it thinks fit, but not so as to increase the period for which the order is to run. “harassment” and “conduct” are to be construed in accordance with section 8 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (c.40), “ misconduct ” includes conduct that causes alarm or distress. Section 234A applies subject to this section if an offence referred to in subsection (1) of that section is one listed in subsection (2)(c). “victim” has the same meaning as it has in section 234A, “child” has the same meaning as given by section 5(11) of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, A non-harassment order in the person's case may include provision for the order to apply in favour of any of the following, in addition to the victim— in any circumstances, a child usually residing with the person or a child usually residing with the victim (or a child usually residing with both the person and the victim), where the offence is one under section 1(1) of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, and is aggravated as described in section 5(1)(a) of that Act, a child to whom the aggravation relates, if the court is satisfied that it is appropriate for the child to be protected by the order. without an application by the prosecutor, consider the question of whether to make a non-harassment order in the person's case, after hearing the prosecutor as well as the person, make such an order unless of a negative conclusion on the question, if of a negative conclusion on the question, explain the basis for this. Here, a negative conclusion on the question is the conclusion by the court that there is no need for— the victim, or the children (if any) in mind by virtue of subsection (3), to be protected by such an order. In the operation of section 234A along with subsection (4)— subsection (1A) of that section is of no effect (and the reference in subsection (2) of that section to an application under subsection (1A) of that section is to be ignored), further— the references in subsections (2A), (2BA) and (2C) of that section to the person against whom the order is sought are to be read as being to the person in whose case the making of a non-harassment order is being considered, the reference in subsection (2C) of that section to representations in response to the application is to be read as being to representations on the question of whether to make a non-harassment order, the reference in subsection (6) of that section to the prosecutor at whose instance the order is made is to be read as being to the prosecutor in the case in which the non-harassment order is made. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section affects the ability to make a non-harassment order in the case instead of or in addition to dealing with the person in any other way. Where subsection (2) below applies, the court may, instead of or in addition to imposing any sentence which it could impose, make an antisocial behaviour order in respect of a person (the “offender”). the offender is convicted of an offence; in committing the offence, he engaged in antisocial behaviour; and the court is satisfied, on a balance of probabilities, that the making of an antisocial behaviour order is necessary for the purpose of protecting other persons from further antisocial behaviour by the offender. For the purposes of subsection (2)(c) above, a person engages in antisocial behaviour if he— acts in a manner that causes or is likely to cause alarm or distress; or pursues a course of conduct that causes or is likely to cause alarm or distress, to at least one person who is not of the same household as him. Subject to subsection (5) below, an antisocial behaviour order is an order which prohibits, indefinitely or for such period as may be specified in the order, the offender from doing anything described in the order. The prohibitions that may be imposed by an antisocial behaviour order are those necessary for the purpose of protecting other persons from further antisocial behaviour by the offender. Before making an antisocial behaviour order, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language— the effect of the order and the prohibitions proposed to be included in it; the consequences of failing to comply with the order; the powers the court has under subsection (8) below; and the entitlement of the offender to appeal against the making of the order. Failure to comply with subsection (6) shall not affect the validity of the order. On the application of the offender in respect of whom an antisocial behaviour order is made under this section, the court which made the order may, if satisfied on a balance of probabilities that it is appropriate to do so— revoke the order; or subject to subsection (9) below, vary it in such manner as it thinks fit. Where an antisocial behaviour order specifies a period, the court may not, under subsection (8)(b) above, vary the order by extending the period. An antisocial behaviour order made under this section, and any revocation or variation of such an order under subsection (8) above, shall be taken to be a sentence for the purposes of an appeal. Section 9 (breach of orders) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 applies in relation to antisocial behaviour orders made under this section as that section applies in relation to antisocial behaviour orders made under section 4 of that Act. In this section, “conduct” includes speech; and a course of conduct must involve conduct on at least two occasions. Upon making an antisocial behaviour order under section 234AA of this Act, the court shall— serve a copy of the order on the offender; and give a copy of the order to the local authority it considers most appropriate. Upon revoking an antisocial behaviour order under subsection (8)(a) of that section, the court shall notify the local authority to whom a copy of the order was given under subsection (1)(b) above. Upon varying an antisocial behaviour order under subsection (8)(b) of that section, the court shall— serve a copy of the order as varied on the offender; and give a copy of the order as varied to the local authority to whom a copy of the order was given under subsection (1)(b) above. For the purposes of this section, a copy is served on an offender if— given to him; or sent to him by registered post or the recorded delivery service. A certificate of posting of a letter sent under subsection (4)(b) issued by the postal operator shall be sufficient evidence of the sending of the letter on the day specified in such certificate. In this section, “ offender ” means the person in respect of whom the antisocial behaviour order was made. This section applies where a person of 16 years of age or more is convicted of an offence, other than one for which the sentence is fixed by law, committed on or after the date on which section 89 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 comes into force. Subject to the provisions of this section, the court by or before which the offender is convicted may, if it is of the opinion that it is expedient to do so instead of sentencing him, make an order (a “ drug treatment and testing order ”) which shall— have effect for a period specified in the order of not less than six months nor more than three years (“ the treatment and testing period ”); and include the requirements and provisions mentioned in section 234C of this Act. A court shall not make a drug treatment and testing order unless it— has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements for implementing such orders are available in the area of the local authority proposed to be specified in the order under section 234C(6) of this Act and the notice has not been withdrawn; has obtained a report by, and if necessary heard evidence from, an officer of the local authority in whose area the offender is resident about the offender and his circumstances; and is satisfied that— the offender is dependent on, or has a propensity to misuse, drugs; his dependency or propensity is such as requires and is susceptible to treatment; and he is a suitable person to be subject to such an order. For the purpose of determining for the purposes of subsection (3)(c) above whether the offender has any drug in his body, the court may by order require him to provide samples of such description as it may specify. A drug treatment and testing order or an order under subsection (4) above shall not be made unless the offender expresses his willingness to comply with its requirements. amend paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above by substituting a different period for the minimum or the maximum period for the time being specified in that paragraph; and make such transitional provisions as appear to him necessary or expedient in connection with any such amendment. The power to make an order under subsection (6) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument; but no such order shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. A drug treatment and testing order shall be as nearly as may be in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal. A drug treatment and testing order shall include a requirement (“ the treatment requirement ”) that the offender shall submit, during the whole of the treatment and testing period, to treatment by or under the direction of a specified person having the necessary qualifications or experience (“ the treatment provider ”) with a view to the reduction or elimination of the offender’s dependency on or propensity to misuse drugs. The required treatment for any particular period shall be— treatment as a resident in such institution or place as may be specified in the order; or treatment as a non-resident in or at such institution or place, and at such intervals, as may be so specified; but the nature of the treatment shall not be specified in the order except as mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) above. A court shall not make a drug treatment and testing order unless it is satisfied that arrangements have been made for the treatment intended to be specified in the order (including arrangements for the reception of the offender where he is required to submit to treatment as a resident). A drug treatment and testing order shall include a requirement (“ the testing requirement ”) that, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he has any drug in his body during the treatment and testing period, the offender shall provide during that period, at such times and in such circumstances as may (subject to the provisions of the order) be determined by the treatment provider, samples of such description as may be so determined. The testing requirement shall specify for each month the minimum number of occasions on which samples are to be provided. A drug treatment and testing order shall specify the local authority in whose area the offender will reside when the order is in force and require that authority to appoint or assign an officer (a “ supervising officer ”) for the purposes of subsections (7) and (8) below. A drug treatment and testing order shall— provide that, for the treatment and testing period, the offender shall be under the supervision of a supervising officer; require the offender to keep in touch with the supervising officer in accordance with such instructions as he may from time to time be given by that officer, and to notify him of any change of address; and provide that the results of the tests carried out on the samples provided by the offender in pursuance of the testing requirement shall be communicated to the supervising officer. Supervision by the supervising officer shall be carried out to such extent only as may be necessary for the purpose of enabling him— to report on the offender’s progress to the appropriate court; to report to that court any failure by the offender to comply with the requirements of the order; and to determine whether the circumstances are such that he should apply to that court for the variation or revocation of the order. A drug treatment and testing order may include a requirement that during such period as may be specified in the requirement, being a period not exceeding twelve months, the offender comply with such restrictions as to his movements as the court thinks fit; and paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2) of section 245A of this Act (with the qualification of paragraph (a) which that subsection contains) shall apply in relation to any such requirement as they apply in relation to a restriction of liberty order. The clerk of the court shall cause a copy of a drug treatment and testing order which includes such a requirement to be sent to the person who is to be responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the requirement. If, within the period last specified by virtue of subsection (1) above or (6)(d) below, it appears to the person so responsible that the offender has failed to comply with the requirement the person shall so inform the supervising officer appointed by virtue of section 234C(6) of this Act, who shall report the matter to the court. Section 245H shall apply in relation to proceedings under section 234G of this Act as respects a drug treatment and testing order which includes such a requirement as it applies in relation to proceedings under section 245F of this Act. Section 245A(6) and (8) to (11)... of this Act shall apply in relation to the imposition of, or as the case may be compliance with, requirements included by virtue of subsection (1) above in a drug treatment and testing order as those sections apply in relation to the making of, or as the case may be compliance with, a restriction of liberty order. In relation to a drug testing order which includes such a requirement, section 234E of this Act shall apply with the following modifications— the persons who may make an application under subsection (1) of that section shall include the person responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the requirement, but only in so far as the application relates to the requirement; the reference in subsection (2) of that section to the supervising officer shall be construed as a reference to either that officer or the person so responsible; where an application is made under subsection (1) of that section and relates to the requirement, the persons to be heard under subsection (3) of that section shall include the person so responsible; the ways of varying the order which are mentioned in subsection (3)(a) of that section shall include increasing or decreasing the period specified by virtue of subsection (1) above (or last specified by virtue of this paragraph) but not so as to increase that period above the maximum mentioned in subsection (1) above; and the reference in subsection (5) of that section— to the supervising officer shall be construed as a reference to either that officer or the person so responsible; and to sections 234B(5) and 234D(1) shall be construed as including a reference to section 245A(6) and (11). Where under section 234E or 234G(2)(b) of this Act the court varies such a requirement, the clerk of court shall cause a copy of the amended drug treatment and testing order to be sent— to the person responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the requirement; and where the variation comprises a change in who is designated for the purposes of such monitoring, to the person who, immediately before the order was varied, was so responsible. Before making a drug treatment and testing order, a court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language— the effect of the order and of the requirements proposed to be included in it; the consequences which may follow under section 234G of this Act or 42(4) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7)(powers of drugs court) if he fails to comply with any of those requirements; that the court has power under section 234E of this Act to vary or revoke the order on the application of either the offender or the supervising officer; and that the order will be periodically reviewed at intervals provided for in the order. Upon making a drug treatment and testing order the court shall— give, or send by registered post or the recorded delivery service, a copy of the order to the offender; send a copy of the order to the treatment provider; send a copy of the order to the chief social work officer of the local authority specified in the order in accordance with section 234C(6) of this Act; and where it is not the appropriate court, send a copy of the order (together with such documents and information relating to the case as are considered useful) to the clerk of the appropriate court. Where a copy of a drug treatment and testing order has under subsection (2)(a) been sent by registered post or by the recorded delivery service, an acknowledgment or certificate of delivery of a letter containing a copy order issued by the postal operator shall be sufficient evidence of the delivery of the letter on the day specified in such acknowledgement or certificate. Where a drug treatment and testing order is in force either the offender or the supervising officer may apply to the appropriate court for variation or revocation of the order. Where an application is made under subsection (1) above by the supervising officer, the court shall issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before the court. The unified citation provisions apply in relation to a citation under this section as they apply in relation to a citation under section 216(3)(a) of this Act. On an application made under subsection (1) above and after hearing both the offender and the supervising officer, the court may by order, if it appears to it in the interests of justice to do so— vary the order by— amending or deleting any of its requirements or provisions; inserting further requirements or provisions; or subject to subsection (4) below, increasing or decreasing the treatment and testing period; or revoke the order. The power conferred by subsection (3)(a)(iii) above shall not be exercised so as to increase the treatment and testing period above the maximum for the time being specified in section 234B(2)(a) of this Act, or to decrease it below the minimum so specified. Where the court, on the application of the supervising officer, proposes to vary (otherwise than by deleting a requirement or provision) a drug treatment and testing order, sections 234B(5) and 234D(1) of this Act shall apply to the variation of such an order as they apply to the making of such an order. If an offender fails to appear before the court after having been cited in accordance with subsection (2) above, the court may issue a warrant for his arrest. This section is subject to section 234CA(6) of this Act. provide for the order to be reviewed periodically at intervals of not less than one month; provide for each review of the order to be made, subject to subsection (5) below, at a hearing held for the purpose by the appropriate court (a “ review hearing ”); require the offender to attend each review hearing; provide for the supervising officer to make to the court, before each review, a report in writing on the offender’s progress under the order; and provide for each such report to include the test results communicated to the supervising officer under section 234C(7)(c) of this Act and the views of the treatment provider as to the treatment and testing of the offender. A review hearing may be held whether or not the prosecutor elects to appear. At a review hearing the court, after considering the supervising officer’s report, may amend any requirement or provision of the order. The court— shall not amend the treatment or testing requirement unless the offender expresses his willingness to comply with the requirement as amended; shall not amend any provision of the order so as reduce the treatment and testing period below the minimum specified in section 234B(2)(a) of this Act or to increase it above the maximum so specified; and except with the consent of the offender, shall not amend any requirement or provision of the order while an appeal against the order is pending. If the offender fails to express his willingness to comply with the treatment or testing requirement as proposed to be amended by the court, the court may revoke the order. If at a review hearing the court, after considering the supervising officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the order is satisfactory, the court may so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made without a hearing. A review without a hearing shall take place in chambers without the parties being present. If at a review without a hearing the court, after considering the supervising officer’s report, is of the opinion that the offender’s progress is no longer satisfactory, the court may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender or may, if it thinks fit, instead of issuing a warrant in the first instance, issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before that court as such time as may be specified in the citation. Where an offender fails to attend— a review hearing in accordance with a requirement contained in a drug treatment and testing order; or a court at the time specified in a citation under subsection (7) above, the court may issue a warrant for his arrest. Where an offender attends the court at a time specified by a citation issued under subsection (7) above— the court may exercise the powers conferred by this section as if the court were conducting a review hearing; and so amend the order as to provide for each subsequent review to be made at a review hearing. If at any time when a drug treatment and testing order is in force it appears to the appropriate court that the offender has failed to comply with any requirement of the order, the court may issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before the court at such time as may be specified in the citation or, if it appears to the court to be appropriate, it may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender. If it is proved to the satisfaction of the appropriate court that the offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with any requirement of the order, the court may by order— without prejudice to the continuation in force of the order, impose a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; vary the order so however that any extension of the period of a requirement imposed by virtue of section 234CA of this Act shall not increase that period above the maximum mentioned in subsection (1) of that section ; or Subsections (6) and (11) of section 245A of this Act apply to the variation, under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above, of a requirement imposed as is mentioned in that paragraph as they apply to the making of a restriction of liberty order. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, the evidence of one witness shall be sufficient evidence. A fine imposed under this section in respect of a failure to comply with the requirements of a drug treatment and testing order shall be deemed for the purposes of any enactment to be a sum adjudged to be paid by or in respect of a conviction or a penalty imposed on a person summarily convicted. Where the court revokes a drug treatment and testing order under section 234E(3)(b), 234F(4) or 234G(2)(c) of this Act, it may dispose of the offender in any way which would have been competent at the time when the order was made. In disposing of an offender under subsection (1) above, the court shall have regard to the time for which the order has been in operation. Where the court revokes a drug treatment and testing order as mentioned in subsection (1) above and the offender is , in respect of the same offence, also subject to a community payback order, by virtue of section 234J, or a restriction of liberty order, by virtue of section 245D, the court shall, before disposing of the offender under subsection (1) above, revoke the community payback order or restriction of liberty order (as the case may be). This section is subject to section 42(8) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 7)(powers of drugs court). Notwithstanding section 234B(2) of this Act, where the court considers it expedient that the offender should be subject to a drug treatment and testing order and to a community payback order, it may make both such orders in respect of the offender. In deciding whether it is expedient for it to exercise the power conferred by subsection (1) above, the court shall have regard to the circumstances, including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender and to the report submitted to it under section 234B(3)(b) of this Act. Where the court makes both a drug treatment and testing order and a community payback order by virtue of subsection (1) above, the clerk of the court shall send a copy of each of the orders to the following— the treatment provider within the meaning of section 234C(1); the local authority within whose area the offender will reside for the duration of each order. Where the offender by an act or omission fails to comply with a requirement of an order made by virtue of subsection (1) above— if the failure relates to a requirement contained in a community payback order and is dealt with under section 227ZC(7)(d) of this Act, the court may, in addition, exercise the power conferred by section 234G(2)(b) of this Act in relation to the drug treatment and testing order; and if the failure relates to a requirement contained in a drug treatment and testing order and is dealt with under section 234G(2)(b) of this Act, the court may, in addition, exercise the power conferred by section 227ZC(7)(d) of this Act in relation to the community payback order. Where an offender by an act or omission fails to comply with both a requirement contained in a drug treatment and testing order and in a community payback order to which he is subject by virtue of subsection (1) above, he may, without prejudice to subsection (4) above, be dealt with as respects that act or omission either under section 227ZC(7) of this Act or under section 234G(2) of this Act but he shall not be liable to be otherwise dealt with in respect of that act or omission. In sections 234B to 234J of this Act— “ the appropriate court ” means— where the drug treatment and testing order has been made by the High Court, that court; in any other case, the court having jurisdiction in the area of the local authority for the time being specified in the order under section 234C(6) of this Act, being a sheriff or JP court according to whether the order has been made by a sheriff or JP court , but in a case where an order has been made by a JP court and there is no JP court in that area, the sheriff court; and “ local authority ” means a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 and any reference to the area of such an authority is a reference to the local government area within the meaning of that Act for which it is so constituted. Without prejudice to section 245D of this Act, where a person . . . is convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment (other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law) the court, . . . may , instead of imposing on him a sentence of, or including, imprisonment or any other form of detention, make an order under this section (in this Act referred to as a “restriction of liberty order”) in respect of him. . . . A restriction of liberty order may restrict the offender’s movements to such extent as the court thinks fit and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, may include provision— requiring the offender to be in such place as may be specified for such period or periods in each day or week as may be specified; requiring the offender not to be in such place or places, or such class or classes of place or places, at such time or during such periods, as may be specified, . . . . In making a restriction of liberty order containing provision under subsection (2)(a), the court must ensure that the offender is not required, either by the order alone or the order taken together with any other relevant order or requirement, to be in any place or places for a period or periods totalling more than 12 hours in any one day. In subsection (2A), “other relevant order or requirement” means— any other restriction of liberty order in effect in respect of the offender at the time the court is making the order referred to in subsection (2A), and any restricted movement requirement under section 227ZF in effect in respect of the offender at that time. A restriction of liberty order may be made for any period up to 12 months. Before making a restriction of liberty order, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language— the effect of the order...; the consequences which may follow any failure by the offender to comply with the requirements of any order; and that the court has power under section 245E of this Act to review the order on the application either of the offender or of any person responsible for monitoring the order, and the court shall not make the order unless the offender agrees to comply with its requirements. The clerk of the court by which a restriction of liberty order is made shall— cause a copy of the order to be sent— to any person who is to be responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the order; and if the offender resides (or is to reside) in a place outwith the jurisdiction of the court making the order, to the clerk of a court within whose jurisdiction that place is; and cause a copy of the order to be given to the offender or sent to him by registered post or by the recorded delivery service; and an acknowledgment or certificate of delivery of a letter containing such copy order issued by the Post Office shall be sufficient evidence of the delivery of the letter on the day specified in such acknowledgment or certificate. Before making a restriction of liberty order which will require the offender to remain in a specified place or places the court shall — obtain and consider a written report by an officer of a local authority about— the place or places proposed to be specified; and the suitability of what is proposed (particularly with a view to maximising the prospect of the offender's compliance with the order and minimising the risk of reoffending by the offender); the attitude of persons likely to be affected by the enforced presence there of the offender ; and if it considers it necessary, hear the officer who prepared the report. A restriction of liberty order shall be taken to be a sentence for the purposes of this Act and of any appeal. The Secretary of State may by regulations prescribe— which courts, or class or classes of courts, may make restriction of liberty orders; what method or methods of monitoring compliance with such orders may be specified in any such order by any such court; and the class or classes of offenders in respect of which restriction of liberty orders may be made, and different provision may be made in relation to the matters mentioned in paragraphs (b) and (c) above in relation to different courts or classes of court. Regulations under subsection (8) above may make such transitional and consequential provisions, including provision in relation to the continuing effect of any restriction of liberty order in force when new regulations are made, as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. A court shall not make a restriction of liberty order which requires an offender to be in or, as the case may be, not to be in, a particular place or places unless it is satisfied that his compliance with that requirement can be monitored by the means of monitoring which it intends to specify in the order. A court shall not make a restriction of liberty order in respect of an offender who is a child unless, having obtained a report on the offender from the local authority in whose area he resides, it is satisfied as to the services which the authority will provide for his support and rehabilitation during the period when he is subject to the order. The Secretary of State may by regulations substitute for the period of— hours for the time being mentioned in subsection (2A) above; or months for the time being mentioned in subsection (3) above, such period of hours or, as the case may be, months as may be prescribed in the regulations. Regulations under this section shall be made by statutory instrument. A statutory instrument containing regulations made under subsection (8) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. No regulations shall be made under subsection (12) above unless a draft of the regulations has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. Subsection (3) applies where the court— intends to make a restriction of liberty order under section 245A(1) of this Act; and considers it expedient that the offender should also be subject to in the case of an offender who is under 16 years of age, a community payback order imposed under section 227A(1) of this Act in the case of an offender who is 16 years of age or more, a community payback order imposed under section 227A(1) of this Act or a drug treatment and testing order made under section 234B(2) of this Act . . . . In deciding whether it is expedient to make a community payback order or a drug treatment and testing order by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, the court shall— have regard to the circumstances, including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender; and obtain a report as to the circumstances and character of the offender. Where this subsection applies, the court, notwithstanding sections . . . 234B(2) and 245A(1) of this Act, may make a restriction of liberty order and in the case of an offender who is under 16 years of age, a community payback order; in the case of an offender who is 16 years of age or more, either a community payback order or a drug treatment and testing order. Where the court makes a restriction of liberty order and a community payback order by virtue of subsection (3) above, the clerk of the court shall send a copy of each order to— any person responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the restriction of liberty order; and Where the court makes a restriction of liberty order and a drug treatment and testing order by virtue of subsection (3) above, the clerk of the court shall send a copy of each order to— any person responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with the restriction of liberty order; the treatment provider, within the meaning of section 234C(1) of this Act; and the officer of the local authority who is appointed or assigned to be the supervising officer under section 234C(6) of this Act. Where the offender by an act or omission fails to comply with a requirement of an order made by virtue of subsection (3) above— if the failure relates to a requirement imposed by a community payback order and is dealt with under section 227ZC(7)(d) of this Act, the court may, in addition, exercise the powers conferred by section . . . 245F(2) of this Act in relation to the restriction of liberty order; if the failure relates to a requirement contained in a drug treatment and testing order and is dealt with under section . . . 245F(2)(b) of this Act in relation to the restriction of liberty order; and if the failure relates to a requirement contained in a restriction of liberty order and is dealt with under section 245F(2)(b) of this Act, the court may, in addition, exercise the powers conferred by section 227ZC(7)(d) of this Act in relation to a community payback order and by section 234G(2)(b) of this Act in relation to a drug treatment and testing order to which, in either case, the offender is subject by virtue of subsection (3) above. In any case to which this subsection applies, the offender may, without prejudice to subsection (7) above, be dealt with as respects that case under section 227ZC or, as the case may be, section 234G or section 245F(2) of this Act but he shall not be liable to be otherwise dealt with as respects that case. Subsection (8) applies in a case where— the offender by an act or omission fails to comply with both a requirement contained in a restriction of liberty order and in a community payback order to which he is subject by virtue of subsection (3) above;

the offender by an act or omission fails to comply with both a requirement contained in a restriction of liberty order and in a drug treatment and testing order to which he is subject by virtue of subsection (3) above; Subsection (2) applies where the court— makes any of the listed orders in relation to an offender, and knows that the offender is already subject to another of the listed orders. The clerk of court must send a copy of whichever of the listed orders is then made to— any person responsible for monitoring the offender's compliance with whichever of the other listed orders the offender is already subject to (so far as the person's identity can reasonably be ascertained), and the local authority within whose area the offender resides. The listed orders are— a restriction of liberty order, a community payback order, a drug treatment and testing order. In the listed orders, the reference to a community payback order does not include such an order if imposed under section 227M(2). Where a restriction of liberty order is in force either the offender or any person responsible for monitoring his compliance with the order may except in a case to which paragraph (b) below applies, apply to the court which made the order or where a copy of the order was, under section 245A(5)(a)(ii) of this Act or subsection (7)(a) below, sent to the clerk of a different court, apply to that different court (or, if there has been more than one such sending, the different court to which such a copy has most recently been so sent), for a review of it. On an application made under subsection (1) above, and after hearing both the offender and any person responsible for monitoring his compliance with the order, the court may by order, if it appears to it to be in the interests of justice to do so— amending or deleting any of its requirements; inserting further requirements; or subject to subsection (3) of section 245A of this Act, increasing the period for which the order has to run; or Where the court, on the application of a person other than the offender, proposes to— exercise the power conferred by paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above to vary (otherwise than by deleting a requirement) a restriction of liberty order, it shall issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before the court and section 245A(4) shall apply to the variation of such an order as it applies to the making of an order; and exercise the power conferred by subsection (2)(b) above to revoke such an order and deal with the offender under section 245G of this Act, it shall issue a citation requiring him to appear before the court. If an offender fails to appear before the court after having been cited in accordance with subsection (3) above, the court may issue a warrant for his arrest. Before varying a restriction of liberty order so as to require the offender to remain in a specified place or places or so as to specify a different place or different places in which the offender is to remain, the court shall— obtain and consider a written report by an officer of a local authority about— the place or places proposed to be specified, and the attitude of persons likely to be affected by any enforced presence there of the offender; and Where a reason for an application by the offender under subsection (1) above is that he proposes to reside in a place outwith the jurisdiction of the court to which that application is made, and the court is satisfied that suitable arrangements can be made, in the district where that place is, for monitoring his compliance with the order it may— vary the order to permit or make practicable such arrangements; and where the change in residence necessitates or makes desirable a change in who is designated for the purpose of such monitoring, vary the order accordingly. Before varying a restriction of liberty order for the reason mentioned in subsection (5) above, the court shall— if the order will require the offender to remain in a specified place or in specified places— obtain and consider a report by an officer of a local authority about the same matters as are to be included in a report under subsection (4A)(a); and if it considers it necessary, hear the officer who prepared the report; and satisfy itself that his compliance with that requirement can be monitored by the means of monitoring specified, or which it intends to specify, in the order. Where a restriction of liberty order is varied as is mentioned in subsection (5) above, the clerk of the court shall send a copy of the order as so varied to— the clerk of a court within whose jurisdiction the place of proposed residence is; the person who, immediately before the order was varied, was responsible for monitoring the person’s compliance with it; and the person who, in consequence of the variation, is to have that responsibility. If, in relation to an application made for such reason as is mentioned in subsection (5) above, the court is not satisfied as is mentioned in that subsection, it may— refuse the application; or If at any time when a restriction of liberty order is in force it appears except in a case to which paragraph (b) below applies, to the court which made the order or where a copy of the order was, under section 245A(5)(a)(ii) or 245E(7)(a) of this Act, sent to the clerk of a different court, to that different court (or, if there has been more than one such sending, the different court to which such a copy has most recently been so sent), that the offender has failed to comply with any of the requirements of the order the court in question may issue a citation requiring the offender to appear before it at such time as may be specified in the citation or, if it appears to that court to be appropriate, it may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender. If it is proved to the satisfaction of that court that the offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with any of the requirements of the order it may by order— without prejudice to the continuance in force of the order, impose a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; vary the restriction of liberty order; or revoke that order. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, evidence of one witness shall be sufficient evidence. A fine imposed under this section in respect of a failure to comply with the requirements of a restriction of liberty order shall be deemed for the purposes of any enactment to be a sum adjudged to be paid by or in respect of a conviction or a penalty imposed on a person summarily convicted. Where a court varies a restriction of liberty order under subsection (2) above it may do so in any of the ways mentioned in paragraph (a) of section 245E(2) of this Act. Where the court revokes a restriction of liberty order under section 245E(2)(b) or 245F(2) of this Act, it may dispose of the offender in any way which would have been competent at the time when the order was made, but in so doing the court shall have regard to the time for which the order has been in operation. Where the court revokes a restriction of liberty order as mentioned in subsection (1) above, and the offender is, in respect of the same offence, also subject to a community payback order or a drug treatment and testing order, by virtue of section 245D(3), it shall before disposing of the offender under subsection (1) above, revoke the community payback order or drug treatment and testing order. Where the court orders a community payback order or a drug treatment and testing order revoked the clerk of the court shall forthwith give copies of that order to the persons mentioned in subsection (4) or, as the case may be, (5) of section 245D of this Act. Where a court exercises any power conferred by sections 232(3A), 245E(2) or 245F(2)(b) or (c) of this Act, the clerk of the court shall forthwith give copies of the order varying or revoking the restriction of liberty order to any person responsible for monitoring the offender’s compliance with that order and that person shall give a copy of the order to the offender. Where an offender appears before the court in respect of his apparent failure to comply with a requirement of, as the case may be, a community payback order, drug treatment and testing order, . . . or restriction of liberty order the court may, for the purpose of enabling inquiries to be made or of determining the most suitable method of dealing with him, adjourn the hearing. Where, under subsection (1) above, the court adjourns a hearing it shall remand the . . . offender in custody or on bail or ordain him to appear at the adjourned hearing. A court shall not so adjourn a hearing for any single period exceeding four weeks or, on cause shown, eight weeks. The court may adjourn a hearing under subsection (1) for such period as it considers appropriate. An offender remanded under this section may appeal against the refusal of bail, or against the conditions imposed, within 24 hours of his remand. Any such appeal shall be to the appropriate Appeal Court by note of appeal, and the appropriate Appeal Court, either in court or in chambers, may after hearing . . . the appellant— review the order appealed against and either grant bail on such conditions as it thinks fit or ordain the appellant to appear at the adjourned hearing; or A note of appeal under subsection (5) above is to be— Subject to sections 205A and 205B of this Act, a court may, if it appears to meet the justice of the case, dismiss with an admonition any person convicted by the court of any offence. Where a person is convicted on indictment of an offence (other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law), if it appears to the court, having regard to the circumstances including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender, that it is inexpedient to inflict punishment . . . it may instead of sentencing him make an order discharging him absolutely. Where a person is charged before a court of summary jurisdiction with an offence (other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law) and the court is satisfied that he committed the offence, the court, if it is of the opinion, having regard to the circumstances including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender, that it is inexpedient to inflict punishment . . . may without proceeding to conviction make an order discharging him absolutely. Subject to the following provisions of this section, a conviction of an offence for which an order is made discharging the offender absolutely shall be deemed not to be a conviction for any purpose other than the purposes of the proceedings in which the order is made and of laying it before a court as a previous conviction in subsequent proceedings for another offence. Without prejudice to subsection (1) above, the conviction of an offender who is ... discharged absolutely as aforesaid shall in any event be disregarded for the purposes of any enactment which imposes any disqualification or disability upon convicted persons, or authorises or requires the imposition of any such disqualification or disability. Subsections (1) and (2) above shall not affect any right to appeal. Where a person charged with an offence has at any time previously been discharged absolutely in respect of the commission by him of an offence it shall be competent, in the proceedings for that offence, to lay before the court the order of absolute discharge in like manner as if the order were a conviction. Where an offender is discharged absolutely by a court of summary jurisdiction, he shall have the like right of appeal against the finding that he committed the offence as if that finding were a conviction. Where a person is convicted of an offence (other than one triable only summarily) and the court which passes sentence is satisfied that a motor vehicle was used for the purposes of committing or facilitating the commission of that offence, the court may order him to be disqualified for such a period as the court thinks fit from holding or obtaining a licence to drive a motor vehicle granted under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988. A court which makes an order under subsection (1) above disqualifying a person from holding or obtaining a licence under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988 shall require him to produce— any such licence; any Community licence (within the meaning of that Part); and any counterpart of a licence mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) above, held by him. Any reference in this section to facilitating the commission of an offence shall include a reference to the taking of any steps after it has been committed for the purpose of disposing of any property to which it relates or of avoiding apprehension or detection. In relation to licences , other than Community licences which came into force before 1st June 1990, the reference in subsection (2) above to the counterpart of a licence shall be disregarded. Subject to subsection (2) below, the court by or before which a person is convicted of an offence may, in addition to or instead of dealing with him in any other way, order him to be disqualified from holding or obtaining a licence to drive a motor vehicle granted under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988 for such period as it thinks fit. Where the person is convicted of an offence for which the sentence is fixed by law, subsection (1) above shall have effect as if the words “or instead of” were omitted. Subsections (2) and (4) of section 248 of this Act shall apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section. This section applies where the court has power to impose a period of imprisonment in default of payment of a fine, or any part or instalment of a fine. Where this section applies, the court may, instead of imposing such a period of imprisonment as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, order that where the offender is in default he shall be disqualified from holding a licence to drive a motor vehicle granted under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988 for such period not exceeding twelve months as the court thinks fit. Where an order has been made under subsection (2) above in default of payment of any fine, or any part or instalment of a fine— on payment of the fine to any person authorised to receive it, the order shall cease to have effect; and on payment of any part of that fine to any such person, the period of disqualification to which the order relates shall be reduced (or, as the case may be, further reduced) by a number of days bearing as nearly as possible the same proportion to such period as the sum so paid bears to the amount of the fine outstanding at the commencement of that period. Section 19 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (proof of disqualification in Scottish proceedings) shall apply to an order under subsection (2) above as it applies to a conviction or extract conviction. The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument vary the period specified in subsection (2) above; but no such order shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. The Secretary of State may by order prescribe which courts, or class or classes of courts, may make orders under section 248A or 248B of this Act .... An order made under subsection (1) above shall be made by statutory instrument and any such instrument shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. This section applies where a person is convicted of an offence for which the court— imposes a sentence of imprisonment, and orders the person to be disqualified under section 248 or 248A of this Act from holding or obtaining a driving licence. The order under section 248 or 248A of this Act must provide for the person to be disqualified for the appropriate extension period, in addition to the discretionary disqualification period. The discretionary disqualification period is the period for which, in the absence of this section, the court would have disqualified the person under section 248 or 248A of this Act. The appropriate extension period is— in the case of a life prisoner, a period equal to the punishment part of the life sentence; in the case of a person serving a serious terrorism sentence, a period equal to the appropriate custodial term; in the case of a person serving an extended sentence that falls within section 1AB(2A) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”), a period equal to the custodial term; in the case of a person serving an extended sentence in respect of which section 1AB(3) to (5) of the 1993 Act applies to the person, a period equal to two-thirds of the custodial term; in the case of a person serving any other extended sentence, a period equal to half the custodial term; in the case of a person serving a sentence imposed under section 205ZC of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”), a period equal to two-thirds of the appropriate custodial term; in the case of a person serving any other sentence of imprisonment in respect of which section 1AB of the 1993 Act applies to the person, a period equal to two-thirds of the sentence; in any other case, a period equal to half the sentence of imprisonment imposed. If a period determined under subsection (4) includes a fraction of a day, that period is to be rounded up to the nearest number of whole days. For the purposes of subsection (4), a sentence is to be taken to start on the date of commencement of the sentence. Subsection (8) applies where an amending order provides for a reference in section 1(1) or (3), 1AA(1) or 1AB(3)(a) of the 1993 Act to a particular proportion of a prisoner’s sentence to be construed as a reference to some other proportion (“the new proportion”) specified in the order. The Secretary of State may by order provide that the proportion specified in subsection (4)(ac), (c), (ca), (cb) or (d) of this section is to be read, in the case of a sentence of imprisonment to which the amending order relates, as a reference to the new proportion. An order under subsection (8) is to be made by statutory instrument and a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order must be laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. “amending order” means an order made by the Scottish Ministers under section 27(2)(b) of the 1993 Act; “appropriate custodial term”— in relation to a serious terrorism sentence, means the term imposed under subsection (5)(a) or (as the case may be) (7)(a) of section 205ZA of the 1995 Act; in relation to a sentence imposed under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act, means the term imposed under subsection (3)(a) or (as the case may be) (4)(a) of that section; “custodial term” has the meaning given by section 210A(2)(a) of this Act; “extended sentence” has the meaning given by section 210A of this Act; “life prisoner” has the meaning given by section 2(1) of the 1993 Act; “punishment part”, in relation to a life sentence, means the punishment part of the sentence as specified in an order mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1993 Act; “sentence of imprisonment” includes— an order for detention in a residential establishment under section 44 of this Act, and a sentence of detention under section 205, 205ZA(7), 205ZC(4), 207 or 208 of this Act. “serious terrorism sentence” means a sentence imposed under section 205ZA of the 1995 Act; This section applies where a person is convicted of an offence for which a court proposes to order the person to be disqualified under section 248 or 248A from holding or obtaining a driving licence and— the court proposes to impose on the person a sentence of imprisonment for another offence, or at the time of sentencing for the offence, a sentence of imprisonment imposed on the person on an earlier occasion has not expired. In determining the period for which the person is to be disqualified under section 248 or 248A, the court must have regard to the consideration in subsection (3) if and to the extent that it is appropriate to do so. The consideration is the diminished effect of disqualification as a distinct punishment if the person who is disqualified is also detained in pursuance of a sentence of imprisonment. If the court proposes to order the person to be disqualified under section 248 or 248A and to impose a sentence of imprisonment for the same offence, the court may not in relation to that disqualification take that sentence of imprisonment into account for the purposes of subsection (2). In this section “sentence of imprisonment” has the same meaning as in section 248D. Where a person is convicted of an offence the court, instead of or in addition to dealing with him in any other way, may make an order (in this Part of this Act referred to as “a compensation order”) requiring him to pay compensation in favour of the victim for any— personal injury, loss or damage caused directly or indirectly; or alarm or distress caused directly, to the victim. For the purposes of subsection (1) above, “victim” means— a person against whom; or a person against whose property, the acts which constituted the offence were directed. Where a person is convicted of an offence, the court may (instead of or in addition to dealing with the person in any other way), in accordance with subsections (3A) to (3C), make a compensation order requiring the convicted person to pay compensation in favour of— a person who is liable for funeral expenses in respect of which subsection (3C)(b) allows a compensation order to be made. For the purposes of subsection (1B)(a), “victim” means— a person who has suffered personal injury, loss or damage in respect of which a compensation order may be made by virtue of subsection (3A), or a relative (as defined in Schedule 1 to the Damages (Scotland) Act 1976 (c.13)) who has suffered bereavement in respect of which subsection (3C)(a) allows a compensation order to be made. It shall not be competent for a court to make a compensation order— where, under section 246(2) of this Act, it makes an order discharging him absolutely; where, under section 227A of this Act, it imposes a community payback order; at the same time as, under section 202 of this Act, it defers sentence. Where, in the case of an offence involving dishonest appropriation, or the unlawful taking and using of property or a contravention of section 178(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (taking motor vehicle without authority etc.) the property is recovered, but has been damaged while out of the owner’s possession, that damage, however and by whomsoever it was in fact caused, shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (1) above as having been caused by the acts which constituted the offence. A compensation order may be made in respect of personal injury, loss or damage (apart from loss suffered by a person's dependents in consequence of a person's death) that was caused directly or indirectly by an accident arising out of the presence of a motor vehicle on a road if— it was being used in contravention of section 143(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c.52), and no compensation is payable under arrangements to which the Secretary of State is a party. Where a compensation order is made by virtue of subsection (3) or (3A), the order may include an amount representing the whole or part of any loss of (including reduction in) preferential rates of insurance if the loss is attributable to the accident. A compensation order may be made— for bereavement in connection with a person's death resulting from the acts which constituted the offence, for funeral expenses in connection with such a death, except where the death was due to an accident arising out of the presence of a motor vehicle on a road. Unless (and to the extent that) subsections (3) to (3C) allow a compensation order to be made, no compensation order shall be made in respect of— loss suffered in consequence of the death of any person; or injury, loss or damage due to an accident arising out of the presence of a motor vehicle on a road .... In determining whether to make a compensation order against any person, and in determining the amount to be paid by any person under such order, the court shall take into consideration his means so far as known to the court. In solemn proceedings there shall be no limit on the amount which may be awarded under a compensation order. In summary proceedings— a sheriff ... . . . , shall have power to make a compensation order awarding in respect of each offence an amount not exceeding the prescribed sum; a judge of a JP court ... shall have power to make a compensation order awarding in respect of each offence an amount not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. In summary proceedings before the sheriff, where the fine or maximum fine to which a person is liable on summary conviction of an offence exceeds the prescribed sum, the sheriff may make a compensation order awarding in respect of the offence an amount not exceeding the amount of the fine to which the person is so liable. Payment of any amount under a compensation order shall be made to the clerk of the court who shall account for the amount to the person entitled thereto. Only the court shall have power to enforce a compensation order. This section is subject to section 34 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. Where a court considers that in respect of an offence it would be appropriate to impose a fine and to make a compensation order but the convicted person has insufficient means to pay both an appropriate fine and an appropriate amount in compensation the court should prefer a compensation order. Where a convicted person has both been fined and had a compensation order made against him in respect of the same offence or different offences in the same proceedings, a payment by the convicted person shall first be applied in satisfaction of the compensation order. For the purposes of any appeal or review, a compensation order is a sentence. Where a compensation order has been made against a person, a payment made to the court in respect of the order shall be retained until the determination of any appeal in relation to the order. Without prejudice to the power contained in section 213 of this Act, (as applied by section 252 of this Act), at any time before a compensation order has been complied with or fully complied with, the court, on the application of the person against whom the compensation order was made, may discharge the compensation order or reduce the amount that remains to be paid if it appears to the court that— that property the loss of which is reflected in the compensation order has been recovered. On the application of the prosecutor at any time before a compensation order has been complied with (or fully complied with), the court may increase the amount payable under the compensation order if it is satisfied that the person against whom it was made— because of the availability of materially different information about financial circumstances, has more means than were made known to the court when the order was made, or because of a material change of financial circumstances, has more means than the person had then. In subsection (1) above “the court” means— in a case where, as respects the compensation order, a transfer of fine order under section 222 of this Act (as applied by the said section 252) is effective and the court by which the compensation order is enforceable is in terms of the transfer of fine order a court of summary jurisdiction in Scotland, that court; or in any other case, the court which made the compensation order or, where that court was the High Court, by which the order was first enforceable. The provisions of this Act specified in subsection (2) below shall, subject to any necessary modifications and to the qualifications mentioned in that subsection, apply in relation to compensation orders as they apply in relation to fines; and section 91 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 and article 96 of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 shall be construed accordingly. The provisions mentioned in subsection (1) above are— section 211(3), (4) and (7) to (9) (enforcement of fines); section 212 (fines in summary proceedings); section 213 (power to remit fines), with the omission of the words “or (4)” in subsection (2) of that section; section 214 (time for payment) with the omission of— (a) the words from “unless” to “its decision” in subsection (4); and (b) subsection (5); section 215 (further time for payment); section 216 (reasons for default); section 217 (supervision pending payment of fine); section 218 (supplementary provisions), except that subsection (1) of that section shall not apply in relation to compensation orders made in solemn proceedings; subject to subsection (3) below, section 219(1)(b), (2), (3), (5), (6) and (8) (maximum period of imprisonment for non-payment of fine); section 220 (payment of fine in part by prisoner); section 221 (recovery by civil diligence); section 222 (transfer of fine orders); section 223 (action of clerk of court on transfer of fine order); and section 224 (discharge from imprisonment to be specified) ; and. section 248B (driving disqualification for fine defaulters) so far as it relates to the power conferred by section 219(1)(b). In the application of the provisions of section 219 of this Act mentioned in subsection (2) above for the purposes of subsection (1) above— a court may impose imprisonment in respect of a fine and decline to impose imprisonment in respect of a compensation order but not vice versa; and where a court imposes imprisonment both in respect of a fine and of a compensation order the amounts in respect of which imprisonment is imposed shall, for the purposes of subsection (2) of the said section 219, be aggregated. This section shall have effect where a compensation order or a service compensation order or award has been made in favour of any person in respect of any injury, loss , damage, alarm or distress and a claim by him in civil proceedings for damages in respect thereof subsequently falls to be determined. The damages in the civil proceedings shall be assessed without regard to the order or award; but where the whole or part of the amount awarded by the order or award has been paid, the damages awarded in the civil proceedings shall be restricted to the amount (if any) by which, as so assessed, they exceed the amount paid under the order or award. Where the whole or part of the amount awarded by the order or award remains unpaid and damages are awarded in a judgment in the civil proceedings, then, unless the person against whom the order or award was made has ceased to be liable to pay the amount unpaid (whether in consequence of an appeal, or of his imprisonment for default or otherwise), the court shall direct that the judgment— if it is for an amount not exceeding the amount unpaid under the order or award, shall not be enforced; or if it is for an amount exceeding the amount unpaid under the order or award, shall not be enforced except to the extent that it exceeds the amount unpaid, without the leave of the court. In this section a “service compensation order or award” means— an order requiring the payment of compensation under paragraph 11 of— Schedule 5A to the Army Act 1955; Schedule 5A to the Air Force Act 1955; or Schedule 4A to the Naval Discipline Act 1957; or an award of stoppages payable by way of compensation under any of those Acts. This section applies where a person (“P”) is convicted of an offence under section 90(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 (police assault etc.). The court, instead of or in addition to dealing with P in any other way, may make an order to be known as a restitution order requiring P to pay an amount not exceeding the prescribed sum (as defined in section 225(8)). The Scottish Ministers may by regulations amend subsection (2) so as to substitute for the amount for the time being specified such other amount as may be prescribed by, or determined in accordance with, the regulations. Any amount paid in respect of a restitution order is to be paid to the clerk of any court or any other person (or class of person) authorised by the Scottish Ministers for the purpose. Regulations under subsection (3) are subject to the negative procedure. A restitution order is to be treated as a sentence for the purposes of any appeal under this Act. A person to whom any amount is paid under section 253A in respect of a restitution order must pay the amount to the Scottish Ministers. The Scottish Ministers must pay any amount received by virtue of subsection (1) into a fund to be known as the Restitution Fund. The Scottish Ministers must establish, maintain and administer the Restitution Fund for the purpose of securing the provision of support services for persons who have been assaulted as mentioned in section 90(1) of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 (“victims”). Any payment out of the fund may be made only to— a person who provides or secures the provision of support services for victims, or the Scottish Ministers or, with the consent of the Scottish Ministers, a person specified by order by virtue of subsection (5) in respect of outlays incurred in administering the fund. The Scottish Ministers may delegate to such person as they may specify by order the duties imposed on them by subsection (3) of establishing, maintaining and administering the Restitution Fund. The Scottish Ministers may by order make further provision about the administration of the Restitution Fund including provision for or in connection with— specifying persons or classes of person to or in respect of whom payments may be made out of the fund (but subject to subsection (4)), the making of payments out of the fund, requiring financial or other records to be kept, the making of reports to the Scottish Government containing such information and in respect of such periods as may be specified. An order under subsection (5) or (6) is subject to the affirmative procedure. In this section, “support services”, in relation to a victim, means any type of service or treatment which is intended to benefit the physical or mental health or wellbeing of the victim. Subsection (2) applies where a court considers in relation to an offence that it would be appropriate— to make a restitution order, to impose a fine, and to make a compensation order. If the person convicted of the offence (“P”) has insufficient means to pay an appropriate amount under a restitution order, to pay an appropriate fine and to pay an appropriate amount in compensation, the court should prefer a compensation order and then a restitution order over a fine. Subsection (4) applies where a court considers in relation to an offence that it would be appropriate— to make a restitution order, and to impose a fine or make a compensation order. If P has insufficient means to pay an appropriate amount under a restitution order and to pay an appropriate fine or, as the case may be, an appropriate amount in compensation, the court should prefer a compensation order and then a restitution order over a fine. This section applies where the court makes a restitution order in relation to a person (“P”) convicted of an offence and also in respect of the same offence or different offences in the same proceedings— imposes a fine and makes a compensation order, or imposes a fine or makes a compensation order. A payment by P must be applied in the following order— the payment must first be applied in satisfaction of the compensation order, the payment must next be applied in satisfaction of the restitution order, the payment must then be applied in satisfaction of the fine. The provisions of this Act specified in subsection (2) apply in relation to restitution orders as they apply in relation to fines but subject to the modifications mentioned in subsection (2) and to any other necessary modifications. The provisions are— section 121(4), section 193(3), section 211(3) and (7), section 212, section 213 (with the modification that subsection (2) is to be read as if the words “or (4)” were omitted), section 214(1) to (4) and (6) to (9) (with the modification that subsection (4) is to be read as if the words from “unless” to “decision” were omitted), sections 215 to 217, subject to subsection (3) below, section 219(1)(b), (2), (3), (5), (6) and (8), sections 220 to 224, section 248B. In the application of the provisions of section 219 mentioned in subsection (2)(f) for the purposes of subsection (1)— a court may impose imprisonment in respect of a fine and decline to impose imprisonment in respect of a restitution order but not vice versa, where a court imposes imprisonment both in respect of a fine and a restitution order, the amounts in respect of which imprisonment is imposed are to be aggregated for the purposes of section 219(2). a person (“P”) is convicted of an offence other than an offence, or offence of a class, that is prescribed by regulations by the Scottish Ministers, the court does not make a restitution order in respect of the same offence or a different offence in the same proceedings, and the court imposes a sentence, or sentence of a class, that is so prescribed. Except in such circumstances as may be prescribed by regulations by the Scottish Ministers, the court, in addition to dealing with P in any other way, must order P to pay a victim surcharge of such amount as may be so prescribed. Despite subsection (2), if P is convicted of two or more offences in the same proceedings, the court must order P to pay only one victim surcharge in respect of both or, as the case may be, all the offences. Any sum paid in respect of a victim surcharge is to be paid to the clerk of any court or any other person (or class of person) authorised by the Scottish Ministers for the purpose. Regulations under this section may make different provision for different cases and in particular may include provision— prescribing different amounts for different descriptions of offender, prescribing different amounts for different circumstances. Where provision is made by virtue of subsection (5), the Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision for determining which victim surcharge is payable in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (3). Regulations under this section are subject to the affirmative procedure. A person to whom any sum is paid under section 253F(4) in respect of a victim surcharge must pay the sum to the Scottish Ministers. The Scottish Ministers must pay any sum received by virtue of subsection (1) into a fund to be known as the Victim Surcharge Fund. The Scottish Ministers must establish, maintain and administer the Victim Surcharge Fund for the purpose of securing the provision of support services for persons who are or appear to be the victims of crime and prescribed relatives of such persons. a person who is or appears to be the victim of crime, a prescribed relative of a person who is or appears to be the victim of crime, a person who provides or secures the provision of support services for persons who are or appear to be victims of crime, or The Scottish Ministers may delegate to such person as they may specify by order the duties imposed on them by subsection (3) of establishing, maintaining and administering the Victim Surcharge Fund. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make further provision about the administration of the Victim Surcharge Fund including provision for or in connection with— the keeping of financial and other records, An order under subsection (5) and regulations under subsection (6) are subject to the affirmative procedure. “prescribed” means prescribed by the Scottish Ministers by regulations, “support services”, in relation to a person who is or appears to be the victim of crime, means any type of service or treatment which is intended to benefit the physical or mental health or wellbeing of the person or a prescribed relative of the person. Regulations under subsections (3), (4) and (8) are subject to the negative procedure. This section applies where the court orders the payment of a victim surcharge in relation to a person (“P”) convicted of an offence and also in respect of the same offence or different offences in the same proceedings— the payment must next be applied in satisfaction of the victim surcharge, The provisions of this Act specified in subsection (2) apply in relation to victim surcharges as they apply in relation to fines but subject to the modifications mentioned in subsection (2) and to any other necessary modifications. section 211(3) and (4), sections 215 to 218, a court may impose imprisonment in respect of a fine and decline to impose imprisonment in respect of a victim surcharge but not vice versa, where a court imposes imprisonment both in respect of a fine and a victim surcharge, the amounts in respect of which imprisonment is imposed are to be aggregated for the purposes of section 219(2). Where a court has made an order for the forfeiture of an article, the court or any justice may, if satisfied on information on oath— that there is reasonable cause to believe that the article is to be found in any place or premises; and that admission to the place or premises has been refused or that a refusal of such admission is apprehended, issue a warrant of search which may be executed according to law. In subsection (1), “article” includes animal. Where an offence is alleged to be committed in any special capacity, as by the holder of a licence, master of a vessel, occupier of a house, or the like, the fact that the accused possesses the qualification necessary to the commission of the offence shall, unless challenged— Where the age of any person is specified in an indictment or a complaint, it shall, unless challenged— 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 this Act; or in summary proceedings— by preliminary objection before the plea of the accused is recorded; or by objection at such later time as the court may in special circumstances allow, In any trial it shall not be necessary for the accused or for the prosecutor— to prove any fact which is admitted by the other; or to prove any document, the terms and application of which are not in dispute between them, and, without prejudice to paragraph 1 of Schedule 8 to this Act, copies of any documents may, by agreement of the parties, be accepted as equivalent to the originals. For the purposes of subsection (1) above, any admission or agreement shall be made by lodging with the clerk of court a minute in that behalf signed— in the case of an admission, by the party making the admission or, if that party is the accused and he is legally represented, by his counsel or solicitor; and in the case of an agreement, by the prosecutor and the accused or, if he is legally represented, his counsel or solicitor. Where a minute has been signed and lodged as aforesaid, any facts and documents admitted or agreed thereby shall be deemed to have been duly proved. Subject to subsection (2) below, the prosecutor and the accused (or each of the accused if more than one) shall each identify any facts which are facts— which he would, apart from this section, be seeking to prove; which he considers unlikely to be disputed by the other party (or by any of the other parties); and in proof of which he does not wish to lead oral evidence, and shall, without prejudice to section 258 of this Act, take all reasonable steps to secure the agreement of the other party (or each of the other parties) to them; and the other party (or each of the other parties) shall take all reasonable steps to reach such agreement. Subsection (1) above shall not apply in relation to proceedings as respects which the accused (or any of the accused if more than one) is not legally represented. The duty under subsection (1) above applies— in relation to proceedings on indictment, from the date of service of the indictment until the swearing of the jury or, where intimation is given under section 76 of this Act, the date of that intimation; and in relation to summary proceedings, from the date on which the accused pleads not guilty until the swearing of the first witness or, where the accused tenders a plea of guilty at any time before the first witness is sworn, the date when he does so. Without prejudice to subsection (3) above, in relation to proceedings on indictment, the parties to the proceedings shall, in complying with the duty under subsection (1) above, seek to ensure that the facts to be identified, and the steps to be taken in relation to those facts, are identified and taken— in the case of the High Court, before the preliminary hearing; in the case of the sheriff court, before the first diet Without prejudice to subsection (3) above, in relation to summary proceedings, the parties to the proceedings shall, in complying with the duty under subsection (1) above, seek to ensure that the facts to be identified, and the steps to be taken in relation to those facts, are identified and taken before any intermediate diet that is to be held. This section applies where, in any criminal proceedings, a party (in this section referred to as “the first party”) considers that facts which that party would otherwise be seeking to prove are unlikely to be disputed by the other parties to the proceedings. Where this section applies, the first party may prepare and sign a statement— specifying the facts concerned; or referring to such facts as set out in a document annexed to the statement, and shall, not less than the relevant period before the relevant diet, serve a copy of the statement and any such document on every other party. In subsection (2) above, the “relevant period” means— where the relevant diet for the purpose of that subsection is an intermediate diet in summary proceedings, 7 days; in any other case, 14 days. In subsection (2) above, “the relevant diet” means— in the case of proceedings in the High Court, the preliminary hearing; in summary proceedings in which an intermediate diet is to be held, that diet; in any other case, the trial diet. Unless any other party serves on the first party, not more than seven days after the date of service of the copy on him under subsection (2) above or by such later time as the court may in special circumstances allow, a notice that he challenges any fact specified or referred to in the statement, the facts so specified or referred to shall be deemed to have been conclusively proved. Where a notice is served under subsection (3) above, the facts specified or referred to in the statement shall be deemed to have been conclusively proved only in so far as unchallenged in the notice. Where a notice is served under subsection (3) above . . . , the court may, on the application of any party to the proceedings made not less than 48 hours before the relevant diet, direct that any challenge in the notice to any fact is to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (4) above if the court considers the challenge to be unjustified. Where in summary proceedings the relevant diet for the purposes of subsection (4A) above is an intermediate diet, an application under that subsection may be made at (or at any time before) that diet. In subsection (4A) above, “the relevant diet” means— in proceedings in the High Court, the preliminary hearing; . . . in solemn proceedings in the sheriff court, the first diet. in which an intermediate diet is to be held, that diet; in which such a diet is not to be held, the trial diet.

In proceedings in the High Court, the Court may, on cause shown, allow an application under subsection (4A) above to be made after the time limit specified in that subsection. In summary proceedings, the court may allow an application under subsection (4A) above to be made late if the court is satisfied that a timeous application would not have been practicable. Subsections (3) and (4) above shall not preclude a party from leading evidence of circumstances relevant to, or other evidence in explanation of, any fact specified or referred to in the statement. Notwithstanding subsections (3) and (4) above, the court— may, on the application of any party, where it is satisfied that there are special circumstances; and shall, on the joint application of all the parties, direct that the presumptions in those subsections shall not apply in relation to such fact specified or referred to in the statement as is specified in the direction. An application under subsection (6) above may be made at any time after the commencement of the trial and before the commencement of the prosecutor’s address to the court on the evidence. Where the court makes a direction under subsection (6) above it shall, unless all the parties otherwise agree, adjourn the trial and may, without prejudice to section 268 of this Act, permit any party to lead evidence as to any such fact as is specified in the direction, notwithstanding that a witness or production concerned is not included in any list lodged by the parties and that the notice required by sections 67(5) and 78(4) of this Act has not been given. A copy of a statement or a notice required, under this section, to be served on any party shall be served in such manner as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal; and a written execution purporting to be signed by the person who served such copy or notice together with, where appropriate, the relevant post office receipt shall be sufficient evidence of such service. Subject to the following provisions of this section, evidence of a statement made by a person otherwise than while giving oral evidence in court in criminal proceedings shall be admissible in those proceedings as evidence of any matter contained in the statement where the judge is satisfied— that the person who made the statement will not give evidence in the proceedings of such matter for any of the reasons mentioned in subsection (2) below; that evidence of the matter would be admissible in the proceedings if that person gave direct oral evidence of it; that the person who made the statement would have been, at the time the statement was made, a competent witness in such proceedings; and that there is evidence which would entitle a jury properly directed, or in summary proceedings would entitle the judge, to find that the statement was made and that either— it is contained in a document; or a person who gave oral evidence in the proceedings as to the statement has direct personal knowledge of the making of the statement. The reasons referred to in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above are that the person who made the statement— is dead or is, by reason of his bodily or mental condition, unfit or unable to give evidence in any competent manner; is named and otherwise sufficiently identified, but is outwith the United Kingdom and it is not reasonably practicable to secure his attendance at the trial or to obtain his evidence in any other competent manner; is named and otherwise sufficiently identified, but cannot be found and all reasonable steps which, in the circumstances, could have been taken to find him have been so taken; having been authorised to do so by virtue of a ruling of the court in the proceedings that he is entitled to refuse to give evidence in connection with the subject matter of the statement on the grounds that such evidence might incriminate him, refuses to give such evidence; or is called as a witness and either— refuses to take the oath or affirmation; or having been sworn as a witness and directed by the judge to give evidence in connection with the subject matter of the statement refuses to do so, and in the application of this paragraph to a child, the reference to a witness refusing to take the oath or affirmation or, as the case may be, to having been sworn shall be construed as a reference to a child who has refused to accept an admonition to tell the truth or, having been so admonished, refuses to give evidence as mentioned above. Evidence of a statement shall not be admissible by virtue of subsection (1) above where the judge is satisfied that the occurrence of any of the circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e) of subsection (2) above, by virtue of which the statement would otherwise be admissible, is caused by— the person in support of whose case the evidence would be given; or any other person acting on his behalf, for the purpose of securing that the person who made the statement does not give evidence for the purposes of the proceedings either at all or in connection with the subject matter of the statement. Where in any proceedings evidence of a statement made by any person is admitted by reference to any of the reasons mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) and (e)(i) of subsection (2) above— any evidence which, if that person had given evidence in connection with the subject matter of the statement, would have been admissible as relevant to his credibility as a witness shall be admissible for that purpose in those proceedings; evidence may be given of any matter which, if that person had given evidence in connection with the subject matter of the statement, could have been put to him in cross-examination as relevant to his credibility as a witness but of which evidence could not have been adduced by the cross-examining party; and evidence tending to prove that that person, whether before or after making the statement, made in whatever manner some other statement which is inconsistent with it shall be admissible for the purpose of showing that he has contradicted himself. Subject to subsection (6) below, where a party intends to apply to have evidence of a statement admitted by virtue of subsection (1) above he shall, by the relevant time, give notice in writing of— that fact; the witnesses and productions to be adduced in connection with such evidence; and such other matters as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, to every other party to the proceedings and, for the purposes of this subsection, such evidence may be led notwithstanding that a witness or production concerned is not included in any list lodged by the parties and that the notice required by sections 67(5) and 78(4) of this Act has not been given. in the case of proceedings in the High Court— not less than 7 days before the preliminary hearing; or such later time, before the trial diet, as the judge may on cause shown allow; in any other case, before the trial diet. A party shall not be required to give notice as mentioned in subsection (5) above where— the grounds for seeking to have evidence of a statement admitted are as mentioned in paragraph (d) or (e) of subsection (2) above; or he satisfies the judge that there was good reason for not giving such notice. If no other party to the proceedings objects to the admission of evidence of a statement by virtue of subsection (1) above, the evidence shall be admitted without the judge requiring to be satisfied as mentioned in that subsection. For the purposes of the determination of any matter upon which the judge is required to be satisfied under subsection (1) above— except to the extent that any other party to the proceedings challenges them and insists in such challenge, it shall be presumed that the circumstances are as stated by the party seeking to introduce evidence of the statement; and where such a challenge is insisted in, the judge shall determine the matter on the balance of probabilities, and he may draw any reasonable inference— from the circumstances in which the statement was made or otherwise came into being; or from any other circumstances, including, where the statement is contained in a document, the form and contents of the document. Where evidence of a statement has been admitted by virtue of subsection (1) above on the application of one party to the proceedings, without prejudice to anything in any enactment or rule of law, the judge may permit any party to lead additional evidence of such description as the judge may specify, notwithstanding that a witness or production concerned is not included in any list lodged by the parties and that the notice required by sections 67(5) and 78(4) of this Act has not been given. Any reference in subsections (5), (6) and (9) above to evidence shall include a reference to evidence led in connection with any determination required to be made for the purposes of subsection (1) above. Subject to the following provisions of this section, where a witness gives evidence in criminal proceedings, any prior statement made by the witness shall be admissible as evidence of any matter stated in it of which direct oral evidence by him would be admissible if given in the course of those proceedings. A prior statement shall not be admissible under this section unless— the statement is contained in a document; the witness, in the course of giving evidence, indicates that the statement was made by him and that he adopts it as his evidence; and at the time the statement was made, the person who made it would have been a competent witness in the proceedings. For the purposes of this section, any reference to a prior statement is a reference to a prior statement which, but for the provisions of this section, would not be admissible as evidence of any matter stated in it. Subsections (2) and (3) above do not apply to a prior statement— contained in a precognition on oath; or made in other proceedings, whether criminal or civil and whether taking place in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and, for the purposes of this section, any such statement shall not be admissible unless it is sufficiently authenticated. A prior statement made by a witness shall not, in any proceedings on indictment, be inadmissible by reason only that it is not included in any list of productions lodged by the parties. Subject to the following provisions of this section, nothing in sections 259 and 260 of this Act shall apply to a statement made by the accused. Evidence of a statement made by an accused shall be admissible by virtue of the said section 259 at the instance of another accused in the same proceedings as evidence in relation to that other accused. For the purposes of subsection (2) above, the first mentioned accused shall be deemed— where he does not give evidence in the proceedings, to be a witness refusing to give evidence in connection with the subject matter of the statement as mentioned in paragraph (e) of subsection (2) of the said section 259; and to have been, at the time the statement was made, a competent witness in the proceedings. Evidence of a statement shall not be admissible as mentioned in subsection (2) above unless the accused at whose instance it is sought to be admitted has given notice of his intention to do so as mentioned in subsection (5) of the said section 259; but subsection (6) of that section shall not apply in the case of notice required to be given by virtue of this subsection. Evidence of a statement to which this subsection applies is not inadmissible as evidence of any fact contained in the statement on account of the evidence's being hearsay. Subsection (1) applies to a statement made by the accused in the course of the accused's being questioned (whether as a suspect or not) by a constable, or another official, investigating an offence. Subsection (1) does not affect the issue of whether evidence of a statement made by one accused is admissible as evidence in relation to another accused. Evidence of a statement made by a person in response to questioning carried out in accordance with authorisation granted under section 35 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 is not inadmissible on account of the statement's being made after the person has been charged with an offence. a witness is giving evidence in criminal proceedings, the witness has made a prior statement, the prosecutor has seen or has been given an opportunity to see the statement, and the accused (or a solicitor or advocate acting on behalf of the accused in the proceedings) has seen or has been given an opportunity to see the statement. The court may allow the witness to refer to the statement while the witness is giving evidence. For the purposes of sections 259 to 261A of this Act, a “statement” includes— any representation, however made or expressed, of fact or opinion; and any part of a statement, but does not include a statement in a precognition other than a precognition on oath. For the purposes of the said sections 259 to 261A a statement is contained in a document where the person who makes it— makes the statement in the document personally; makes a statement which is, with or without his knowledge, embodied in a document by whatever means or by any person who has direct personal knowledge of the making of the statement; or approves a document as embodying the statement. In the said sections 259 to 261A— “criminal proceedings” include (other than in section 261A) any hearing by the sheriff of an application made by virtue of section 93(2)(a) or 94(2)(a) of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1) to determine whether a ground is established, in so far as the application relates to the commission of an offence by the child, or for a review of such a determination; “document” includes, in addition to a document in writing— any map, plan, graph or drawing; any photograph; any disc, tape, sound track or other device in which sounds or other data (not being visual images) are recorded so as to be capable (with or without the aid of some other equipment) of being reproduced therefrom; and any film, negative, tape, disc or other device in which one or more visual images are recorded so as to be capable (as aforesaid) of being reproduced therefrom; “film” includes a microfilm; “made” includes (other than in section 261A) allegedly made. Nothing in the said sections 259 to 261A shall prejudice the admissibility of a statement made by a person other than in the course of giving oral evidence in court which is admissible otherwise than by virtue of those sections. In any trial, it shall be competent for the party against whom a witness is produced and sworn in causa to examine such witness both in cross and in causa. The judge may, on the motion of either party, on cause shown order that the examination of a witness for that party (“the first witness”) shall be interrupted to permit the examination of another witness for that party. Where the judge makes an order under subsection (2) above he shall, after the examination of the other witness, permit the recall of the first witness. In a trial, a witness may be examined as to whether he has on any specified occasion made a statement on any matter pertinent to the issue at the trial different from the evidence given by him in the trial; and evidence may be led in the trial to prove that the witness made the different statement on the occasion specified. In any trial, on the motion of either party, the presiding judge may permit a witness who has been examined to be recalled. The spouse or civil partner of an accused is a competent and compellable witness for the prosecution, the accused or any co-accused in the proceedings against the accused. Subsection (1) is, if the spouse or civil partner is a co-accused in the proceedings, subject to any enactment or rule of law by virtue of which an accused need not (by reason of being an accused) give evidence in the proceedings. Subsection (1) displaces any other rule of law that would (but for that subsection) prevent or restrict, by reference to the relationship, the giving of evidence by the spouse or civil partner of an accused. Every person adduced as a witness who is not otherwise by law disqualified from giving evidence, shall be admissible as a witness, and no objection to the admissibility of a witness shall be competent on the ground of— conviction of or punishment for an offence; interest; agency or partial counsel; the absence of due citation to attend; or his having been precognosced subsequently to the date of citation. Where any person who is or has been an agent of the accused is adduced and examined as a witness for the accused, it shall not be competent for the accused to object, on the ground of confidentiality, to any question proposed to be put to such witness on matter pertinent to the issue of the guilt of the accused. No objection to the admissibility of a witness shall be competent on the ground that he or she is the father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister, by consanguinity or affinity, or uncle, aunt, nephew or niece, by consanguinity of any party adducing the witness in any trial. It shall not be competent for any witness to decline to be examined and give evidence on the ground of any relationship mentioned in subsection (3) above. Subject to subsections (2) to (8) below, the accused shall be a competent witness for the defence at every stage of the case, whether the accused is on trial alone or along with a co-accused. The accused shall not be called as a witness in pursuance of this section except upon his own application or in accordance with subsection (9) or (10) below. An accused who gives evidence on his own behalf in pursuance of this section may be asked any question in cross-examination notwithstanding that it would tend to incriminate him as to the offence charged. An accused who gives evidence on his own behalf in pursuance of this section shall not be asked, and if asked shall not be required to answer, any question tending to show that he has committed, or been convicted of, or been charged with, any offence other than that with which he is then charged, or is of bad character, unless— the proof that he has committed or been convicted of such other offence is admissible evidence to show that he is guilty of the offence with which he is then charged; or the accused or his counsel or solicitor has asked questions of the witnesses for the prosecution with a view to establishing the accused’s good character or impugning the character of the complainer, or the accused has given evidence of his own good character, or the nature or conduct of the defence is such as to involve imputations on the character of the prosecutor or of the witnesses for the prosecution or of the complainer; or the accused has given evidence against any other person charged in the same proceedings. In a case to which paragraph (b) of subsection (4) above applies, the prosecutor shall be entitled to ask the accused a question of a kind specified in that subsection only if the court, on the application of the prosecutor, permits him to do so. Nothing in subsections (4) and (5) above shall prevent the accused from being asked, or from being required to answer, any question tending to show that he has been convicted of an offence other than that with which he is charged if his conviction for that other offence has been disclosed to the jury, or is to be taken into consideration by the judge, under section 275A(2) of this Act. An application under subsection (5) above in proceedings on indictment shall be made in the course of the trial but in the absence of the jury. In subsection (4) above, references to the complainer include references to a victim who is deceased. Every person called as a witness in pursuance of this section shall, unless otherwise ordered by the court, give his evidence from the witness box or other place from which the other witnesses give their evidence. The accused may— with the consent of a co-accused, call that other accused as a witness on the accused’s behalf; or ask a co-accused any question in cross-examination if that co-accused gives evidence, but he may not do both in relation to the same co-accused. The prosecutor or the accused may call as a witness a co-accused who has pleaded guilty to or been acquitted of all charges against him which remain before the court (whether or not, in a case where the co-accused has pleaded guilty to any charge, he has been sentenced) or in respect of whom the diet has been deserted; and the party calling such co-accused as a witness shall not require to give notice thereof, but the court may grant any other party such adjournment or postponement of the trial as may seem just. Where, in any trial, the accused is to be called as a witness he shall be so called as the first witness for the defence unless the court, on cause shown, otherwise directs. The court may, on an application by any party to the proceedings, permit a witness to be in court during the proceedings or any part of the proceedings before he has given evidence if it appears to the court that the presence of the witness would not be contrary to the interests of justice. Without prejudice to subsection (1) above, where a witness has, without the permission of the court and without the consent of the parties to the proceedings, been present in court during the proceedings, the court may, in its discretion, admit the witness, where it appears to the court that the presence of the witness was not the result of culpable negligence or criminal intent, and that the witness has not been unduly instructed or influenced by what took place during his presence, or that injustice will not be done by his examination. This Act shall be sufficient warrant for the citation of witnesses for precognition by the prosecutor, whether or not any person has been charged with the offence in relation to which the precognition is taken. Such citation shall be in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form. A witness who, having been duly cited— fails without reasonable excuse, after receiving at least 48 hours notice, to attend for precognition by a prosecutor at the time and place mentioned in the citation served on him; or refuses when so cited to give information within his knowledge regarding any matter relative to the commission of the offence in relation to which the precognition is taken, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding 21 days. The court may, on an application by the prosecutor in any proceedings, make an order requiring the accused person to participate in an identification parade or other identification procedure. The application may be made at any time after the proceedings have been commenced. shall (if the accused is present) allow the accused to make representations in relation to the application; may, if it considers it appropriate to do so (where the accused is not present), fix a hearing for the purpose of allowing the accused to make such representations. Where an order is made under subsection (1) above, the clerk of court shall (if the accused is not present) have notice of the order effected as respects the accused without delay. Notice under subsection (4) above shall (in relation to any proceedings) be effected in the same manner as citation under section 141 of this Act. It is sufficient evidence that notice has been effected under subsection (5) above if there is produced a written execution— in the form prescribed by Act of Adjournal or as nearly as may be in such form; and signed by the person who effected notice. In relation to notice effected by means of registered post or the recorded delivery service, the relevant post office receipt requires to be produced along with the execution mentioned in subsection (6) above. A person who, having been given due notice of an order made under subsection (1) above, without reasonable excuse fails to comply with the order is— liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12 months or to both. For the purpose of subsection (5) above, section 141 of this Act is to be read with such modifications as are necessary for its application in the circumstances. In this section, “the court” means— in any other case, any court with jurisdiction in relation to the proceedings. Subject to subsection (2) below, the judge may, on a motion of the prosecutor or the accused made— in proceedings on indictment, at any time before the commencement of the speeches to the jury; in summary proceedings, at any time before the prosecutor proceeds to address the judge on the evidence, permit him to lead additional evidence. Permission shall only be granted under subsection (1) above where the judge— considers that the additional evidence is prima facie material; and accepts that at the commencement of the trial either— the additional evidence was not available and could not reasonably have been made available; or the materiality of such additional evidence could not reasonably have been foreseen by the party. The judge may permit the additional evidence to be led notwithstanding that— in proceedings on indictment, a witness or production concerned is not included in any list lodged by the parties and that the notice required by sections 67(5) and 78(4) of this Act has not been given; or in any case, a witness must be recalled. The judge may, when granting a motion in terms of this section, adjourn or postpone the trial before permitting the additional evidence to be led. In this section “the commencement of the trial” means— in proceedings on indictment, the time when the jury is sworn; and in summary proceedings, the time when the first witness for the prosecution is sworn. The judge may, on a motion of the prosecutor made at the relevant time, permit the prosecutor to lead additional evidence for the purpose of— contradicting evidence given by any defence witness which could not reasonably have been anticipated by the prosecutor; or providing such proof as is mentioned in section 263(4) of this Act. The judge may when granting a motion in terms of this section, adjourn or postpone the trial before permitting the additional evidence to be led. In subsection (1) above, “the relevant time” means— in proceedings on indictment, after the close of the defence evidence and before the commencement of the speeches to the jury; and in summary proceedings, after the close of the defence evidence and before the prosecutor proceeds to address the judge on the evidence. evidence is led by the defence, or the defence asks questions of a witness for the prosecution, with a view to establishing the accused’s good character or impugning the character of the prosecutor, of any witness for the prosecution or of the complainer; or the nature or conduct of the defence is such as to tend to establish the accused’s good character or to involve imputations on the character of the prosecutor, of any witness for the prosecution or of the complainer. Where this section applies the court may, without prejudice to section 268 of this Act, on the application of the prosecutor, permit the prosecutor to lead evidence that the accused has committed, or has been convicted of, or has been charged with, offences other than that for which he is being tried, or is of bad character, notwithstanding that, in proceedings on indictment, a witness or production concerned is not included in any list lodged by the prosecutor and that the notice required by sections 67(5) and 78(4) of this Act has not been given. In proceedings on indictment, an application under subsection (2) above shall be made in the course of the trial but in the absence of the jury. In subsection (1) above, references to the complainer include references to a victim who is deceased. For the purposes of this Act, a person who is giving or is to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings is a vulnerable witness if— the person is under the age of 18 on the date of commencement of the proceedings in which the hearing is being or is to be held, there is a significant risk that the quality of the evidence to be given by the person will be diminished by reason of— mental disorder (within the meaning of section 328 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003), or fear or distress in connection with giving evidence at the hearing, the offence is alleged to have been committed against the person in proceedings for— an offence listed in any of paragraphs 36 to 59ZL of Schedule 3 to the Sexual Offences Act 2003, an offence under section 22 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 (traffic in prostitution etc.), an offence under section 4 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 (trafficking people for exploitation), an offence of human trafficking (see section 1 of the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Scotland) Act 2015), an offence the commission of which involves domestic abuse, or an offence of stalking, or there is considered to be a significant risk of harm to the person by reason only of the fact that the person is giving or is to give evidence in the proceedings. The Scottish Ministers may by order subject to the affirmative procedure modify subsection (1)(c). In determining whether a person is a vulnerable witness by virtue of subsection (1)(b) or (d) above, the court shall take into account— the nature and circumstances of the alleged offence to which the proceedings relate, the nature of the evidence which the person is likely to give, the relationship (if any) between the person and the accused, the person’s age and maturity, any behaviour towards the person on the part of— members of the family or associates of the accused, any other person who is likely to be an accused or a witness in the proceedings, and such other matters, including— the social and cultural background and ethnic origins of the person, the person’s sexual orientation, the domestic and employment circumstances of the person, any religious beliefs or political opinions of the person, and any physical disability or other physical impairment which the person has, as appear to the court to be relevant. For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) , section 271B(1)(b) and sections 271BZA to 271BZC, proceedings shall be taken to have commenced— where it is relevant to a court's consideration of whether to authorise the use of the special measure of taking evidence by commissioner (on its own or in combination with any other special measure) and the accused has appeared on petition, on the date when the accused appeared on petition, or in any other case, on the date when the indictment or, as the case may be, complaint is served on the accused. In subsection (1)(b) above, the reference to the quality of evidence is to its quality in terms of completeness, coherence and accuracy. In determining whether a person is a vulnerable witness under subsection (1)(b) or (d), the court must— have regard to the best interests of the witness, and take account of any views expressed by the witness. In this section and sections 271A to 271M of this Act— “child witness” means a vulnerable witness referred to in subsection (1)(a), “deemed vulnerable witness” means a vulnerable witness referred to in subsection (1)(c), “court” means the High Court or the sheriff court, “hearing in relevant criminal proceedings” means any hearing in the course of any criminal proceedings in the High Court or the sheriff court. In sections 271A to 271M of this Act, “special measure” means any of the special measures set out in, or prescribed under, section 271H below. Where a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness is to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings, the ... witness is entitled, subject to— subsections (2) to (13) below, and section 271D of this Act, to the benefit of one or more of the special measures for the purpose of giving evidence. Subject to section 271AA, a party citing or intending to cite a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness shall, by the required time, lodge with the court a notice (referred to in this Act as a “vulnerable witness notice”)— specifying the special measure or measures which the party considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the ... witness’s evidence, or if the party considers that the ... witness should give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, stating that fact. A vulnerable witness notice shall contain or be accompanied by— a summary of any views expressed for the purposes of section 271E(2)(b) of this Act, and such other information as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. In the case where a vulnerable witness notice under subsection (2)(a) specifies only a standard special measure— subsection (3)(a) does not apply, and subsection (5) has effect as if the words “not earlier than 7 days and” were omitted. The court may, on cause shown, allow a vulnerable witness notice to be lodged after the required time. Any party to the proceedings may, not later than 7 days after a vulnerable witness notice has been lodged, lodge with the court a notice (referred to in this section as an “objection notice”) stating— an objection to any special measure (other than a standard special measure) specified in the vulnerable witness notice that the party considers to be inappropriate, and the reasons for that objection. The court may, on cause shown, allow an objection notice to be lodged after the period referred to in subsection (4A). If an objection notice is lodged in accordance with subsection (4A) or (4B)— subsection (5)(a)(ii) does not apply to the vulnerable witness notice, and the court must make an order under subsection (5A). The court shall, not earlier than 7 days and not later than 14 days after a vulnerable witness notice has been lodged, consider the notice in the absence of the parties and, subject to sections 271B to 271BZB of this Act— in the case of a notice under subsection (2)(a) above— if a standard special measure is specified in the notice, make an order authorising the use of that measure for the purpose of taking the ... witness’s evidence, and if any other special measure is specified in the notice and the court is satisfied on the basis of the notice that it is appropriate to do so, make an order authorising the use of the special measure (in addition to any authorised by virtue of an order under sub-paragraph (i) above) for the purpose of taking the ... witness’s evidence, in the case of a notice under subsection (2)(b) above, if— the summary of views accompanying the notice under subsection (3)(a) above indicates that the ... witness has expressed a wish to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, and the court is satisfied on the basis of the notice that it is appropriate to do so, make an order authorising the giving of evidence by the ... witness without the benefit of any special measure, or paragraph (a)(ii) or (b) above would apply but for the fact that the court is not satisfied as mentioned in that paragraph, or in the case of a notice under subsection (2)(b), the summary of views accompanying the notice under subsection (3)(a) above indicates that the ... witness has not expressed a wish to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, make an order under subsection (5A) below. That order is an order— in the case of proceedings in the High Court where the preliminary hearing is yet to be held, appointing the vulnerable witness notice to be disposed of at that hearing; in the case of proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court where the first diet is yet to be held, appointing the vulnerable witness notice to be disposed of at that diet; or in any other case, appointing a diet to be held before the hearing at which the evidence is to be given and requiring the parties to attend the diet. Subsection (7) below applies where— it appears to the court that a party intends to call a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings, the party has not lodged a vulnerable witness notice in respect of the ... witness by the time specified in subsection (2) above or lodged a notice with the clerk of court in accordance with section 271AA by the time specified in that section, and the court has not allowed a vulnerable witness notice in respect of the ... witness to be lodged after that time under subsection (4) above or under section 271AA(5). Where this subsection applies, the court shall— order the party to lodge a vulnerable witness notice in respect of the ... witness by such time as the court may specify, or where the court does not so order— in the case of proceedings on indictment where this subsection applies at or before the preliminary hearing or, as the case may be, the first diet, at that hearing or diet make an order under subsection (9) below; or in any other case, make an order appointing a diet to be held before the hearing at which the evidence is to be given diet and requiring the parties to attend the diet. On making an order under subsection (5A)(c) or (7)(b)(ii) above, the court may postpone the hearing at which the evidence is to be given. Subsection (9) below applies to— a preliminary hearing or first diet, so far as the court is— by virtue of an order under subsection (5A)(a) or (b) above, disposing of a vulnerable witness notice at the hearing or diet; or by virtue of subsection (7)(b)(i) above, to make an order under subsection (9) ... at the hearing or diet; and a diet appointed under subsection (5A)(c) or (7)(b)(ii) above. Subject to section 271B, at a hearing or diet to which this subsection applies, the court, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard— in a case where any of the standard special measures has been authorised by an order under subsection (5)(a)(i) above, may make an order authorising the use of such further special measure or measures as it considers appropriate for the purpose of taking the ... witness’s evidence, and in any other case, shall make an order— authorising the use of such special measure or measures as the court considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the ... witness’s evidence, or that the ... witness is to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure. Subject to section 271B, the court may make an order under subsection (9)(b)(ii) above only if satisfied— where the ... witness has expressed a wish to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, that it is appropriate for the ... witness so to give evidence, or in any other case, that— the use of any special measure for the purpose of taking the evidence of the ... witness would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the trial or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the ... witness if the order is made. A hearing or diet to which subsection (9) above applies may— on the application of the party citing or intending to cite the ... witness in respect of whom the diet is to be held, or of the court’s own motion, be held in chambers. A diet appointed under subsection (5A)(c) or (7)(b)(ii) above in any case may be conjoined with any other diet to be held before the hearing at which the evidence is to be given. A party lodging a vulnerable witness notice or an objection notice shall, at the same time, intimate the notice to the other parties to the proceedings. In subsections (2) and (4) above, “the required time” means— any time before a date has been fixed for one of the following— a preliminary hearing in the High Court, a first diet in the sheriff court, or a hearing at which the evidence is to be given, or if a date has been fixed— for a preliminary hearing in the High Court, no later than 14 clear days before the preliminary hearing, for a first diet in the sheriff court in the case of proceedings on indictment, no later than 7 clear days before the first diet, or in a case in which the proceedings are not to take place in the High Court or on indictment in the sheriff court, for a hearing at which the evidence is to be given, no later than 14 clear days before that hearing. In this section and section 271AA, references to a standard special measure are to any of the following special measures— the use of a live television link in accordance with section 271J of this Act ... the use of a screen in accordance with section 271K of this Act, and the use of a supporter in accordance with section 271L of this Act ... The Scottish Ministers may, by order subject to the affirmative procedure— modify subsection (14), in consequence of any modification made under paragraph (a)— prescribe the procedure to be followed when standard special measures are used, and so far as is necessary, modify sections 271A to 271M of this Act. a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness is to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings, and the party citing or intending to cite the witness considers that it is most appropriate for the witness to give evidence with the benefit of— one or more standard special measures, and no other special measure. The party must, by the required time, lodge with the clerk of court a notice specifying— the standard special measure or measures that the party considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness's evidence, whether the witness is a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness, if the witness is a child witness, the witness's age, and The party lodging a notice with the clerk of court under subsection (2) must, at the same time, intimate the notice to the other parties to the proceedings. If the party lodges a notice with the clerk of court by the required time, the witness is entitled to the benefit of the standard special measure or measures specified in the notice as if the use of that measure or measures were authorised by an order made by the court under section 271A(5)(a). If the party does not lodge a notice with the clerk of court by the required time, the court may, on cause shown, allow the party to lodge a vulnerable witness notice in accordance with section 271A (despite its being lodged later than the deadline for lodging a vulnerable witness notice). In this section, the “required time” means— This section does not apply in a case to which section 271B or 271BZA applies. This section applies where a child witness— is to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings in respect of any offence specified in subsection (2) below, and is under the age of 12 on the date of commencement of the proceedings in which the hearing is being or to be held. The offences referred to in subsection (1)(a) above are— murder, culpable homicide, any offence which involves an assault on, or injury or a threat of injury to, any person (including any offence involving neglect or ill-treatment of, or other cruelty to, a child), abduction, ... plagium. Subsection (4) applies if the child witness expresses a wish to be present in the court-room for the purpose of giving evidence. The court must make an order under section 271A or, as the case may be, 271D which has the effect of requiring the child witness to be present in the court-room for the purpose of giving evidence unless the court considers that it would not be appropriate for the child witness to be present there for that purpose. Where the court is required to make an order having the effect mentioned in subsection (4), an order made by the court under section 271A(5)(a) may authorise the use of a special measure or measures other than those specified in the vulnerable witness notice if that would result in the order having the effect mentioned in subsection (4). Subsection (6) applies if the child witness— does not express a wish to be present in the court-room for the purpose of giving evidence, or expresses a wish to give evidence in some other way. The court may not make an order under section 271A or 271D having the effect mentioned in subsection (4) unless the court considers that— the giving of evidence by the child witness in some way other than by being present in the court-room for that purpose would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the trial or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the child witness if the order were to be made. This section does not apply in a case to which section 271BZA applies. This section applies where a child witness, other than the accused, is to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings which are— solemn proceedings, and in respect of an offence listed in subsection (2). The offences are— assault to the danger of life, abduction, plagium, a sexual offence to which section 288C applies, an offence under any of sections 140 to 142 and 152 to 154 of the Health and Care Act 2022 (offences relating to virginity testing and hymenoplasty), an offence that would have fallen within paragraph (h) if section 1 of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 had been in force when the offence was allegedly committed, an offence under section 4 of the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Scotland) Act 2015 (slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour), an offence under section 1 of the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation (Scotland) Act 2005 (offence of female genital mutilation), an offence under section 3 of the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation (Scotland) Act 2005 (aiding and abetting female genital mutilation), an attempt to commit an offence mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (m). The court must enable all of the child witness's evidence to be given in advance of the hearing unless the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under subsection (7) or (8). For the purposes of this section, the court enables all of the child witness's evidence to be given in advance of the hearing if— the court makes an order under section 271A which satisfies the following requirements— it authorises the use of one or both of the special measures listed in subsection (5) for the purpose of taking all of the child witness's evidence, it does not authorise the use of an incompatible special measure for the purpose of taking any of the child witness's evidence, and it does not authorise the giving of any of the child witness's evidence without the benefit of any special measure, and the court, if it commences a review under section 271D before the hearing has commenced, does not make an order under that section which— revokes the order made under section 271A, or varies it in such a way that it no longer satisfies the requirements set out in paragraph (a)(i), (ii) and (iii). The special measures mentioned in subsection (4)(a)(i) are— taking of evidence by a commissioner in accordance with section 271I, giving evidence in chief in the form of a prior statement in accordance with section 271M. In this section, “incompatible special measure” means a special measure which is capable of being used only if the child witness gives evidence at the hearing (whether or not its use would require the child witness to be present in the courtroom).

An exception is justified if— the giving of all of the child witness's evidence in advance of the hearing would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the hearing or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the child witness if the child witness were to give evidence at the hearing. the child witness expresses a wish to give evidence at the hearing, and it would be in the child witness's best interests to give evidence at the hearing. modify subsection (2), remove the condition set out in subsection (1)(b) and the list of offences in subsection (2). Regulations under subsection (9) are subject to the affirmative procedure. In a case to which section 271BZA applies, section 271A applies with the following modifications. References to a standard special measure are to be read as references to any of the following special measures (and subsection (14) is to be read accordingly)— use of a supporter in accordance with section 271L, Section 271A(2) has effect as if— the words “Subject to section 271AA,” were omitted, the words “or a deemed vulnerable witness” were omitted. Section 271A has effect as if the following subsection were inserted after subsection (2)— A vulnerable witness notice must— state that section 271BZA applies, and explain why the party considers that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8) if the notice— does not specify one or both of the special measures listed in section 271BZA(5) for the purpose of taking all of the child witness's evidence, specifies an incompatible special measure (as defined in section 271BZA(6)) for the purpose of taking any of the child witness's evidence, or states that the party considers that the child witness should give any of the child witness's evidence without the benefit of any special measure. Section 271A has effect as if the following subsections were inserted after subsection (10)— Subsections (5), (9) and (10) are subject to subsections (10B) to (10F). Where the court is considering a notice in accordance with subsection (5) and the notice does not specify one or both of the special measures mentioned in section 271BZA(5) for the purpose of taking all of the child witness's evidence, the court may nonetheless make an order which has the effect of authorising the use of one or both of those special measures for that purpose. Unless the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8), an order made by the court under this section— must authorise the use of one or more of the special measures mentioned in section 271BZA(5) for the purpose of taking all of the child witness's evidence, must not authorise the use of an incompatible special measure (as defined in section 271BZA(6)) for the purpose of taking any of the child witness's evidence, and must not authorise the giving of any of the child witness's evidence without the benefit of any special measure. Even if the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8), an order made by the court under this section must not have the effect of requiring the child witness to be present in the courtroom to give evidence unless the court is satisfied that subsection (10E) or (10F) applies. This subsection applies if— the giving of evidence by the child witness in some way other than by being present in the courtroom for that purpose would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the hearing or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the child witness if the child witness were to be present in the courtroom to give evidence. the child witness expresses a wish to be present in the courtroom to give evidence, and it would be in the child witness's best interests to be present in the courtroom to give evidence. In a case to which section 271BZA applies, section 271D applies with the following modifications. Section 271D has effect as if— subsections (3A) to (3C) were omitted, subsection (4A) were omitted, and the following subsections were inserted after subsection (4A)— Subsections (2) to (4) are subject to subsections (4C) to (4H). Unless the hearing has already commenced when the court commences its review or the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8), an order made by the court under this section must not— revoke the earlier order, or vary it in such a way that it no longer satisfies the requirements set out in section 271BZA(4)(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). An order made by the court under this section must have the effect of authorising the use of the special measure of taking of evidence by a commissioner in accordance with section 271I if— that is requested by any party to the proceedings, and the earlier order authorises only the special measure of giving evidence in chief in the form of a prior statement in accordance with section 271M. However, an order made by the court under this section need not have the effect described in subsection (4D) if— the hearing has already commenced when the court commences its review, or the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8). Even if the hearing has already commenced when the court commences its review or the court is satisfied that an exception is justified under section 271BZA(7) or (8), an order made under this section must not have the effect of requiring the child witness to be present in the courtroom to give evidence unless the court is satisfied that subsection (4G) or (4H) applies. This section applies where a party intends to cite a witness other than a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings. The party intending to cite the witness must take reasonable steps to carry out an assessment under subsection (3). An assessment must determine whether the person— is likely to be a vulnerable witness, and if so, what special measure or combination of special measures ought to be used for the purpose of taking the person's evidence. In determining under subsection (3)(a) whether a person is likely to be a vulnerable witness the party must— take into account the matters mentioned in section 271(2), have regard to the best interests of the person, and take account of any views expressed by the person. This section applies where a party citing or intending to cite a person (other than a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness) to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings (such a person being referred to in this section as “the witness”) and, having carried out an assessment under section 271BA, considers— that the witness is likely to be a vulnerable witness, and that a special measure or combination of special measures ought to be used for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence. Where this section applies, the party citing or intending to cite the witness shall, by the required time, make an application (referred to as a “ vulnerable witness application ”) to the court for an order authorising the use of one or more of the special measures for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence. A vulnerable witness application shall— specify the special measure or measures which the party making the application considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the evidence of the witness to whom the application relates, and contain or be accompanied by— The court may, on cause shown, allow a vulnerable witness application to be made after the the required time. Any party to the proceedings may, not later than 7 days after a vulnerable witness application has been lodged, lodge with the court a notice (referred to in this section as “an objection notice”) stating— an objection to any special measure specified in the vulnerable witness application that the party considers to be inappropriate, and subsection (5) does not apply to the vulnerable witness application, and The court shall, not earlier than 7 days and not later than 14 days after a vulnerable witness application is made to it, consider the application in the absence of the parties and— make an order authorising the use of the special measure or measures specified in the application if satisfied on the basis of the application that— the witness in respect of whom the application is made is a vulnerable witness, the special measures or measures specified in the application are the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence, and it is appropriate to do so after having complied with the duty in subsection (8) below, or if not satisfied as mentioned in paragraph (a) above, make an order under subsection (5A) below. in the case of proceedings in the High Court where the preliminary hearing is yet to be held, appointing the vulnerable witness application to be disposed of at that hearing, in the case of proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court where the first diet is yet to be held, appointing the vulnerable witness application to be disposed of at that diet, or On making an order under subsection (5A)(c) above, the court may postpone the hearing at which the evidence is to be given. Subsection (7) below applies to— a preliminary hearing or first diet so far as the court is, by virtue of an order under subsection (5A)(a) or (b) above disposing of a vulnerable witness application at the hearing or diet, and a diet appointed under subsection (5A)(c) above. At a hearing or diet to which this subsection applies, the court may— after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard, and if satisfied that the witness in respect of whom the application is made is a vulnerable witness, make an order authorising the use of such special measure or measures as the court considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence. In deciding whether to make an order under subsection (5)(a) or (7) above, the court shall— have regard to— the possible effect on the witness if required to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, and whether it is likely that the witness would be better able to give evidence with the benefit of a special measure, and take into account the matters specified in subsection (2)(a) to (f) of section 271 of this Act. A hearing or diet to which subsection (7) above applies may— on the application of the party citing or intending to cite the witness in respect of whom the diet is to be held, or A diet appointed under subsection (5A)(c) above in any case may be conjoined with any other diet to be held before the hearing at which the evidence is to be given. A party making a vulnerable witness application or an objection notice shall, at the same time, intimate the application or, as the case may be, the notice to the other parties to the proceedings. in the case of proceedings in the High Court, no later than 14 clear days before the preliminary hearing, in the case of proceedings on indictment in the sheriff court, no later than 7 clear days before the first diet, in any other case, no later than 14 clear days before the hearing at which the evidence is to be given. In any case in which a person who is giving or is to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings (referred to in this section as the “witness”) is or appears to the court to be a vulnerable witness, the court may at any stage in the proceedings (whether before or after the commencement of the hearing or before or after the witness has begun to give evidence)— on the application of any party to the proceedings, or of its own motion, review the current arrangements for taking the witness’s evidence and, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard, make an order under subsection (2) below. The order which may be made under this subsection is— where the current arrangements for taking the witness’s evidence include the use of a special measure or combination of special measures authorised by an order under section 271A or 271C of this Act or under this subsection (referred to as the “earlier order”), an order varying or revoking the earlier order, or where the current arrangements for taking the witness’s evidence do not include any special measure, an order authorising the use of such special measure or measures as the court considers most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence. An order under subsection (2)(a) above varying an earlier order may— add to or substitute for any special measure authorised by the earlier order such other special measure as the court considers most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence, or where the earlier order authorises the use of a combination of special measures for that purpose, delete any of the special measures so authorised. If an earlier order has the effect of enabling all of the witness's evidence to be given in advance of the hearing, the court may not make an order under subsection (2)(a) varying the earlier order in such a way that it no longer has that effect. However, the court may vary the earlier order in the way mentioned in subsection (3A) if the hearing has already commenced when the court commences its review or if the court is satisfied— where the witness has expressed a wish to give evidence at the hearing, that it is appropriate for the witness to do so, or if the court does not vary the earlier order in that way, there would be a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the hearing or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the witness if the court were not to vary the earlier order in that way. For the purposes of this section, an order has the effect of enabling all of the witness's evidence to be given in advance of the hearing if— it authorises the use of one or both of these special measures for the purpose of taking all of the witness's evidence— giving evidence in chief in the form of a prior statement in accordance with section 271M, it does not authorise the use of a special measure which is capable of being used only if the witness gives evidence at the hearing (whether or not its use would require the witness to be present in the courtroom), and it does not authorise the giving of any of the witness's evidence without the benefit of any special measure. The court may make an order under subsection (2)(a) above revoking an earlier order only if satisfied— where the witness has expressed a wish to give or, as the case may be, continue to give evidence without the benefit of any special measure, that it is appropriate for the witness so to give evidence, or the use, or continued use, of the special measure or measures authorised by the earlier order for the purpose of taking the witness’s evidence would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the hearing or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the witness if the order is made. In a case in which a notice has been provided to the clerk of court in accordance with section 271AA(2), this section is to have effect as if the special measure or measures specified in the notice were authorised by an order under section 271A. Subsection (8) of section 271C of this Act applies to the making of an order under subsection (2)(b) of this section as it applies to the making of an order under subsection (5)(a) or (7) of that section but as if the references to the witness were to the witness within the meaning of this section. In this section, “current arrangements” means the arrangements in place at the time the review under this section is begun. In this section, “court” includes a commissioner appointed under section 271I(1). This section is subject to sections 271B to 271BZC. Subsection (2) below applies where— a party is considering for the purposes of a vulnerable witness notice , a notice that is to be lodged with the clerk of court under section 271AA or a vulnerable witness application which of the special measures is or are the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the evidence of the person to whom the notice or application relates, or the court is making an order under section 271A(5)(a)(ii) or (b) or (9), 271C or 271D of this Act. The party or, as the case may be, the court shall— take account of any views expressed by— the witness (having regard, where the witness is a child witness, to the witness’s age and maturity), and where the witness is a child witness, the witness’s parent (except where the parent is the accused). “parent”, in relation to a child witness, means any person having parental responsibilities within the meaning of section 1(3) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 36) in relation to the child witness, “the witness” means— in the case referred to in subsection (1)(a) above, the person to whom the notice or application relates, in the case referred to in subsection (1)(b) above, the person to whom the order would relate. For the purposes of the application of subsection (1) of section 271 of this Act to the accused (where the accused is giving or is to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings), subsection (2) of that section shall have effect as if— whether the accused is to be legally represented at the hearing and, if not, the accused’s entitlement to be so legally represented, for paragraph (e) there were substituted— any behaviour towards the accused on the part of— any co-accused or any person who is likely to be a co-accused in the proceedings, any witness or any person who is likely to be a witness in the proceedings, or members of the family or associates of any of the persons mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above. Where, if the accused were to give evidence at or for the purposes of the hearing, he would be a child witness— section 271A of this Act shall apply in relation to the accused subject to the following modifications— references to a witness shall be read as if they were references to the accused, references to the party citing or intending to cite a ... witness shall be read as if they were references to the accused, and subsection (6) shall have effect as if for paragraph (a) there were substituted— it appears to the court that the accused, if he were to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings, would be a child witness, section 271AA applies in relation to the accused with the following modifications— in subsection (1)(a), the reference to a child witness or a deemed vulnerable witness is to be read as if it were a reference to the accused, in subsections (1) to (5), references to the party citing or intending to cite the witness are to be read as if they were references to the accused, in subsections (1)(b), (2)(a) and (4), references to the witness are to be read as if they were references to the accused, subsection (2) has effect as if for paragraphs (b) and (c) there were substituted— that the notice is lodged by the accused and that the accused is a child witness, the accused's age, and section 271B of this Act shall apply in relation to the accused as if— for subsection (1) there were substituted— This section applies where the accused— if he were to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings would be a child witness, and is under the age of 12 on the date of commencement of the proceedings. in subsection (3), references to the child witness were references to the accused. Subsection (4) below applies where the accused— considers that, if he were to give evidence at or for the purposes of a hearing in relevant criminal proceedings, he would be a vulnerable witness other than a child witness, and has not decided to give evidence without the benefit of any special measures. Where this subsection applies, subsections (2) to (11) of section 271C of this Act shall apply in relation to the accused subject to the following modifications— references to the witness shall be read as if they were references to the accused, references to the party citing or intending the cite the witness shall be read as if they were references to the accused, and in subsection (8)(b), the reference to subsection (2)(a) to (f) of section 271 of this Act shall be read as if it were a reference to that subsection as modified by subsection (1) above. Section 271D of this Act shall apply in any case where it appears to the court that the accused, if he were to give evidence at or for the purposes of the hearing, would be a vulnerable witness as it applies in the case referred to in subsection (1) of that section but subject to the following modifications— references to the party citing or intending to cite the witness shall be read as if they were references to the accused. Where the witness within the meaning of section 271E of this Act is the accused, that section shall have effect in relation to the witness as if— in subsection (1), paragraph (a) were omitted, and in subsection (2), the words “The party or, as the case may be,” were omitted. Section 271M of this Act shall have effect, where the vulnerable witness is the accused, as if the reference in subsection (2) to the party citing the vulnerable witness were a reference to the accused. The following provisions of this Act shall not apply in relation to a vulnerable witness who is the accused— section 271H(1)(c) and (ea), section 271I(3). Nothing in sections 271A to 271F of this Act affects any power or duty which a court has otherwise than by virtue of those sections to make or authorise any special arrangements for taking the evidence of any person. The special measures which may be authorised to be used under section 271A, 271C or 271D of this Act for the purpose of taking the evidence of a vulnerable witness are— taking of evidence by a commissioner in accordance with section 271I of this Act, use of a live television link in accordance with section 271J of this Act, use of a screen in accordance with section 271K of this Act, use of a supporter in accordance with section 271L of this Act, giving evidence in chief in the form of a prior statement in accordance with section 271M of this Act, and excluding the public during the taking of the evidence in accordance with section 271HB of this Act, modify subsection (1), prescribe the procedure to be followed when special measures are used, and Provision may be made by Act of Adjournal regulating, so far as not regulated by sections 271I to 271M of this Act, the use in any proceedings of any special measure authorised to be used by virtue of section 271A, 271C or 271D of this Act. The Scottish Ministers may, by order subject to the affirmative procedure, specify additional measures which for the time being are to be treated as special measures listed in section 271H(1). An order under subsection (1) An order under subsection (1) must specify— the area in which the additional measures may be used, the period during which the additional measures may be used, and the procedure to be followed when the additional measures are used. This section applies where the special measure to be used in respect of a vulnerable witness is excluding the public during the taking of the evidence of the vulnerable witness. The court may direct that all or any persons other than those mentioned in subsection (3) are excluded from the court during the taking of the evidence. The persons are— members or officers of the court, parties to the case before the court, their counsel or solicitors or persons otherwise directly concerned in the case, Where the special measure to be used is taking of evidence by a commissioner, the court shall appoint a commissioner to take the evidence of the vulnerable witness in respect of whom the special measure is to be used. A court which appoints a commissioner under subsection (1) must— fix a date for the proceedings before the commissioner, and fix a date for a hearing (to be known as a “ground rules hearing”) for the purpose of preparing for the proceedings. The ground rules hearing is to be presided over by— a judge of the court which appointed the commissioner if— the court directs that the ground rules hearing be conjoined with another hearing or diet that is to be held before the date of the proceedings to which the ground rules hearing relates and that hearing or diet is presided over by a judge, or it is not reasonably practicable for the ground rules hearing to be presided over by the commissioner appointed to preside over the proceedings to which the ground rules hearing relates, or in any other case, the commissioner appointed to preside over the proceedings to which the ground rules hearing relates. In cases where a judge presides over a ground rules hearing in accordance with subsection (1ZB)(a), references to the commissioner in subsection (1ZD) are to be read as references to the judge. The commissioner presiding over a ground rules hearing must— ascertain the length of time the parties expect to take for examination-in-chief and cross-examination, including any breaks that may be required, to the extent that the commissioner considers it appropriate to do so, decide on the form and wording of the questions that are to be asked of the vulnerable witness, if the commissioner considers it appropriate to do so, authorise the use of a supporter at the proceedings, in accordance with section 271L, if the commissioner considers that there are steps that could reasonably be taken to enable the vulnerable witness to participate more effectively in the proceedings, direct that those steps be taken, subject to section 72(8) which applies in relation to the commissioner as it applies in relation to the court, dispose of any application that— has been made under section 275(1) or 288F(2), and has not yet been disposed of by the court, consider whether the proceedings should take place on the date fixed by the court and postpone the proceedings if the commissioner considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so having regard to all the circumstances, including— whether the parties are likely to be ready for the proceedings to take place on the date fixed by the court and if not, the reasons for that, any views expressed by the parties on whether the proceedings should be postponed, and whether postponement is in the interests of the vulnerable witness, and consider and, if appropriate, make a decision on, any other matter that the commissioner considers could be usefully dealt with before the proceedings take place. Proceedings before a commissioner appointed under subsection (1) above shall, if the court so directed when authorising such proceedings or it was so directed at the ground rules hearing, take place by means of a live television link between the place where the commissioner is taking, and the place from which the witness is giving, evidence. Proceedings before a commissioner appointed under subsection (1) above shall be recorded by video recorder. An accused— shall not, except by leave of the court on special cause shown, be present— in the room where such proceedings are taking place; or if such proceedings are taking place by means of a live television link, in the same room as the witness, but is entitled by such means as seem suitable to the court to watch and hear the proceedings. The recording of the proceedings made in pursuance of subsection (2) above shall be received in evidence without being sworn to by witnesses. It is not necessary (in solemn cases) for an indictment to have been served before— a party may lodge a vulnerable witness notice which specifies the special measure of taking evidence by commissioner as the special measure or one of the special measures which the party considers to be the most appropriate for the purpose of taking the witness's evidence, a court may make an order authorising the use of the special measure of taking evidence by commissioner, whether on its own or in combination with any other special measure specified in the same vulnerable witness notice, a court may appoint a commissioner under subsection (1), or proceedings may take place before a commissioner appointed under subsection (1). Sections— 274; 275; 275B except subsection (2)(b); 275C; 288C; 288E; and 288F, of this Act apply in relation to proceedings before a commissioner appointed under subsection (1) above as they apply in relation to a trial. In the application of those sections in relation to such proceedings— the commissioner acting in the proceedings is to perform the functions of the court as provided for in those sections; references— in those sections, except section 275(3)(c) and (7)(c), to a trial or a trial diet; in those sections, except sections 275(3)(e) and 288F(2), (3) and (4), to the court, shall be read accordingly; the reference in section 275B(1) to 14 days shall be read as a reference to 7 days. In a case where it falls to the court to appoint a commissioner under subsection (1) above, the commissioner shall be a person described in subsection (8) below. where the proceedings before the commissioner are for the purposes of a trial which the court (when it appoints the commissioner) expects will be in the High Court, a judge of the High Court; or in any other case, a sheriff. Where the special measure to be used is a live television link, the court shall make such arrangements as seem to it appropriate for the vulnerable witness in respect of whom the special measure is to be used to give evidence from a place outside the court-room where the hearing is to take place by means of a live television link between that place and the court-room. The place from which the vulnerable witness gives evidence by means of the link— may be another part of the court building in which the court-room is located or any other suitable place outwith that building, and shall be treated, for the purposes of the proceedings at the hearing, as part of the court-room whilst the witness is giving evidence. Any proceedings conducted by means of a live television link by virtue of this section shall be treated as taking place in the presence of the accused. the live television link is to be used in proceedings in a sheriff court, but that court lacks accommodation or equipment necessary for the purpose of receiving such a link, the sheriff may by order transfer the proceedings to any other sheriff court in the same sheriffdom which has such accommodation or equipment available. An order may be made under subsection (4) above— at any stage in the proceedings (whether before or after the commencement of the hearing), or in relation to any part of the proceedings. Where the special measure to be used is a screen, the screen shall be used to conceal the accused from the sight of the vulnerable witness in respect of whom the special measure is to be used. However, the court shall make arrangements to ensure that the accused is able to watch and hear the vulnerable witness giving evidence. Subsections (4) and (5) of section 271J of this Act apply for the purpose of the use of a screen under this section as they apply for the purpose of the use of a live television link under that section but as if— references to the live television link were references to the screen, and the reference to receiving such a link were a reference to the use of a screen. Where the special measure to be used is a supporter, another person (“the supporter”) nominated by or on behalf of the vulnerable witness in respect of whom the special measure is to be used may be present alongside the witness to support the witness while the witness is giving evidence. Where the person nominated as the supporter is to give evidence at that or any other hearing in the proceedings, that person may not act as the supporter at any time before giving evidence. The supporter shall not prompt or otherwise seek to influence the witness in the course of giving evidence. This section applies where the special measure to be used in respect of a vulnerable witness is giving evidence in chief in the form of a prior statement. A statement made by the vulnerable witness which is lodged in evidence for the purposes of this section by or on behalf of the party citing the vulnerable witness shall, subject to subsection (3) below, be admissible as the witness’s evidence in chief, or as part of the witness’s evidence in chief, without the witness being required to adopt or otherwise speak to the statement in giving evidence in court. Section 260 of this Act shall apply to a statement lodged for the purposes of this section as it applies to a prior statement referred to in that section but as if— references to a prior statement were references to the statement lodged for the purposes of this section, in subsection (1), the words “where a witness gives evidence in criminal proceedings” were omitted, and in subsection (2), paragraph (b) were omitted. This section does not affect the admissibility of any statement made by any person which is admissible otherwise than by virtue of this section. In this section, “statement” has the meaning given in section 262(1) of this Act. A court may make an order requiring such specified measures to be taken in relation to a witness in criminal proceedings as the court considers appropriate to ensure that the identity of the witness is not disclosed in or in connection with the proceedings. The court may make such an order only on an application made in accordance with sections 271P and 271Q, if satisfied of the conditions set out in section 271R having considered the matters set out in section 271S. The kinds of measures that may be required to be taken in relation to a witness include in particular measures for securing one or more of the matters mentioned in subsection (4). that the witness's name and other identifying details may be— withheld, removed from materials disclosed to any party to the proceedings, that the witness may use a pseudonym, that the witness is not asked questions of any specified description that might lead to the identification of the witness, that the witness is screened to any specified extent, that the witness's voice is subjected to modulation to any specified extent. Nothing in this section authorises the court to require— the witness to be screened to such an extent that the witness cannot be seen by the judge or the jury, the witness's voice to be modulated to such an extent that the witness's natural voice cannot be heard by the judge or the jury. An order made under this section is referred to in this Act as a “witness anonymity order”. In this section “specified” means specified in the order concerned. An application for a witness anonymity order to be made in relation to a witness in criminal proceedings may be made to the court by the prosecutor or the accused. Where an application is made by the prosecutor, the prosecutor— must (unless the court directs otherwise) inform the court of the identity of the witness, but is not required to disclose in connection with the application— the identity of the witness, or any information that might enable the witness to be identified, to any other party to the proceedings (or to the legal representatives of any other party to the proceedings). Where an application is made by the accused, the accused— must inform the court and the prosecutor of the identity of the witness, but if there is more than one accused, is not required to disclose in connection with the application— to any other accused (or to the legal representatives of any other accused). Subsections (5) and (6) apply where the prosecutor or the accused proposes to make an application under this section in respect of a witness. Any relevant information which is disclosed by or on behalf of that party before the determination of the application must be disclosed in such a way as to prevent— from being disclosed except as required by subsection (2)(a) or (3)(a). Despite any provision in this Act to the contrary, any relevant list, application or notice lodged, made or given by that party before the determination of the application must not— disclose the identity of the witness, or contain any other information that might enable the witness to be identified, but the list, application or notice must, instead, refer to the witness by a pseudonym. “Relevant information” means any document or other material which falls to be disclosed, or is sought to be relied on, by or on behalf of the party concerned in connection with the proceedings or proceedings preliminary to them. “Relevant list, application or notice” means— a list of witnesses, a list of productions, a notice under section 67(5) or 78(4) relating to the witness, a motion or application under section 268, 269 or 270 relating to the witness, any other motion, application or notice relating to the witness. The court must give every party to the proceedings the opportunity to be heard on an application under this section. Subsection (9) does not prevent the court from hearing one or more of the parties to the proceedings in the absence of an accused and the accused's legal representatives, if it appears to the court to be appropriate to do so in the circumstances of the case. Nothing in this section is to be taken as restricting any power to make rules of court. In proceedings on indictment, an application under section 271P is a preliminary issue (and sections 79 and 87A and other provisions relating to preliminary issues apply accordingly). No application under section 271P may be made in summary proceedings by any party unless notice of the party's intention to do so has been given— if an intermediate diet has been fixed, before that diet, if no intermediate diet has been fixed, before the commencement of the trial. Subsection (2) is subject to subsections (4) and (8). In summary proceedings in which an intermediate diet has been fixed, the court may, on cause shown, grant leave for an application under section 271P to be made without notice having been given in accordance with subsection (2)(a). the court grants leave for a party to make an application under section 271P without notice having been given in accordance with subsection (2)(a), or notice of a party's intention to make such an application is given in accordance with subsection (2)(b). The application must be disposed of before the commencement of the trial. Subsection (8) applies where a motion or application is made under section 268, 269 or 270 to lead the evidence of a witness. Despite section 79(1) and subsection (2) above, an application under section 271P may be made in respect of the witness at the same time as the motion or application under section 268, 269 or 270 is made. The application must be determined by the court before continuing with the trial. Where an application is made under section 271P, the court may postpone or adjourn (or further adjourn) the trial diet. In this section, “ commencement of the trial ” means the time when the first witness for the prosecution is sworn. This section applies where an application is made for a witness anonymity order to be made in relation to a witness in criminal proceedings. The court may make the order only if it is satisfied that Conditions A to D below are met. Condition A is that the proposed order is necessary— in order to protect the safety of the witness or another person or to prevent any serious damage to property, or in order to prevent real harm to the public interest (whether affecting the carrying on of any activities in the public interest or the safety of a person involved in carrying on such activities or otherwise). Condition B is that, having regard to all the circumstances, the effect of the proposed order would be consistent with the accused's receiving a fair trial. Condition C is that the importance of the witness's testimony is such that in the interests of justice the witness ought to testify. Condition D is that— the witness would not testify if the proposed order were not made, or there would be real harm to the public interest if the witness were to testify without the proposed order being made. In determining whether the measures to be specified in the order are necessary for the purpose mentioned in subsection (3)(a), the court must have regard in particular to any reasonable fear on the part of the witness— that the witness or another person would suffer death or injury, or that there would be serious damage to property, if the witness were to be identified. When deciding whether Conditions A to D in section 271R are met in the case of an application for a witness anonymity order, the court must have regard to— the considerations mentioned in subsection (2), and such other matters as the court considers relevant. The considerations are— the general right of an accused in criminal proceedings to know the identity of a witness in the proceedings, the extent to which the credibility of the witness concerned would be a relevant factor when the witness's evidence comes to be assessed, whether evidence given by the witness might be material in implicating the accused, whether the witness's evidence could be properly tested (whether on grounds of credibility or otherwise) without the witness's identity being disclosed, whether there is any reason to believe that the witness— has a tendency to be dishonest, or has any motive to be dishonest in the circumstances of the case, having regard in particular to any previous convictions of the witness , including any convictions by a court in any part of the United Kingdom or in any member State of the European Union, and to any relationship between the witness and the accused or any associates of the accused, whether it would be reasonably practicable to protect the witness's identity by any means other than by making a witness anonymity order specifying the measures that are under consideration by the court. Subsection (2) applies where, in a trial on indictment, any evidence has been given by a witness at a time when a witness anonymity order applied to the witness. The judge must give the jury such direction as the judge considers appropriate to ensure that the fact that the order was made in relation to the witness does not prejudice the accused. This section applies where a court has made a witness anonymity order in relation to any criminal proceedings. The court may discharge or vary (or further vary) the order if it appears to the court to be appropriate to do so in view of the provisions of sections 271R and 271S that applied to the making of the order. The court may do so— on an application made by a party to the proceedings if there has been a material change of circumstances since the relevant time, or The court must give every party to the proceedings the opportunity to be heard— before determining an application made to it under subsection (3)(a), and before discharging or varying the order on its own initiative. Subsection (4) does not prevent the court from hearing one or more of the parties to the proceedings in the absence of an accused and the accused's legal representatives, if it appears to the court to be appropriate to do so in the circumstances of the case. In subsection (3)(a) “the relevant time” means— the time when the order was made, or if a previous application has been made under that subsection, the time when the application (or the last application) was made. The prosecutor or the accused may appeal to the appropriate Appeal Court against— the making of a witness anonymity order under section 271N, the kinds of measures that are required to be taken in relation to a witness under a witness anonymity order made under that section, the refusal to make a witness anonymity order under that section, the discharge of a witness anonymity order under section 271U, the variation of a witness anonymity order under that section, or the refusal to discharge or vary a witness anonymity order under that section. The appeal may be brought only with the leave of the court of first instance, granted— on the motion of the party making the appeal, or The procedure in relation to the appeal is to be prescribed by Act of Adjournal. If an appeal is brought under this section— the period between the lodging of the appeal and its determination does not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case, the court of first instance or the appropriate Appeal Court may do either or both of the following— postpone or adjourn (or further adjourn) the trial diet, extend any time limit applying in respect of the case. An appeal under this section does not affect any right of appeal in relation to any other decision of any court in the criminal proceedings. in the case of an appeal under this section against a decision made in proceedings on indictment, the High Court; in the case of an appeal under this section against a decision made in summary proceedings, the Sheriff Appeal Court. an appeal is brought under section 271V(1)(a) against the making of a witness anonymity order, and the court hearing the appeal determines that the decision of the judge at first instance was wrong in law. The court hearing the appeal must discharge the order and the trial is to proceed as if the order had not been made. an appeal is brought under section 271V(1)(c) against the refusal to make a witness anonymity order in relation to a witness in criminal proceedings, and The court hearing the appeal must make an order requiring such specified measures to be taken in relation to the witness in the proceedings as the court considers appropriate to ensure that the identity of the witness is not disclosed in or in connection with the proceedings. an appeal is brought under section 271V(1)(e) against a variation of a witness anonymity order, and The court hearing the appeal must discharge the variation. If the court hearing the appeal determines that it is appropriate to make an additional variation in view of the provisions of sections 271R and 271S, the court may do so. an appeal is brought under section 271V(1)(f) against a refusal to discharge or vary a witness anonymity order, and The court hearing the appeal must discharge the order, or make the variation, as the case requires. If, in the case of a variation, the court hearing the appeal determines that it is appropriate to make an additional variation in view of the provisions of sections 271R and 271S, the court may do so. In any criminal proceedings in the High Court or the sheriff court the prosecutor or the defence may, at an appropriate time, apply to a judge of the court in which the trial is to take place (or, if that is not yet known, to a judge of the High Court) for— the issue of a letter of request to a court, or tribunal, exercising jurisdiction in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man for the examination of a witness resident in that country or territory; or the appointment of a commissioner to examine, at any place in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, or Isle of Man, a witness who— by reason of being ill or infirm is unable to attend the trial diet; or is not ordinarily resident in, and is, at the time of the trial diet, unlikely to be present in, the United Kingdom, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. A hearing, as regards any application under subsection (1) above by a party, shall be conducted in chambers but may be dispensed with if the application is not opposed.

An application under subsection (1) above may be granted only if the judge is satisfied that— the evidence which it is averred the witness is able to give is necessary for the proper adjudication of the trial; and there would be no unfairness to the other party were such evidence to be received in the form of the record of an examination conducted by virtue of that subsection. Any such record as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above shall, without being sworn to by witnesses, be received in evidence in so far as it either accords with the averment mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection or can be so received without unfairness to either party. Where any such record as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (3) above, or any part of such record, is not a document in writing, that record or part shall not be received in evidence under subsection (4) above unless it is accompanied by a transcript of its contents. The procedure as regards the foregoing provisions of this section shall be prescribed by Act of Adjournal; and without prejudice to the generality of the power to make it, such an Act of Adjournal may provide for the appointment of a person before whom evidence may be taken for the purposes of this section. In subsection (1) above, “appropriate time” means as regards— solemn proceedings, any time before the oath is administered to the jury; summary proceedings, any time before the first witness is sworn, or (but only in relation to an application under paragraph (b) of that subsection) any time during the course of the trial if the circumstances on which the application is based had not arisen, or would not have merited such application, within the period mentioned in paragraph (a) or, as the case may be, (b) of this subsection. In subsection (3) and (4) above, “record” includes, in addition to a document in writing— any disc, tape, soundtrack or other device in which sounds or other data (not being visual images) are recorded so as to be capable (with or without the aid of some other equipment) of being reproduced therefrom; and any film (including microfilm), negative, tape, disc or other device in which one or more visual images are recorded so as to be capable (as aforesaid) of being reproduced therefrom. This section is without prejudice to any existing power at common law to adjourn a trial diet to the place where a witness is. 275C; and 288C, of this Act apply in relation to proceedings in which a commissioner examines a witness under subsection (1)(b) above as they apply in relation to a trial. in those sections, except section 275(3)(e), to the court, In a case where it falls to the court to appoint a commissioner for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above, the commissioner shall be a person described in subsection (13) below. where the proceedings before the commissioner are for the purposes of a trial in the High Court, a judge of the High Court; or In any criminal proceedings in the High Court or the sheriff court a person other than the accused may give evidence through a live television link if— the witness is outside the United Kingdom; an application under subsection (2) below for the issue of a letter of request has been granted; and the court is satisfied as to the arrangements for the giving of evidence in that manner by that witness. The prosecutor or the defence in any proceedings referred to in subsection (1) above may apply to a judge of the court in which the trial is to take place (or, if that court is not yet known, to a judge of the High Court) for the issue of a letter of request to— a court or tribunal exercising jurisdiction in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom where a witness is ordinarily resident; or any authority which the judge is satisfied is recognised by the government of that country or territory as the appropriate authority for receiving requests for assistance in facilitating the giving of evidence through a live television link, requesting assistance in facilitating the giving of evidence by that witness through a live television link. An application under subsection (2) above shall be granted only if the judge is satisfied that— the granting of the application — is in the interests of justice; and in the case of an application by the prosecutor, is not unfair to the accused. the witness is within the United Kingdom but outside Scotland, an application under this section for the issue of a letter of request has been granted, and The prosecutor or the defence in any proceedings referred to in subsection (1) may apply for the issue of a letter of request. The application must be made to a judge of the court in which the trial is to take place or, if that court is not yet known, to a judge of the High Court. The judge may, on an application under this section, issue a letter to a court or tribunal exercising jurisdiction in the place where the witness is ordinarily resident requesting assistance in facilitating the giving of evidence by that witness through a live television link, if the judge is satisfied of the matters set out in subsection (5). that the evidence which it is averred the witness is able to give is necessary for the proper adjudication of the trial, that the granting of the application— is in the interests of justice, and In the trial of a person charged with an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, the court shall not admit, or allow questioning designed to elicit, evidence which shows or tends to show that the complainer— is not of good character (whether in relation to sexual matters or otherwise); has, at any time, engaged in sexual behaviour not forming part of the subject matter of the charge; has, at any time (other than shortly before, at the same time as or shortly after the acts which form part of the subject matter of the charge), engaged in such behaviour, not being sexual behaviour, as might found the inference that the complainer— is likely to have consented to those acts; or is not a credible or reliable witness; or has, at any time, been subject to any such condition or predisposition as might found the inference referred to in sub-paragraph (c) above. In subsection (1) above— “complainer” means the person against whom the offence referred to in that subsection is alleged to have been committed; and the reference to engaging in sexual behaviour includes a reference to undergoing or being made subject to any experience of a sexual nature. The court may, on application made to it, admit such evidence or allow such questioning as is referred to in subsection (1) of section 274 of this Act if satisfied that— the evidence or questioning will relate only to a specific occurrence or occurrences of sexual or other behaviour or to specific facts demonstrating— the complainer’s character; or any condition or predisposition to which the complainer is or has been subject; that occurrence or those occurrences of behaviour or facts are relevant to establishing whether the accused is guilty of the offence with which he is charged; and the probative value of the evidence sought to be admitted or elicited is significant and is likely to outweigh any risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice arising from its being admitted or elicited. the reference to an occurrence or occurrences of sexual behaviour includes a reference to undergoing or being made subject to any experience of a sexual nature; “the proper administration of justice” includes— appropriate protection of a complainer’s dignity and privacy; and ensuring that the facts and circumstances of which a jury is made aware are, in cases of offences to which section 288C of this Act applies, relevant to an issue which is to be put before the jury and commensurate to the importance of that issue to the jury’s verdict, and, in that subsection and in sub-paragraph (i) of paragraph (b) above, “complainer” has the same meaning as in section 274 of this Act. An application for the purposes of subsection (1) above shall be in writing and shall set out— the evidence sought to be admitted or elicited; the nature of any questioning proposed; the issues at the trial to which that evidence is considered to be relevant; the reasons why that evidence is considered relevant to those issues; the inferences which the applicant proposes to submit to the court that it should draw from that evidence; and such other information as is of a kind specified for the purposes of this paragraph in Act of Adjournal. The party making such an application shall, when making it, send a copy of it— when that party is the prosecutor, to the accused; and when that party is the accused, to the prosecutor and any co-accused. The court may reach a decision under subsection (1) above without considering any evidence; but, where it takes evidence for the purposes of reaching that decision, it shall do so as if determining the admissibility of evidence. The court shall state its reasons for its decision under subsection (1) above, and may make that decision subject to conditions which may include compliance with directions issued by it. Where a court admits evidence or allows questioning under subsection (1) above, its decision to do so shall include a statement— of what items of evidence it is admitting or lines of questioning it is allowing; of the reasons for its conclusion that the evidence to be admitted or to be elicited by the questioning is admissible; of the issues at the trial to which it considers that that evidence is relevant. A condition under subsection (6) above may consist of a limitation on the extent to which evidence— to be admitted; or to be elicited by questioning to be allowed, may be argued to support a particular inference specified in the condition. Where evidence is admitted or questioning allowed under this section, the court at any time may— as it thinks fit; and notwithstanding the terms of its decision under subsection (1) above or any condition under subsection (6) above, limit the extent of evidence to be admitted or questioning to be allowed. Where, under section 275 of this Act, a court (or, in proceedings before a commissioner appointed under section 271I(1) or by virtue of section 272(1)(b) of this Act, a commissioner) on the application of the accused allows such questioning or admits such evidence as is referred to in section 274(1) of this Act, the prosecutor shall forthwith place before the presiding judge any previous relevant conviction of the accused. Subject to subsection (2A) any conviction placed before the judge under subsection (1) above shall, unless the accused objects, be— in proceedings on indictment, laid before the jury; in summary proceedings, taken into consideration by the judge. Where the conviction is a relevant conviction by virtue of subsection (10)(aa)(ii), subsection (2) applies only if the judge considers it appropriate. An extract of a conviction referred to in subsection (2) may not be laid before the jury or taken into consideration by the judge unless such an extract was appended to the notice, served on the accused under section 69(2) or, as the case may be, 166(2) of this Act, which specified that conviction. An objection under subsection (2) above may be made only on one or more of the following grounds— where the conviction bears to be a relevant conviction by virtue only of paragraph (b) of subsection (10) below, that there was not a substantial sexual element present in the commission of the offence for which the accused has been convicted; that the disclosure or, as the case may be, the taking into consideration of the conviction would be contrary to the interests of justice; in proceedings on indictment, that the conviction does not apply to the accused or is otherwise inadmissible; in summary proceedings, that the accused does not admit the conviction. an objection is made on one or more of the grounds mentioned in paragraphs (b) to (d) of subsection (4) above; and an extract of the conviction in respect of which the objection is made was not appended to the notice, served on the accused under section 69(2) or, as the case may be, 166(2) above, which specified that conviction, the prosecutor may, notwithstanding subsection (3) above, place such an extract conviction before the judge. In summary proceedings, the judge may, notwithstanding subsection (2)(b) above, take into consideration any extract placed before him under subsection (5) above for the purposes only of considering the objection in respect of which the extract is disclosed. In entertaining an objection on the ground mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (4) above, the court shall, unless the contrary is shown, presume that the disclosure, or, as the case may be, the taking into consideration, of a conviction is in the interests of justice. An objection on the ground mentioned in paragraph (c) of subsection (4) above shall not be entertained unless the accused has, under subsection (2) of section 69 of this Act, given intimation of the objection in accordance with subsection (3) of that section. In entertaining an objection on the ground mentioned in paragraph (d) of subsection (4) above, the court shall require the prosecutor to withdraw the conviction or adduce evidence in proof thereof. For the purposes of this section a “relevant conviction” is, subject to subsection (11) below— a conviction for an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies by virtue of subsection (2) thereof; . . . a conviction by a court in— England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or a member State of the European Union, of an offence that is equivalent to one to which section 288C of this Act applies by virtue of subsection (2) thereof, or where a substantial sexual element was present in the commission of any other offence in respect of which the accused has previously been convicted, a conviction for that offence, which is specified in a notice served on the accused under section 69(2) or, as the case may be, 166(2) of this Act. Any issue of equivalence arising in pursuance of subsection (10)(aa) is for the court to determine. A conviction for an offence other than an offence to which section 288C of this Act applies by virtue of subsection (2) thereof is not a relevant conviction for the purposes of this section unless an extract of that conviction containing information which indicates that a sexual element was present in the commission of the offence was appended to the notice, served on the accused under section 69(2) or, as the case may be, 166(2) of this Act, which specified that conviction. An application for the purposes of subsection (1) of section 275 of this Act shall not, unless on special cause shown, be considered by the court unless made in the case of proceedings in the High Court, not less than 7 clear days before the preliminary hearing; or in any other case, not less than 14 clear days before the trial diet. such an application is considered; or any objection under subsection (2) of section 275A of this Act is entertained, during the course of the trial, the court shall consider that application or, as the case may be, entertain that objection in the absence of the jury, the complainer, any person cited as a witness and the public. This section applies in the case of proceedings in respect of any— offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, Expert psychological or psychiatric evidence relating to any subsequent behaviour or statement of the complainer is admissible for the purpose of rebutting any inference adverse to the complainer’s credibility or reliability as a witness which might otherwise be drawn from the behaviour or statement. In subsection (2) above— “subsequent behaviour or statement” means any behaviour or statement subsequent to, and not forming part of the acts constituting, the offence to which the proceedings relate and which is not otherwise relevant to any fact in issue at the trial. Where the offence is as referred to in subsection (1)(b) above, the reference in the last definition in subsection (3) above to any behaviour or statement subsequent to the offence includes any behaviour or statement subsequent to a particular part of the course of behaviour of which the offence consists. This section does not affect the admissibility of any evidence which is admissible otherwise than by virtue of this section. Evidence as to the characteristics and composition of any biological material deriving from human beings or animals shall, in any criminal proceedings, be admissible notwithstanding that neither the material nor a sample of it is lodged as a production. A party wishing to lead such evidence as is referred to in subsection (1) above shall, where neither the material nor a sample of it is lodged as a production, make the material or a sample of it available for inspection by the other party unless the material constitutes a hazard to health or has been destroyed in the process of analysis. Subject to subsection (2) below, for the purposes of any criminal proceedings, a document certified by the person who made it as an accurate transcript made for the prosecutor of the contents of a tape (identified by means of a label) purporting to be a recording of an interview between— a police officer and an accused person; ... a person commissioned, appointed or authorised under section 6(3) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 and an accused person; or a person authorised by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency under section 108 of the Environment Protection Act 1995 and an accused person. shall be received in evidence and be sufficient evidence of the making of the transcript and of its accuracy. Subsection (1) above shall not apply to a transcript— unless a copy of it has been served on the accused not less than 14 days before his trial; or if the accused, not less than in the case of proceedings in the High Court, seven days before the preliminary hearing; in any other case, six days before his trial; or (in either case) by such later time before his trial as the court may in special circumstances allow, has served notice on the prosecutor that the accused challenges the making of the transcript or its accuracy. A copy of the transcript or a notice under subsection (2) above shall be served in such manner as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal; and a written execution purporting to be signed by the person who served the transcript or notice, together with, where appropriate, the relevant post office receipt shall be sufficient evidence of such service. Where subsection (1) above does not apply to a transcript, if the person who made the transcript is called as a witness his evidence shall be sufficient evidence of the making of the transcript and of its accuracy. Subsection (1) is without prejudice to section 108(12) of the Environment Act 1995. Schedule 8 to this Act, which makes provision regarding the admissibility in criminal proceedings of copy documents and of evidence contained in business documents, shall have effect. Any letter, minute or other official document issuing from the office of or in the custody of any of the departments of state or government in the United Kingdom or any part of the Scottish Administration which— is required to be produced in evidence in any prosecution; and according to the rules and regulations applicable to such departments may competently be so produced, shall when so produced be prima facie evidence of the matters contained in it without being produced or sworn to by any witness. A copy of any such document as is mentioned in subsection (1) above bearing to be certified by any person having authority to certify it shall be treated as equivalent to the original of that document and no proof of the signature of the person certifying the copy or of his authority to certify it shall be necessary. Any order by any of the departments of state or government or the Scottish Parliament or any local authority or public body made under powers conferred by any statute or a print or a copy of such an order, shall when produced in a prosecution be received as evidence of the due making, confirmation, and existence of the order without being sworn to by any witness and without any further or other proof. Subsection (3) above is without prejudice to any right competent to the accused to challenge any order such as is mentioned in that subsection as being ultra vires of the authority making it or on any other competent ground. Where an order such as is mentioned in subsection (3) above is referred to in the indictment or, as the case may be, the complaint, it shall not be necessary to enter it in the record of the proceedings as a documentary production. The provisions of this section are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any powers of proving documents conferred by statute or existing at common law. For the purposes of any proceedings for an offence under any of the enactments specified in column 1 of Schedule 9 to this Act, a certificate purporting to be signed by a person or persons specified in column 2 thereof, and certifying the matter specified in column 3 thereof shall, subject to subsection (6) below, be sufficient evidence of that matter and of the qualification or authority of that person or those persons. amend or repeal the entry in Schedule 9 to this Act in respect of any enactment; or insert in that Schedule an entry in respect of a further enactment. An order under subsection (2) above may make such transitional, incidental or supplementary provision as the Secretary of State considers necessary or expedient in connection with the coming into force of the order. For the purposes of any criminal proceedings, a report purporting to be signed by a person authorised by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency for the purpose of this subsection is sufficient evidence of any fact or conclusion as to fact contained in the report and of the authority of the signatory.

The Lord Advocate shall enter upon the duties of his office immediately upon the grant of his warrant of appointment; . . .. In any proceeding in the High Court (other than a proceeding to which the Lord Advocate or a procurator fiscal is a party) it shall be competent for the court to order intimation of such proceeding to the Lord Advocate. On intimation being made to the Lord Advocate under subsection (1) above, the Lord Advocate shall be entitled to appear and be heard in such proceeding. The Advocate General for Scotland may take part as a party in criminal proceedings so far as they relate to a compatibility issue. In this section “compatibility issue” means a question, arising in criminal proceedings, as to— whether a public authority has acted (or proposes to act)— in a way which is made unlawful by section 6(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998, or whether an Act of the Scottish Parliament or any provision of an Act of the Scottish Parliament is incompatible with any of the Convention rights ...). “public authority” has the same meaning as in section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998; references to acting include failing to act; Where a compatibility issue has arisen in criminal proceedings before a court, other than a court consisting of two or more judges of the High Court, the court may, instead of determining it, refer the issue to the High Court. The Lord Advocate or the Advocate General for Scotland, if a party to criminal proceedings before a court, other than a court consisting of two or more judges of the High Court, may require the court to refer to the High Court any compatibility issue which has arisen in the proceedings. The High Court may, instead of determining a compatibility issue referred to it under subsection (2), refer it to the Supreme Court. Where a compatibility issue has arisen in criminal proceedings before a court consisting of two or more judges of the High Court, otherwise than on a reference, the court may, instead of determining it, refer it to the Supreme Court. The Lord Advocate or the Advocate General for Scotland, if a party to criminal proceedings before a court consisting of two or more judges of the High Court, may require the court to refer to the Supreme Court any compatibility issue which has arisen in the proceedings otherwise than on a reference. On a reference to the Supreme Court under this section— the powers of the Supreme Court are exercisable only for the purpose of determining the compatibility issue; for that purpose the Court may make any change in the formulation of that issue that it thinks necessary in the interests of justice. When it has determined a compatibility issue on a reference under this section, the Supreme Court must remit the proceedings to the High Court. An issue referred to the High Court or the Supreme Court under this section is referred to it for determination. In this section “compatibility issue” has the meaning given by section 288ZA. a person is acquitted or convicted of a charge (whether on indictment or in summary proceedings), and the Advocate General for Scotland was a party to the proceedings .... Where the Advocate General for Scotland was a party in pursuance of paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998 (devolution issues), the Advocate General may refer to the High Court for their opinion any devolution issue which has arisen in the proceedings. Where the Advocate General for Scotland was a party in pursuance of section 288ZA, the Advocate General may refer to the High Court for their opinion any compatibility issue (within the meaning of that section) which has arisen in the proceedings. If a reference is made under subsection (2) or (2A) the Clerk of Justiciary shall send to the person acquitted or convicted and to any solicitor who acted for that person at the trial a copy of the reference and intimation of the date fixed by the Court for a hearing. The person may, not later than seven days before the date so fixed, intimate in writing to the Clerk of Justiciary and to the Advocate General for Scotland either— that he elects to appear personally at the hearing, or that he elects to be represented by counsel at the hearing, Where there is no intimation under subsection (3)(b), the High Court shall appoint counsel to act at the hearing as amicus curiae. The costs of representation elected under subsection (3)(b) or of an appointment under subsection (4) shall, after being taxed by the Auditor of the Court of Session, be paid by the Advocate General for Scotland out of money provided by Parliament. The opinion on the point referred under subsection (2) or (2A) shall not affect the acquittal or (as the case may be) conviction in the trial. For the purpose of determining any compatibility issue an appeal lies to the Supreme Court against a determination in criminal proceedings by a court of two or more judges of the High Court. On an appeal under this section— When it has determined the compatibility issue the Supreme Court must remit the proceedings to the High Court. In this section “compatibility issue” has the same meaning as in section 288ZA. An appeal under this section against a determination lies only with the permission of the High Court or, failing that permission, with the permission of the Supreme Court. Subsection (5) does not apply if it is an appeal by the Lord Advocate or the Advocate General for Scotland against a determination by the High Court of a compatibility issue referred to it under section 288ZB(2). An application to the High Court for permission under subsection (5) must be made— within 28 days of the date of the determination against which the appeal lies, or within such longer period as the High Court considers equitable having regard to all the circumstances. An application to the Supreme Court for permission under subsection (5) must be made— within 28 days of the date on which the High Court refused permission under that subsection, or within such longer period as the Supreme Court considers equitable having regard to all the circumstances.

In this section and section 288AC, “UNCRC compatibility issue” means a question, arising in criminal proceedings as to— whether words in an enactment to which section 29 or 30 of the UNCRC Incorporation Act applies give rise to an incompatibility with the UNCRC requirements, whether a public authority has acted (or proposed to act) in a way which is made unlawful by section 6(1) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act. “public authority” has the same meaning as in section 6(5) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act, “the UNCRC requirements” has the meaning given in section 1(2) of that Act, “UNCRC Incorporation Act” means the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024. Where a UNCRC compatibility issue has arisen in criminal proceedings before a court, other than a court consisting of 2 or more judges of the High Court, the court may, instead of determining it, refer the issue to the High Court. The Lord Advocate, if a party to criminal proceedings before a court, other than a court consisting of 2 or more judges of the High Court, may require the court to refer to the High Court any UNCRC compatibility issue which has arisen in the proceedings. The High Court may, instead of determining a UNCRC compatibility issue referred to it under subsection (4), refer it to the Supreme Court. Where a UNCRC compatibility issue has arisen in criminal proceedings before a court consisting of 2 or more judges of the High Court, otherwise than on a reference, the court may, instead of determining it, refer it to the Supreme Court. The Lord Advocate, if a party to criminal proceedings before a court consisting of 2 or more judges of the High Court, may require the court to refer to the Supreme Court any UNCRC compatibility issue which has arisen in the proceedings otherwise than on a reference. the powers of the Supreme Court are exercisable only for the purpose of determining the UNCRC compatibility issue, For the purpose of determining any UNCRC compatibility issue an appeal lies to the Supreme Court against a determination in criminal proceedings by a court of 2 or more judges of the High Court. When it has determined the UNCRC compatibility issue, the Supreme Court must remit the proceedings to the High Court. An appeal under this section against a determination lies only— with the permission of the High Court, or if the High Court has refused permission, with the permission of the Supreme Court. Subsection (4) does not apply if it is an appeal by the Lord Advocate against a determination by the High Court of a UNCRC compatibility issue referred to it under section 288AB(4). An application to the High Court for permission under subsection (4)(a) must be made— An application to the Supreme Court for permission under subsection (4)(b) must be made— within 28 days of the date on which the High Court refused permission under subsection (4)(b), or This section applies where the Supreme Court determines an appeal under section 288AA or 288AC of this Act or paragraph 13(a) of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998 against a determination ... by the High Court in the ordinary course of proceedings. The determination of the appeal shall not affect any earlier acquittal or earlier quashing of any conviction in the proceedings. Subject to subsection (2) above, the High Court shall have the same powers in relation to the proceedings when remitted to it by the Supreme Court as it would have if it were considering the proceedings otherwise than as a trial court. by virtue of section 7(1)(b) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act, a UNCRC compatibility issue has arisen— in criminal proceedings brought against a person who is a child, or who was a child at the time the proceedings were brought, otherwise than in connection with an appeal against conviction or an appeal against both conviction and sentence, in determining the UNCRC compatibility issue, a court finds that the prosecutor, by bringing criminal proceedings against the person, has acted in a way which is made unlawful by section 6(1) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act, and by reason only of the finding mentioned in paragraph (b), a court is considering— deserting the proceedings pro loco et tempore or simpliciter, or dismissing the indictment or (as the case may be) the complaint or any part of it. Despite section 8(1) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act, a court— may not— desert the proceedings pro loco et tempore or simpliciter, except on the motion of the prosecutor, or dismiss the indictment or (as the case may be) the complaint or any part of it, but must instead— give the prosecutor an opportunity to reconsider the bringing of criminal proceedings against the person in a way which is compatible with the UNCRC requirements, adjourn or continue the proceedings to another diet to allow such reconsideration, and following any such reconsideration, decide whether the bringing of criminal proceedings against the person is compatible with the UNCRC requirements. But a court is not required to act in accordance with subsection (2) if— it considers that there is no reasonable prospect of the bringing of criminal proceedings against the person being reconsidered in a way which is compatible with the UNCRC requirements, it considers that there are exceptional circumstances which justify not doing so, or it decides under subsection (2)(b)(iii) that the bringing of criminal proceedings against the person is incompatible with the UNCRC requirements. Subsection (5) applies where— the court adjourns or continues the proceedings in accordance with subsection (2)(b)(ii), or by virtue of subsection (3), the court decides to desert the proceedings pro loco et tempore. Before adjourning or continuing the proceedings or (as the case may be) deserting the proceedings pro loco et tempore, the court must give the prosecutor an opportunity— in solemn proceedings, to make an application under section 65(3) or (5) for an extension of any of the following periods which apply in respect of the proceedings— the periods of 11 months and 12 months mentioned in section 65(1), including those periods as extended under section 65(3), on appeal under section 65(8) or under section 74(4)(c), the periods of 80 days, 110 days and 140 days mentioned in section 65(4), including those periods as extended under section 65(5) or on appeal under section 65(8), in summary proceedings in respect of which the period of 40 days mentioned in section 147(1) applies, to make an application under section 147(2) for an extension of that period, including that period as extended under section 147(2) or on appeal under section 147(3). For the purposes of subsection (1)(a)(i), the proceedings are taken to be brought— in solemn proceedings, on the date on which the indictment is served, in a case where a warrant to apprehend or cite the accused is granted, on the date on which the warrant is granted, or in any other case, on the date on which the complaint is served. “prosecutor” does not include a private prosecutor, “the UNCRC requirements” has the meaning given in section 1(2) of the UNCRC Incorporation Act, “UNCRC compatibility issue” means a question of the kind mentioned in section 288AB(1)(b), An indictment or a complaint may include a docket which specifies any act or omission that is connected with a sexual offence charged in the indictment or complaint. Here, an act or omission is connected with such an offence charged if it— is specifiable by way of reference to a sexual offence, and relates to— the same event as the offence charged, or a series of events of which that offence is also part. The docket is to be in the form of a note apart from the offence charged. It does not matter whether the act or omission, if it were instead charged as an offence, could not competently be dealt with by the court (including as particularly constituted) in which the indictment or complaint is proceeding. Where under subsection (1) a docket is included in an indictment or a complaint, it is to be presumed that— the accused person has been given fair notice of the prosecutor's intention to lead evidence of the act or omission specified in the docket, and evidence of the act or omission is admissible as relevant. The references in this section to a sexual offence are to— an offence under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009, any other offence involving a significant sexual element. An indictment or a complaint may include a charge that is framed as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) (or both). That is, framed so as to comprise (in a combined form) the specification of more than one sexual offence. That is, framed so as to— specify, in addition to a sexual offence, any other act or omission, and do so in any manner except by way of reference to a statutory offence. Where a charge in an indictment or a complaint is framed as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) (or both), the charge is to be regarded as being a single yet cumulative charge. The references in this section to a sexual offence are to an offence under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009. Subsection (2) applies as respects a qualifying offence charged in an indictment or a complaint. Any specification in the charge that the offence is with intent to rape (however construed) may be given by referring to the statutory offence of rape. the reference to a qualifying offence is to an offence of assault or abduction (and includes attempt, conspiracy or incitement to commit such an offence), the reference to the statutory offence of rape is (as the case may be) to— An accused charged with a sexual offence to which this section applies is prohibited from conducting his case in person at, or for the purposes of, any relevant hearing in the course of proceedings (other than proceedings in a JP court) in respect of the offence. In subsection (1), “relevant hearing” means a hearing at, or for the purposes of, which a witness is to give evidence. This section applies to the following sexual offences— rape (whether at common law or under section 1(1) of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (asp 9)); abduction of a woman or girl with intent to rape; assault with intent to rape; indecent behaviour (including any lewd, indecent or libidinous practice or behaviour); an offence under section 311 (non-consensual sexual acts) or 313 (persons providing care services: sexual offences) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003; an offence under any of the following provisions of the Criminal Law (Consolidation)(Scotland) Act 1995 (c.39)— sections 1 to 3 (incest and related offences); section 5 (unlawful sexual intercourse with girl under 13 or 16); section 6 (indecent behaviour toward girl between 12 and 16); section 7(2) and (3)(procuring by threats etc. ); section 8 (abduction and unlawful detention); section 10 (seduction, prostitution, etc. of girl under 16); section 13(5)(b) or (c)(homosexual offences); an offence under any of the following provisions of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (asp 9)— section 7(1) (communicating indecently), section 7(2) (causing a person to see or hear an indecent communication), section 24(1) (communicating indecently with a young child), section 24(2) (causing a young child to see or hear an indecent communication), section 34(1) (communicating indecently with an older child), section 34(2) (causing an older child to see or hear an indecent communication), section 37(1) (engaging while an older child in sexual conduct with or towards another older child), section 37(4) (engaging while an older child in consensual sexual conduct with another older child), attempting to commit any of the offences set out in paragraphs (a) to (j). This section applies also to an offence in respect of which a court having jurisdiction to try that offence has made an order under subsection (4) below. Where, in the case of any offence, other than one set out in subsection (2) above, that court is satisfied that there appears to be such a substantial sexual element in the alleged commission of the offence that it ought to be treated, for the purposes of this section, in the same way as an offence set out in that subsection, the court shall, either on the application of the prosecutor or ex proprio motu, make an order under this subsection. The making of such an order does not affect the validity of anything which— was done in relation to the alleged offence to which the order relates; and was done before the order was made. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument vary the sexual offences to which this section applies by virtue of subsection (2) above by modifying that subsection. No such statutory instrument shall be made, however, unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament. the references to “rape” in paragraphs (d) and (e) are to the offence of rape at common law; and the references to “the statutory offence of rape” in paragraphs (da) and (ea) are (as the case may be) to? This section applies in the case of proceedings (other than proceedings in a JP court) in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C above applies. Where the court ascertains that— the accused has not engaged a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at, or for the purposes of, any relevant hearing (within the meaning of section 288C(1A)) in the proceedings; or the conduct of his case at any commissioner proceedings; or having engaged a solicitor for those purposes, the accused has dismissed him; or the accused’s solicitor has withdrawn, then, where the court is not satisfied that the accused intends to engage a solicitor or, as the case may be, another solicitor for those purposes, it shall, at its own hand, appoint a solicitor for those purposes. A solicitor so appointed is not susceptible to dismissal by the accused or obliged to comply with any instruction by the accused to dismiss counsel. Subject to subsection (3) above, it is the duty of a solicitor so appointed— to ascertain and act upon the instructions of the accused; and where the accused gives no instructions or inadequate or perverse instructions, to act in the best interests of the accused. Where the court is satisfied that a solicitor so appointed is no longer able to act upon the instructions, or in the best interests, of the accused, the court may relieve that solicitor of his appointment and appoint another solicitor for the purposes referred to in subsection (2)(a) above. Where, in relation to commissioner proceedings, the commissioner is satisfied that a solicitor so appointed is no longer able to act upon the instructions, or in the best interests, of the accused, the commissioner is (for the purpose of the application of subsection (6) above) to refer the case to the court. The references in subsections (3) to ((6A)) above to “a solicitor so appointed” include references to a solicitor appointed under subsection (6) above. In this section “counsel” includes a solicitor who has right of audience in the High Court of Justiciary under section 25A (rights of audience in various courts including the High Court of Justiciary) of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980 (c.46). In this section, “commissioner proceedings” means proceedings before a commissioner appointed under section 271I(1) or by virtue of section 272(1)(b) of this Act. Subsection (2) applies where, in a trial on indictment for a sexual offence— evidence is given which suggests that the person against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed— did not tell, or delayed in telling, anyone, or a particular person, about the offence, or did not report, or delayed in reporting, the offence to any investigating agency, or a particular investigating agency, or a question is asked, or a statement is made, with a view to eliciting, or drawing attention to, evidence of that nature. In charging the jury, the judge must advise that— there can be good reasons why a person against whom a sexual offence is committed may not tell others about it or report it to an investigating agency, or may delay in doing either of those things, and this does not, therefore, necessarily indicate that an allegation is false. Subsection (2) does not apply if the judge considers that, in the circumstances of the case, no reasonable jury could consider the evidence, question or statement by reason of which subsection (2) would otherwise apply to be material to the question of whether the alleged offence is proved. “investigating agency” means— a police force maintained for the area where the offence is alleged to have been committed, any other person who has functions (to any extent) of investigating crime in the area where the offence is alleged to have been committed, “sexual offence” has the same meaning as in section 210A, except that it does not include— an offence under section 170 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979, or an offence under section 52A of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. evidence is given which suggests that the sexual activity took place without physical resistance on the part of the person against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed, or there can be good reasons why a person against whom a sexual offence is committed might not physically resist the sexual activity, and an absence of physical resistance does not, therefore, necessarily indicate that an allegation is false. Subsection (5) applies where, in a trial on indictment for a sexual offence— evidence is given which suggests that the sexual activity took place without the accused using physical force to overcome the will of the person against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed, or there can be good reasons why a person may, in committing a sexual offence, not need to use physical force to overcome the will of the person against whom the offence is committed, and an absence of physical force does not, therefore, necessarily indicate that an allegation is false. Subsection (5) does not apply if the judge considers that, in the circumstances of the case, no reasonable jury could consider the evidence, question or statement by reason of which subsection (5) would otherwise apply to be material to the question of whether the alleged offence is proved. “sexual activity” means the sexual activity which is the subject of the alleged sexual offence, “sexual offence” means— rape (whether at common law or under section 1(1) of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009), indecent assault, sodomy, clandestine injury to women, an offence under section 2 of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (sexual assault by penetration), an offence under section 3 of that Act (sexual assault), an offence under section 4 of that Act (sexual coercion). An accused in proceedings for an offence to which this section applies is prohibited from conducting the accused's case in person at, or for the purposes of, any relevant hearing in the course of the proceedings. Section 288D applies in the case of proceedings in respect of an offence to which this section applies as it does in the case of proceedings in respect of an offence to which section 288C applies (and a reference in section 288D to a relevant hearing is to be read accordingly). In subsection (2), “relevant hearing” means a hearing at, or for the purposes of, which a witness is to give evidence. This section applies to any proceedings (other than proceedings in the JP court)— in respect of any offence specified in subsection (3) below, and in which a child witness who is under the age of 12 on the date of commencement of the proceedings is to give evidence at or for the purposes of any hearing in the course of the proceedings. The accused is prohibited from conducting his case in person at, or for the purposes of, any hearing at, or for the purposes of, which the child witness is to give evidence. The offences referred to in subsection (2)(a) above are— any offence which— involves an assault on, or injury or threat of injury to, any person (including any offence involving neglect or ill-treatment of, or other cruelty to, a child), but is not an offence to which section 288C or 288DC of this Act applies, abduction, and Section 288D of this Act applies in the case of proceedings to which this section applies as it applies in the case of proceedings in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies and as if references to a relevant hearing were references to a hearing referred to in subsection (2A) above. In proceedings to which this section applies, the prosecutor shall, at the same time as intimating to the accused under section 271A(13) of this Act a vulnerable witness notice in respect of the trial, serve on the accused a notice under subsection (6). A notice under this subsection shall contain intimation to the accused— that his case at, or for the purposes of, any hearing in the course of the proceedings at, or for the purposes of, which the child witness is to give evidence may be conducted only by a lawyer, that it is therefore in his interests, if he has not already done so, to get the professional assistance of a solicitor, and that if he does not engage a solicitor for the purposes of the conduct of his case at or for the purposes of the hearing, the court will do so. A failure to comply with subsection (5) or (6) above does not affect the validity or lawfulness of any vulnerable witness notice or any other element of the proceedings against the accused. For the purposes of subsection (2)(b) above, proceedings shall be taken to have commenced when the indictment or, as the case may be, the complaint is served on the accused. This section applies in the case of proceedings in respect of any offence, other than proceedings— in the JP court, in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies, or in respect of an offence to which section 288DC of this Act applies, to which section 288E of this Act applies, where a vulnerable witness is to give evidence at, or for the purposes of, any hearing in the course of the proceedings. If satisfied that it is in the interests of the vulnerable witness to do so, the court may— on the application of the prosecutor, or make an order prohibiting the accused from conducting his case in person at any hearing at, or for the purposes of, which the vulnerable witness is to give evidence. However, the court shall not make an order under subsection (2) above if it considers that— the order would give rise to a significant risk of prejudice to the fairness of the hearing or otherwise to the interests of justice, and that risk significantly outweighs any risk of prejudice to the interests of the vulnerable witness if the order is not made. The court may make an order under subsection (2) above in relation to a hearing after, as well as before, the hearing has commenced. Section 288D of this Act applies in the case of proceedings in respect of which an order is made under this section as it applies in the case of proceedings in respect of a sexual offence to which section 288C of this Act applies and as if references to a relevant hearing were references to any hearing in respect of which an order is made under this section. The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument provide for any of sections— 271 to 271M, 288E, and of this Act to apply, subject to such modifications (if any) as may be specified in the order, to proceedings in the district court. make such incidental, supplemental, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision as the Scottish Ministers think necessary or expedient, make different provision for different district courts or descriptions of district court or different proceedings or types of proceedings, modify any enactment. An order under this section shall not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, the Scottish Parliament. Where the court so determines at any time before or at a specified hearing, a detained person is to participate in the hearing by means of a live television link. must give the parties in the case an opportunity to make representations before making a determination under subsection (1), may make such a determination only if it considers that to do so is not contrary to the interests of justice. The court may require a detained person to participate by means of a live television link in any proceedings at a specified hearing or otherwise in the case for the sole purpose of considering whether to make a determination under subsection (1) with respect to a specified hearing. Where a detained person participates in any specified hearing or other proceedings by means of a live television link— a place of detention is, for the purposes of the hearing or other proceedings, deemed to be part of the court-room, and accordingly, the hearing is or other proceedings are deemed to take place in the presence of the detained person. “court-room” includes chambers, “live television link” means live television link between a place of detention and the court-room in which any specified hearing is or other proceedings are to be held or (as the case may be) any specified hearing is or other proceedings are being held. No evidence as to a charge on any complaint or indictment may be led or presented at a specified hearing in respect of which there is a determination under section 288H(1). may, at any time before or at a specified hearing, revoke a determination under section 288H(1), must do so in relation to a detained person if it considers that it is in the interests of justice for the detained person to appear in person. The court may postpone a specified hearing to a later day if, on the day on which a specified hearing takes place or is due to take place— the court decides not to make a determination under section 288H(1) with respect to the hearing, or the court revokes such a determination under subsection (2). Except where a postponement under section 288I(3) is while section 21(2) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 applies to a detained person, the following do not count towards any time limit arising in the person's case if the postponement in the case is to the next day on which the court is sitting— that next day, any intervening Saturday, Sunday or court holiday. Even while section 21(2) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 applies to a detained person, that section does not prevent a postponement under section 288I(3) in the person's case. In section 288I and this section, “postpone” includes adjourn. The Lord Justice General may by directions specify types of hearing at the High Court, Sheriff Appeal Court, sheriff court and JP court in which a detained person may participate in accordance with section 288H(1). Directions under subsection (1) may specify types of hearing by reference to— the venues at which they take place, particular places of detention, categories of cases or proceedings to which they relate. Directions under subsection (1) may— vary or revoke earlier such directions, The validity of any proceedings is not affected by the participation of a detained person by means of a live television link in a hearing that is not a specified hearing. In this section, “hearing” includes any diet or hearing in criminal proceedings which may be held in the presence of an accused, a convicted person or an appellant in the proceedings. For the purpose of sections 288H to 288K— “detained person” means person who is— an accused, a convicted person or an appellant in the case to which a specified hearing relates, and imprisoned or otherwise lawfully detained (whether or not in connection with an offence) at any place in Scotland, “place of detention” means place in which a detained person is imprisoned or detained, “specified hearing” means hearing of a type specified in directions having effect for the time being under section 288K. The procedure and rules of evidence in proceedings for treason and misprision of treason shall be the same as in proceedings according to the law of Scotland for murder. Subject to subsection (2) below, the sheriff may, on an application by an accused at any time after the accused has been charged with an offence, order that, in relation to the alleged offence, the prosecutor shall hold an identification parade in which the accused shall be one of those constituting the parade. The sheriff shall make an order in accordance with subsection (1) above only after giving the prosecutor an opportunity to be heard and only if— an identification parade, such as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, has not been held at the instance of the prosecutor; after a request by the accused, the prosecutor has refused to hold, or has unreasonably delayed holding, such an identification parade; and the sheriff considers the application under subsection (1) above to be reasonable. The sheriff may, on the application of an accused, grant warrant to cite any person (other than a co-accused), who is alleged to be a witness in relation to any offence of which the accused has been charged, to appear before the sheriff in chambers at such time or place as shall be specified in the citation, for precognition on oath by the accused or his solicitor in relation to that offence, if the court is satisfied that it is reasonable to require such precognition on oath in the circumstances. Any person who, having been duly cited to attend for precognition under subsection (1) above and having been given at least 48 hours notice, fails without reasonable excuse to attend shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 21 days; and the court may issue a warrant for the apprehension of the person concerned, ordering him to be brought before a sheriff for precognition on oath. Any person who, having been duly cited to attend for precognition under subsection (1) above, attends but— shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to be summarily subjected forthwith to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 21 days. This section does not, however, extend to the citation of the complainer for precognition by the accused in person. In subsection (4) above, “complainer” has the same meaning as in section 274 of this Act. A warrant is not to be granted under this section for the citation for precognition by the accused in person of any child under the age of 12 on the relevant date where the offence in relation to which the child is alleged to be a witness is one specified in section 288E(3) of this Act. In subsection (6) above, “the relevant date” means— where an indictment or complaint in respect of the offence has been served on the accused at the time of the application, the date on which the indictment or complaint was so served, or where an indictment or complaint in respect of the offence has not been so served, the date on which the application under subsection (1) above is made. Subject to subsection (6) below, the offences mentioned (and broadly described) in Schedule 10 to this Act shall be triable only summarily. An offence created by statute shall be triable only summarily if— the enactment creating the offence or any other enactment expressly so provides (in whatever words); or subject to subsections (4) and (5)(a) below, the offence was created by an Act passed on or before 29 July 1977 (the date of passing of the Criminal Law Act 1977) and the penalty or maximum penalty in force immediately before that date, on any conviction of that offence, did not include any of the following— a fine exceeding £400; . . . imprisonment for a period exceeding 3 months; a fine exceeding £50 in respect of a specified quantity or number of things, or in respect of a specified period during which a continuing offence is committed. An offence created by statute which is triable only on indictment shall continue only to be so triable. An offence created by statute shall be triable either on indictment or summarily if— it is an offence to which neither subsection (2) nor subsection (4) above applies. An offence which may under any enactment (including an enactment in this Act or passed after this Act) be tried only summarily, being an offence which, if it had been triable on indictment, could competently have been libelled as an additional or alternative charge in the indictment, may (the provisions of this or any other enactment notwithstanding) be so libelled, and tried accordingly. Where an offence is libelled and tried on indictment by virtue of subsection (6) above, the penalty which may be imposed for that offence in that case shall not exceed that which is competent on summary conviction. A person may be convicted of, and punished for, a contravention of any enactment, notwithstanding that he was guilty of such contravention as art and part only. Without prejudice to subsection (1) above or to any express provision in any enactment having the like effect to this subsection, any person who aids, abets, counsels, procures or incites any other person to commit an offence against the provisions of any enactment shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction, unless the enactment otherwise requires, to the same punishment as might be imposed on conviction of the first-mentioned offence. Attempt to commit any indictable crime is itself an indictable crime. Attempt to commit any offence punishable on complaint shall itself be an offence punishable on complaint. Without prejudice to section 13 of the Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989 (c. 45)(legal custody of prisoners), any person required or authorised by or under this Act or any other enactment to be taken to any place, or to be detained or kept in custody is, while being so taken or detained or kept, . . . in legal custody. Any warrant for search or apprehension granted under this Act shall be signed by the judge granting it, and execution upon any such warrant may proceed either upon the warrant itself or upon an extract of the warrant issued and signed by the clerk of court. Any warrant granted by a justice may, without being backed or endorsed by any other justice, be executed throughout Scotland in the same way as it may be executed within the jurisdiction of the justice who granted it. Any complaint, warrant, or other proceeding for the purposes of any summary proceedings under this Act may without endorsation be served or executed at any place within Scotland by any officer of law, and such service or execution may be proved either by the oath in court of the officer or by production of his written execution. A warrant issued in the Isle of Man for the arrest of a person charged with an offence may, after it has been endorsed by a justice in Scotland, be executed there by the person bringing that warrant, by any person to whom the warrant was originally directed or by any officer of law of the sheriff court district where the warrant has been endorsed in like manner as any such warrant issued in Scotland. In subsection (3) above, “endorsed” means endorsed in the like manner as a process to which section 4 of the Summary Jurisdiction (Process) Act 1881 applies. The Indictable Offences Act Amendment Act 1868 shall apply in relation to the execution in Scotland of warrants issued in the Channel Islands. This section applies where a person has been apprehended under a warrant (the “original warrant”) granted under this Act in relation to any proceedings. If the person absconds, the person may be re-apprehended under the original warrant (and as if that warrant had not been executed to any extent). If, for any reason, it is not practicable to bring the person before the court as required under a provision of this Act applying in the case, the person is to be brought before the court as soon as practicable after the relevant reason ceases to prevail. Despite subsection (3) above, if— the original warrant was granted in solemn proceedings; and the impracticability arises because the person needs medical treatment or care, the person may be released. A person released under subsection (4) above may be re-apprehended under the original warrant (and as if that warrant had not been executed to any extent). Subsection (3) above does not affect the operation of section 22(1B) of this Act (which relates to liberation on an undertaking of persons apprehended under warrant granted in summary proceedings). Nothing in this section prevents a court from granting a fresh warrant for the apprehension of the person. Subject to this section are— any rule of law as to bringing a person before a court in pursuance of a warrant granted on petition (as referred to in section 34 of this Act); section 102A(10) of this Act; section 135(3) (including as applying in relation to sections 22(1B) and 156) of this Act; section 90A(9) of this Act. Without prejudice to section 113 of this Act, the High Court may, in relation to— an appeal under section 106(1), 108 or 108A of this Act; an appeal by way of bill of suspension or advocation; or a petition to the nobile officium, at any time before the appeal is finally determined or, as the case may be, petition finally disposed of, order the judge who presided at the trial, passed sentence or otherwise disposed of the case to provide to the Clerk of Justiciary a report in writing giving the judge’s opinion on the case generally or in relation to any particular matter specified in the order. The Clerk of Justiciary shall send a copy of a report provided under subsection (1) above to the convicted person or his solicitor, the Crown Agent and, in relation to cases referred under Part XA of this Act, the Commission. Without prejudice to section 186(3)(b) of this Act, the Sheriff Appeal Court may, in relation to— an appeal under section 175(2) to (4) of this Act; or an appeal by way of bill of suspension or advocation, at any time before the appeal is finally determined order the judge who presided at the trial, passed sentence or otherwise disposed of the case to provide to the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court a report in writing giving the judge’s opinion in the case generally or in relation to any particular matter specified in the order. The Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court must send a copy of the report provided under subsection (2A) above to the convicted person or their solicitor, the prosecutor and, in relation to cases referred under Part XA of this Act, the Commission. Subject to subsections (2) and (2B) above, the report of the judge shall be available only to the High Court or the Sheriff Appeal Court (as the case may be), the parties and, on such conditions as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, such other persons or classes of persons as may be so prescribed. This subsection applies where the prosecutor requires to intimate to the respondent— a bill of advocation; a petition to the nobile officium; ... an order of the High Court or the Sheriff Appeal Court relating to such a bill or (as the case may be) petition. Where subsection (1) above applies, the requirement may be met by serving on the respondent or the respondent's solicitor a copy of the bill, petition or (as the case may be) order. Service under subsection (2) above may (in relation to any proceedings) be effected— on the respondent, in the same manner as citation under section 141 of this Act; on the respondent's solicitor, by post. This subsection applies where a person requires to intimate to the prosecutor— a bill of suspension or advocation; Where subsection (4) above applies, the requirement may be met by serving on the prosecutor a copy of the bill, petition or (as the case may be) order. Service under subsection (5) above may (in relation to any proceedings) be effected by post. It is sufficient evidence that service has been effected under subsection (3) or (6) above if there is produced a written execution— signed by the person who effected service. In relation to service effected by means of registered post or the recorded delivery service, the relevant post office receipt requires to be produced along with the execution mentioned in subsection (7) above. A party who has service effected under subsection (3) or (6) above must, as soon as practicable thereafter, lodge with the Clerk of Justiciary or the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court (as the case may be) a copy of the execution mentioned in subsection (7) above. For the purpose of subsection (3)(a) above, section 141 of this Act is to be read with such modifications as are necessary for its application in the circumstances. This section is without prejudice to any rule of law or practice by virtue of which things of the kinds mentioned in subsections (1) and (4) above (including copies) may be intimated or served. Subject to the provisions of this section, it shall be competent to correct any entry in— the record of proceedings in a prosecution; or the extract of a sentence passed or an order of court made in such proceedings, in so far as that entry constitutes an error of recording or is incomplete. An entry mentioned in subsection (1) above may be corrected— by the clerk of the court, at any time before either the sentence or order of the court is executed or, on appeal, the proceedings are transmitted to the Clerk of Justiciary or the Clerk of the Sheriff Appeal Court (as the case may be); by the clerk of the court, under the authority of the court which passed the sentence or made the order, at any time after the execution of the sentence or order of the court but before such transmission as is mentioned in paragraph (a) above; or by the clerk of the court under the authority of the High Court or the Sheriff Appeal Court (as the case may be) in the case of a remit under subsection (4)(b) below. A correction in accordance with paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection (2) above shall be intimated to the prosecutor and to the former accused or his solicitor. Where during the course of an appeal, the court hearing the appeal becomes aware of an erroneous or incomplete entry, such as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, the court— may consider and determine the appeal as if such entry were corrected; and either before or after the determination of the appeal, may remit the proceedings to the court of first instance for correction in accordance with subsection (2)(c) above. Any correction under subsections (1) and (2) above by the clerk of the court shall be authenticated by his signature and, if such correction is authorised by a court, shall record the name of the judge or judges authorising such correction and the date of such authorisation. Without prejudice to section 299 of this Act, where, on an application in accordance with subsection (2) below, the Sheriff Appeal Court is satisfied that a record of conviction or sentence in summary proceedings inaccurately records the identity of any person, it may authorise the clerk of the court which convicted or, as the case may be, sentenced the person to correct the record. An application under subsection (1) above shall be made after the determination of the summary prosecution and may be made by any party to the summary proceedings or any other person having an interest in the correction of the alleged inaccuracy. The Sheriff Appeal Court shall order intimation of an application under subsection (1) above to such persons as it considers appropriate and shall not determine the application without affording to the parties to the summary proceedings and to any other person having an interest in the correction of the alleged inaccuracy an opportunity to be heard. The power of the High Court under this section may be exercised by a single judge of the High Court in the same manner as it may be exercised by the High Court, and subject to the same provisions. Any court may excuse a procedural irregularity— of a kind described in subsection (5) below; and which has occurred in relation to proceedings before that court, if the conditions mentioned in subsection (4) below are met. In appeal proceedings, the court hearing the appeal may excuse a procedural irregularity— of that kind; and which has occurred in relation to earlier proceedings in the case that is the subject of the appeal, if those conditions are met. A court may proceed under subsection (1) or (2) above on the application of the prosecutor or an accused person (having given the other an opportunity to be heard). it appears to the court that the irregularity arose because of— mistake or oversight; or other excusable reason; and the court is satisfied in the circumstances of the case that it would be in the interests of justice to excuse the irregularity. A procedural irregularity is an irregularity arising at any stage of proceedings— from— failure to call or discharge a diet properly; improper adjournment or continuation of a case; a diet being fixed for a non-sitting day; from failure of— the court; or the prosecutor or the accused, to do something within a particular period or otherwise comply with a time limit; from failure of the prosecutor to serve properly a notice or other thing; from failure of the accused to— intimate properly a preliminary objection; intimate properly a plea or defence; serve properly a notice or other thing; to fulfil any other procedural requirement. Subsection (1) above does not authorise a court to excuse an irregularity arising by reason of the detention in custody of an accused person for a period exceeding that fixed by this Act. Subsection (1) above does not apply in relation to any requirement as to proof including, in particular, any matter relating to— admissibility of evidence; sufficiency of evidence; or any other evidential factor. Subsection (1) does not authorise a court to excuse a failure to do any of the following things timeously— lodge written intimation of intention to appeal in accordance with section 109(1), lodge a note of appeal in accordance with section 110(1)(a), make an application for a stated case under section 176(1), lodge a note of appeal in accordance with section 186(2)(a). Where a court excuses an irregularity under subsection (1) above, it may make such order as is necessary or expedient for the purpose of— restoring the proceedings as if the irregularity had never occurred; facilitating the continuation of the proceedings as if it had never occurred, for example— altering a diet; extending any time limit; appointing a diet for further procedure or granting an adjournment or continuation of a diet; protecting the rights of the parties. a reference to an accused person, except the reference in subsection (6) above, includes reference to a person who has been convicted of an offence; something is done properly if it is done in accordance with a requirement of an enactment or any rule of law. In subsection (5)(a)(iii) above, a “non-sitting day” is a day on which the court is under this Act not required to sit. This section is without prejudice to any provision of this Act under which a court may— alter a diet; or extend— a period within which something requires to be done; or any other time limit. This section is without prejudice to any rule of law by virtue of which it may be determined by a court that breach, in relation to criminal proceedings— of a requirement of an enactment; or of a rule of law, does not render the proceedings, or anything done (or purported to have been done) for the purposes of or in connection with proceedings, invalid.

Without prejudice to section 103(8) of this Act, any solicitor who has, by virtue of section 25A (rights of audience) of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980, a right of audience in relation to the High Court of Justiciary shall have the same right of audience in that court as is enjoyed by an advocate. Any person who has complied with the terms of a scheme approved under section 26 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990 (consideration of applications made under section 25) shall have such rights of audience before the High Court of Justiciary as may be specified in an Act of Adjournal made under subsection (7)(b) of that section. It is competent for the sheriff court to make, in connection with any criminal proceedings mentioned in subsection (2) below, the orders mentioned in subsection (3) below. The proceedings are— solemn proceedings in that sheriff court; summary proceedings— in that sheriff court; in any JP court in that sheriff court's district. an order granting commission and diligence for the recovery of documents; an order for the production of documents. An application for the purpose may not be made— in connection with solemn proceedings, until the indictment has been served on the accused or the accused has been cited under section 66(4)(b) of this Act; in connection with summary proceedings, until the accused has answered the complaint. A decision of the sheriff on an application for an order under subsection (1) above may be appealed to the appropriate Appeal Court. In an appeal under subsection (5) above, the appropriate Appeal Court may uphold, vary or quash the decision of the sheriff. The prosecutor is entitled to be heard in any— application for an order under subsection (1) above; appeal under subsection (5) above, even if the prosecutor is not a party to the application or (as the case may be) appeal. The competence of the High Court to make, in connection with criminal proceedings, the orders mentioned in subsection (3) above is restricted to making them in connection with proceedings in that court. in the case of an appeal under subsection (5) against a decision made in solemn proceedings, the High Court; in the case of an appeal under subsection (5) against a decision made in summary proceedings, the Sheriff Appeal Court. Where a procurator fiscal receives a report that a relevant offence has been committed he may send to the alleged offender a notice under this section (referred to in this section as a conditional offer); and where he issues a conditional offer the procurator fiscal shall notify the clerk of court specified in it of the issue of the conditional offer and of its terms. A conditional offer— shall give such particulars of the circumstances alleged to constitute the offence to which it relates as are necessary for giving reasonable information about the alleged offence; shall state— the amount of the appropriate fixed penalty for that offence; if the penalty is to be payable by instalments, the amount of the instalments and the intervals at which they should be paid; ... shall indicate that if, within 28 days of the date on which the conditional offer was issued, or such longer period as may be specified in the conditional offer, the alleged offender accepts the offer by making payment in respect of the fixed penalty to the clerk of court specified in the conditional offer at the address therein mentioned, any liability to conviction of the offence shall be discharged; shall indicate— that the alleged offender may refuse the conditional offer by giving notice to the clerk of court in the manner specified in the conditional offer before the expiry of 28 days, or such longer period as may be specified in the conditional offer, beginning on the day on which the conditional offer is made; that unless the alleged offender gives such notice, the alleged offender will be deemed to have accepted the conditional offer (even where no payment is made in respect of the offer); that where the alleged offender is deemed as described in sub-paragraph (ii) above to have accepted the conditional offer any liability to conviction of the offence shall be discharged except where the offer is recalled under section 302C of this Act; shall state that proceedings against the alleged offender shall not be commenced in respect of that offence until the end of a period of 28 days from the date on which the conditional offer was issued, or such longer period as may be specified in the conditional offer; ... that the acceptance of the offer in the manner described in paragraph (c) above, or deemed acceptance of the offer as described in paragraph (ca)(ii) above, shall not be a conviction nor be recorded as such; that the fact that the offer has been accepted, or deemed to have been accepted, may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for an offence committed by the alleged offender within the period of two years beginning on the day of acceptance of the offer; that that fact may be disclosed to the court also in any proceedings for an offence to which the alleged offender is, or is liable to become, subject at such time as the offer is accepted; that if the offer is not accepted, that fact may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for the offence to which the conditional offer relates; shall state that refusal of a conditional offer under paragraph (ca)(i) above will be treated as a request by the alleged offender to be tried for the offence; and shall explain the right to request a recall of the fixed penalty under section 302C of this Act. A conditional offer may be made in respect of more than one relevant offence and shall, in such a case, state the amount of the appropriate fixed penalty for all the offences in respect of which it is made. The clerk of court shall— without delay, notify the procurator fiscal who issued the conditional offer when a notice as described in subsection (2)(ca)(i) above has been received in respect of the offer; or following the expiry of the period of 28 days referred to in subsection (2)(c) above or such longer period as may be specified in the offer, notify the procurator fiscal if no such notice has been received. A conditional offer is accepted by the alleged offender making any payment in respect of the appropriate fixed penalty. Where an alleged offender to whom a conditional offer of a fixed penalty is made does not give notice as described in subsection (2)(ca)(i) above, the alleged offender is deemed to have accepted the conditional offer. an alleged offender accepts a conditional offer as described in subsection (4A) above; or an alleged offender is deemed to have accepted a conditional offer under subsection (4B) above and the fixed penalty is not recalled, no proceedings shall be brought against the alleged offender for the offence. The Secretary of State shall, by order, prescribe a scale of fixed penalties for the purpose of this section .... The amount of the maximum penalty on the scale prescribed under subsection (7) above may not exceed £500. The Scottish Ministers may by regulations amend subsection (7A) so as to substitute for the sum for the time being specified there a higher sum. An order under subsection (7) or regulations under subsection (7B) above— may contain provision as to the payment of fixed penalties by instalments; and shall be made by statutory instrument, which shall not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, the Scottish Parliament. The alleged offender shall be presumed to have received a conditional offer under subsection (1) above if the offer is sent to— the address given by the alleged offender in a request for recall under section 302C(1) of this Act of an earlier offer in the same matter; or any address given by the alleged offender to the clerk of court specified in the offer, or to the procurator fiscal, in connection with the offer. For the purposes of section 141(4) of this Act, the accused shall be presumed to have received any citation effected at— the address to which a conditional offer under subsection (1) above was sent provided it is proved that the accused received the offer; or any address given by the accused to the clerk of court specified in the offer, or to the procurator fiscal, in connection with the offer. “a relevant offence” means any offence in respect of which an alleged offender could be tried summarily, but shall not include a fixed penalty offence within the meaning of section 51 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 nor any other offence in respect of which a conditional offer within the meaning of sections 75 to 77 of that Act may be sent ; and “the appropriate fixed penalty” means such fixed penalty on the scale prescribed under subsection (7) above as the procurator fiscal thinks fit having regard to the circumstances of the case. Where a procurator fiscal receives a report that a relevant offence has been committed he may send to the alleged offender a notice under this section (referred to in this section as a compensation offer); and where he issues a compensation offer the procurator fiscal shall notify the clerk of court specified in it of the issue of the offer and of its terms. A compensation offer— shall give such particulars of the circumstances alleged to constitute the offence to which it relates as are necessary for giving reasonable information about the alleged offence; the amount of compensation payable; if the compensation is to be payable by instalments, the amount of the instalments and the intervals at which they should be paid; shall indicate that if, within 28 days of the date on which the offer was issued, or such longer period as may be specified in the offer, the alleged offender accepts the offer by making payment in respect of the offer to the clerk of court specified in the offer at the address therein mentioned, any liability to conviction of the offence shall be discharged; that the alleged offender may refuse the offer by giving notice to the clerk of court in the manner specified in the offer before the expiry of 28 days, or such longer period as may be specified in the offer, beginning on the day on which the offer is made; that unless the alleged offender gives such notice, the alleged offender will be deemed to have accepted the offer (even where no payment is made in respect of the offer); that where the alleged offender is deemed as described in sub-paragraph (ii) above to have accepted the offer any liability to conviction of the offence shall be discharged except where the offer is recalled under section 302C of this Act; shall state that proceedings against the alleged offender shall not be commenced in respect of that offence until the end of a period of 28 days from the date on which the offer was made, or such longer period as may be specified in the offer; that the acceptance of the offer in the manner described in paragraph (c) above, or deemed acceptance of the offer as described in paragraph (d)(ii) above, shall not be a conviction nor be recorded as such; that if the offer is not accepted, that fact may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for the offence to which the offer relates; shall state that refusal of an offer under paragraph (d)(i) above will be treated as a request by the alleged offender to be tried for the offence; and shall explain the right to request a recall of the offer under section 302C of this Act. A compensation offer may be made in respect of more than one relevant offence and shall, in such a case, state the amount payable in respect of the offer for all the offences in relation to which it is issued. without delay, notify the procurator fiscal who issued the compensation offer when a notice as described in subsection (2)(d)(i) above has been received in respect of the offer; or A compensation offer is accepted by the alleged offender making any payment in respect of the offer. Where an alleged offender to whom a compensation offer is made does not give notice as described in subsection (2)(d)(i) above, the alleged offender is deemed to have accepted the offer. an alleged offender accepts a compensation offer as described in subsection (5) above; or an alleged offender is deemed to have accepted a compensation offer under subsection (6) above and the offer is not recalled, The Scottish Ministers shall by order prescribe the maximum amount of a compensation offer; but that amount shall not exceed level 5 on the standard scale. An order under subsection (8) above shall be made by statutory instrument; and any such instrument shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. The alleged offender shall be presumed to have received a compensation offer under subsection (1) above if the offer is sent to— the address to which a compensation offer under subsection (1) above was sent provided it is proved that the accused received the offer; or The clerk of court shall account for the amount paid under a compensation offer to the person entitled thereto. In this section, a “relevant offence” means any offence— in respect of which an alleged offender could be tried summarily; and on conviction of which it would be competent for the court to make a compensation order under section 249 of this Act. The procurator fiscal may send to an alleged offender a notice under sections 302(1) and 302A(1) of this Act in respect of the same relevant offence (referred to in this section as a “combined offer”). A combined offer shall be contained in the one notice. In addition to the information required to be provided under sections 302(2) and 302A(2) of this Act, the combined offer shall state— that the combined offer consists of both a fixed penalty offer and a compensation offer; the whole amount of the combined offer; and that liability to conviction of the offence shall not be discharged unless the whole of the combined offer is accepted. Any acceptance or deemed acceptance of part of a combined offer shall be treated as applying to the whole of the offer. Where an alleged offender is deemed to have accepted— a fixed penalty offer by virtue of section 302(2)(ca)(ii) of this Act; or a compensation offer by virtue of section 302A(2)(d)(ii) of this Act, the alleged offender may request that it be recalled. A request for recall under subsection (1) above is valid only if— the alleged offender claims that he— did not receive the offer concerned; and would (if he had received it) have refused the offer; or the alleged offender claims that— although he received the offer concerned, it was not practicable by reason of exceptional circumstances for him to give notice of refusal of the offer; and he would (but for those circumstances) have refused the offer. A request for recall of a fixed penalty offer or a compensation offer requires to be made— to the clerk of court referred to in the offer; and no later than 7 days after the expiry of the period specified in the offer for payment of the fixed penalty or compensation offer or, where a notice is sent in pursuance of section 303(1A)(a) of this Act, no later than 7 days after it is sent. The clerk of court may, on cause shown by reference to subsection (2) above, consider a request for recall of such an offer despite its being made outwith the time limit applying by virtue of subsection (3)(b) above. The clerk of court may, following receipt of such a request— uphold the fixed penalty offer or compensation offer; or recall it. The alleged offender may, within 7 days of a decision under subsection (5)(a) above, apply to the court specified in the offer for a review of the decision (including as it involves a question which arose by reference to subsections (2) to (4) above). In a review under subsection (6) above, the court may— confirm or quash the decision of the clerk; in either case, give such direction to the clerk as the court considers appropriate. The decision of the court in a review under subsection (6) above shall be final. The clerk of court shall, without delay, notify the procurator fiscal of— a request for recall under subsection (1) above; an application for review under subsection (6) above; any decision under subsection (5) or (7) above. For the purposes of this section, a certificate given by the procurator fiscal as to the date on which a fixed penalty offer or compensation order was sent shall be sufficient evidence of that fact. Subject to subsections (1A) and (2) below, where an alleged offender accepts a fixed penalty offer under section 302 of this Act or a compensation offer under section 302A of this Act, any amount of it which is outstanding at any time shall be treated as if the penalty or offer were a fine imposed by the court (the clerk of which is specified in the notice). No action shall be taken to enforce a fixed penalty or compensation offer which an alleged offender is deemed to have accepted by virtue of section 302(2)(ca)(ii) or section 302A(2)(d)(ii) of this Act unless— the alleged offender is sent a notice— of the intention to take enforcement action; and which explains the right to request a recall of the penalty or offer under section 302C of this Act; any request for recall made under that section has been finally disposed of. In the enforcement of a fixed penalty or compensation offer which is to be treated as a fine in pursuance of subsection (1) above— any reference, howsoever expressed, in any enactment whether passed or made before or after the coming into force of this section to— the imposition of imprisonment or detention in default of payment of a fine shall be construed as a reference to enforcement by means of civil diligence; the finding or order of the court imposing the fine shall be construed as a reference to a certificate given in pursuance of subsection (3) below; the offender shall be construed as a reference to the alleged offender; the conviction of the offender shall be construed as a reference to the acceptance of the conditional offer by the alleged offender; the following sections of this Act shall not apply— section 211(7) section 213(2); section 214(1) to (6); section 216(7); section 219, except subsection (1)(b); section 220; section 221(2) to (4); section 222(8); and section 224. For the purposes of any proceedings in connection with, or steps taken for, the enforcement of any amount of a fixed penalty or compensation offer which is outstanding, a document purporting to be a certificate signed by the clerk of court for the time being responsible for the collection or enforcement of the penalty as to any mater relating to the penalty shall be conclusive of the matter so certified. The Secretary of State may, by order made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament, make such provision as he considers necessary for the enforcement in England and Wales . . . of any penalty, treated in pursuance of subsection (1) above as a fine, which is transferred as a fine to a court in England and Wales . . . . The Department of Justice in Northern Ireland may by order make such provision as it considers necessary for the enforcement in Northern Ireland of any penalty, treated in pursuance of subsection (1) above as a fine, which is transferred as a fine to a court in Northern Ireland. The power of the Department of Justice to make an order under subsection (5) is exercisable by statutory rule for the purposes of the Statutory Rules (Northern Ireland) Order 1979. An order made by the Department of Justice under subsection (5) is subject to negative resolution (within the meaning of section 41(6) of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954). Where a procurator fiscal receives a report that a relevant offence has been committed he may send the alleged offender a notice under this section (referred to in this section as a work offer) which offers the alleged offender the opportunity of performing unpaid work. The total number of hours of unpaid work shall be not less than 10 nor more than 50. A work offer— the number of hours of unpaid work which the alleged offender is required to perform; the date by which that work requires to be completed; shall indicate that if the alleged offender— accepts the work offer; and completes the work to the satisfaction of the supervising officer, any liability to conviction of the offence shall be discharged; shall state that proceedings against the alleged offender shall not be commenced in respect of that offence until the end of a period of 28 days from the date on which the offer was issued, or such longer period as may be specified in the offer; that acceptance of a work offer in the manner described in subsection (5) below shall not be a conviction nor be recorded as such; that if a work offer is not accepted, that fact may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for the offence to which the offer relates; that the fact that a resultant work order has been completed may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for an offence committed by the alleged offender within the period of two years beginning on the day of acceptance of the offer; that if a resultant work order is not completed, that fact may be disclosed to the court in any proceedings for the offence to which the order relates. A work offer may be made in respect of more than one relevant offence and shall, in such a case, state the total amount of work requiring to be performed in respect of the offences in relation to which it is made. An alleged offender accepts a work offer by giving notice to the procurator fiscal specified in the order before the expiry of 28 days, or such longer period as may be specified in the offer, beginning on the day on which the offer is made. If (and only if) the alleged offender accepts a work offer, the procurator fiscal may make an order (referred to in this section as a work order) against the alleged offender. Notice of a work order— shall be sent to the alleged offender as soon as reasonably practicable after acceptance of the work offer; and shall contain— the information mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above; and the name and contact details of the person who is to act as supervisor (“the supervising officer”) in relation to the alleged offender. The procurator fiscal shall notify the local authority which will be responsible for supervision of an alleged offender of the terms of any work order sent to the alleged offender. Where a work order is made, the supervising officer shall— determine the nature of the work which the alleged offender requires to perform; determine the times and places at which the alleged offender is to perform that work; give directions to the alleged offender in relation to that work; provide the procurator fiscal with such information as the procurator fiscal may require in relation to the alleged offender's conduct in connection with the requirements of the order. In giving directions under subsection (9)(c) above, a supervising officer shall, so far as practicable, avoid— any conflict with the alleged offender's religious beliefs; any interference with the times at which the alleged offender normally— works (or carries out voluntary work); or attends an educational establishment. The supervising officer shall, on or as soon as practicable after the date referred to in subsection (3)(b)(ii) above, notify the procurator fiscal whether or not the work has been performed to the supervising officer's satisfaction. Where an alleged offender completes the work specified in the work order to the satisfaction of the supervising officer, no proceedings shall be brought against the alleged offender for the offence. The Scottish Ministers may, by regulations, make provision for the purposes of subsection (9) above (including, in particular, the kinds of activity of which the work requiring to be performed may (or may not) consist). Regulations under subsection (13) above shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Scottish Parliament. the address to which a work offer was sent provided it is proved that the accused received the offer; or any address given, in connection with the offer, by the accused to the procurator fiscal specified in the offer. In this section, a “relevant offence” means any offence in respect of which an alleged offender could be tried summarily. Where this subsection applies, the procurator fiscal may set aside— a work offer made under section 303ZA(1) of this Act; a work order made under section 303ZA(6) of this Act. Subsection (1) above applies where, on the basis of information which comes to the procurator fiscal's attention after the offer or (as the case may be) order has been made, the procurator fiscal considers that the offer or (as the case may be) order should not have been made in respect of the alleged offender. The procurator fiscal may act under subsection (1)(a) to (c) above even where the offer has been accepted (including, in the case of an offer mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) above, deemed to have been accepted). Where the procurator fiscal acts under subsection (1) above, the procurator fiscal shall give the alleged offender notice— of the setting aside of the offer or (as the case may be) order; and indicating that any liability of the alleged offender to conviction of the alleged offence is discharged. Where a person convicted of an offence has died, any person may, subject to the provisions of this section, apply to the appropriate Appeal Court for an order authorising him to institute or continue any appeal which could have been or has been instituted by the deceased. An application for an order under this section may be lodged with the clerk of the appropriate Appeal Court within three months of the deceased’s death or at such later time as the appropriate Appeal Court may, on cause shown, allow. Where the Commission makes a reference to the High Court under section 194B of this Act in respect of a person who is deceased, any application under this section must be made within one month of the reference. Where an application is made for an order under this section and the applicant— is an executor of the deceased; or otherwise appears to the appropriate Appeal Court to have a legitimate interest, the appropriate Appeal Court shall make an order authorising the applicant to institute or continue any appeal which could have been instituted or continued by the deceased; and, subject to the provisions of this section, any such order may include such ancillary or supplementary provision as the appropriate Appeal Court thinks fit. The person in whose favour an order under this section is made shall from the date of the order be afforded the same rights to carry on the appeal as the deceased enjoyed at the time of his death and, in particular, where any time limit had begun to run against the deceased the person in whose favour an order has been made shall have the benefit of only that portion of the time limit which remained unexpired at the time of the death. In this section “appeal” includes any sort of application, whether at common law or under statute, for the review of any conviction, penalty or other order made in respect of the deceased in any criminal proceedings whatsoever. in the case of an appeal proposed to be instituted or continued before the High Court, the High Court; in the case of an appeal proposed to be instituted or continued before the Sheriff Appeal Court, the Sheriff Appeal Court; and For the purposes of section 138(1) of this Act— institution of proceedings may be effected by electronic complaint; the requirement for signing is satisfied in relation to an electronic complaint by an electronic signature; the requirement for signing may be satisfied in relation to any other complaint by an electronic signature. The references in the other provisions of this Act to a complaint include an electronic complaint unless the context otherwise requires. Where proceedings are instituted by electronic complaint, in the event of any conflict between— the principal electronic complaint kept by the clerk of court for the purposes of the proceedings; and any other document (whether in electronic or other form) purporting to be the complaint, the principal electronic complaint prevails. The requirement in section 85(4) of this Act for signing may be satisfied by electronic signature. The requirement in section 136B(2) of this Act for signing may be satisfied by electronic signature. The requirement in section 141(3)(a) of this Act for signing may be satisfied by electronic signature. The requirement in section 159(3) of this Act for authentication by initials is satisfied in relation to an electronic complaint by authentication by electronic signature. The requirements in section 172(2) of this Act for signing by the clerk of court may be satisfied by electronic signature. The requirements in section 258(2) and (9) of this Act for signing may be satisfied in relation to summary proceedings by electronic signature. The requirement in section 299(5) of this Act for authentication by signature is satisfied in relation to— proceedings which are recorded in electronic form; any extract of sentence, or order made, which is recorded in electronic form, by authentication by electronic signature. An electronic signature fulfills any requirement (however expressed and for whatever purpose) for the signing or initialling of— a document of a type mentioned in section 303E(1), or a deletion or correction to such a document. In this section, “electronic signature” is to be construed in accordance with section 7(2) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000, but includes a version of an electronic signature which is reproduced on a paper document. Any requirement (however expressed) that a document of a type mentioned in section 303E(1) be given to a person may be fulfilled by— transmitting it to the person electronically, or transmitting it (electronically or otherwise) to a solicitor engaged to act on the person’s behalf in relation to the proceedings in question. electronic transmission of a document by one person (“the sender”) to another person (“the recipient”) must be effected in a way that the recipient has indicated to the sender that the recipient is willing to receive the document, the recipient’s indication of willingness to receive a document in a particular way may be— specific to the document in question or generally applicable to documents of that kind, expressed specifically to the sender or generally (for example on a website), inferred from the recipient having previously been willing to receive documents from the sender in that way and not having indicated unwillingness to do so again, the sender’s uploading of a document to an electronic storage system from which the recipient is able to download the document may constitute electronic transmission of the document from the sender to the recipient. In this section, references to giving a person a document include— serving a document on a person, sending a document to a person, and lodging a document with, or otherwise applying to or petitioning, a court. The types of document referred to in sections 303C and 303D are— an order, warrant, sentence, citation, minute or any other document produced by a court, an extract of any document mentioned in paragraph (a), any document that an enactment requires to be given to a person in connection with, or in order to initiate, criminal proceedings, any document that an enactment requires to be signed or initialled in order that it, or any other thing, may be used in criminal proceedings for any purpose including— being used as evidence, or being treated as sufficient evidence of a matter. But a type of document mentioned in subsection (1) is not to be regarded as mentioned in that subsection for the purposes of section 303C or 303D (or both) if the Lord Justice General directs that it is not. A direction under subsection (2)— may relate to some or all criminal proceedings, may be varied or revoked, must be made publicly available for so long as it has effect. In sections 303C to 303E of this Act— references to a court include an office holder of a court, “document” includes a copy of a document. This section applies in relation to a hearing in criminal proceedings in which— a person is to give evidence, and section 303H does not apply. A court may disapply any requirement (however expressed) that a person physically attend the court by directing that the person need not do so. A court may disapply a requirement for a person’s physical attendance under subsection (2) only if it considers that allowing the person to attend by electronic means in accordance with section 303K would not— prejudice the fairness of the proceedings, or otherwise be contrary to the interests of justice. Nothing in this section affects any other basis upon which a person need not physically attend a court. References in this section to physically attending a court are to— being in a particular place, or being in the same place as another person, for the purpose of any proceedings before a court or an office holder of a court. This section applies in relation to criminal proceedings in which the only party is a public official. Any requirement (however expressed) that a person physically attend a court does not apply, unless the court directs the person to physically attend. A court may direct a person to physically attend under subsection (2) only if it considers that allowing the person to attend by electronic means in accordance with section 303K would— References in this section to physically attending a court are to be construed in accordance with section 303G(5). A court may issue a direction under section 303G(2) or 303H(2) on the motion of a party or of its own accord. The power to issue a direction under section 303G(2) or 303H(2) includes the power to revoke an earlier direction under that section. In considering whether to issue a direction under section 303G(2) or 303H(2), the court must— give all parties an opportunity to make representations (subject to subsection (4)), and have regard to any guidance issued by the Lord Justice General. A court may, of its own accord, issue the first direction under section 303G(2) or 303H(2) in relation to a hearing or proceedings without having given the parties an opportunity to make representations. Where a direction under section 303G(2) or 303H(2) is issued as described in subsection (4), the court must— take steps to ensure that the parties are aware of their right to make a motion for the revocation of the direction, and deal with any motion for the direction’s revocation, before dealing with any other matter at the hearing, other than a decision to adjourn or a matter that an enactment requires that the court deal with before another hearing could practicably be arranged. This section applies in relation to any criminal proceedings other than— a hearing to which section 303G applies, or proceedings to which section 303H applies. Any requirement (however expressed) that a person physically attend a court does not apply if— a determination made by the Lord Justice General states that it does not, and the court has not directed the person to physically attend. A determination under subsection (2)(a)— may, in particular, disapply a requirement for physical attendance— in relation to persons, hearings or proceedings described in the determination, by enabling a court to disapply it in circumstances specified in the determination, may make different provision for— different purposes, different areas, must set out the reason for making the determination, The Lord Justice General may make a determination under subsection (2)(a) disapplying a requirement for physical attendance only if (taking into account the discretion conferred by subsection (2)(b)), the Lord Justice General is satisfied that it would not— prejudice the fairness of proceedings, or A direction under subsection (2)(b)— may be issued by a court on the motion of a party or of its own accord, may be revoked. Where, by reason of a determination under subsection (2)(a), a person is to attend a court hearing by electronic means in accordance with section 303K, the court must— take steps to ensure that the parties are aware of their right to make a motion for a direction under subsection (2)(b), and deal with any motion for a direction under that subsection, A person excused from a requirement to physically attend a court by virtue of section 303G(2), 303H(2) or 303J(2)(a) must instead appear before the court or office holder (as the case may be) by electronic means in accordance with a direction issued by the court. A person who fails to do so is to be regarded as having failed to comply with the requirement to physically attend from which the person is excused. A direction under subsection (1)— is to set out how the person is to appear by electronic means before the court or office holder, including what requirements must be satisfied by the location from which the person is to appear, may include any other provision which the court considers appropriate, may be made by a court on the motion of a party or of its own accord. The power to issue a direction under subsection (1) includes the power to vary or revoke an earlier direction issued under that subsection. Before issuing a direction under subsection (1), the court must— give all parties an opportunity to make representations (subject to subsection (6)), and The court may, of its own accord, issue the first direction under subsection (1) in relation to a hearing or proceedings without having given the parties an opportunity to make representations. Where a direction is issued as described in subsection (6), the court must— take steps to ensure that the parties are aware of their right to make a motion for the variation or revocation of the direction, and deal with any motion for the variation or revocation of the direction, before taking a decision about any other matter at the hearing, other than a decision to adjourn, a decision in respect of a motion for a direction under section 303G, 303H or 303J or a matter that an enactment requires that the court deal with before another hearing could practicably be arranged. A direction under subsection (1) setting out— how a party to proceedings is to attend by electronic means a hearing in which a person is to give evidence, must provide for the party to use means that enable the party to both see and hear all of the other parties, the judge and (where applicable) the jury and any witness who is giving evidence, how a witness who is to give evidence at a hearing is to attend by electronic means, must provide for the witness to use means that enable all of the parties, the judge and (where applicable) the jury to both see and hear the witness. Nothing in subsection (8) is to be taken to mean that a person is to be enabled to see or hear a witness in a way that measures taken in accordance with an order of the court would otherwise prevent. A court may— issue a direction under section 303K(1) that applies for the purpose of all proceedings of a type specified in the direction, provided that the only party to the proceedings is a public official, issue a further direction under section 303K(1) overriding, for the purpose of specific proceedings, a general direction issued by virtue of paragraph (a).

It shall not be necessary to specify by any nomen juris the offence which is charged, but it shall be sufficient that the indictment or complaint sets forth facts relevant and sufficient to constitute an indictable offence or, as the case may be, an offence punishable on complaint. It shall not be necessary to allege that any act or commission or omission charged was done or omitted to be done “wilfully” or “maliciously”, or “wickedly and feloniously”, or “falsely and fraudulently” or “knowingly”, or “culpably and recklessly”, or “negligently”, or in “breach of duty”, or to use such words as “knowing the same to be forged”, or “having good reason to know”, or “well knowing the same to have been stolen”, or to use any similar words or expressions qualifying any act charged, but such qualifying allegation shall be implied in every case. The latitude formerly used in stating time shall be implied in all statements of time where an exact time is not of the essence of the charge. The latitude formerly used in stating any place by adding to the word “at”, or to the word “in”, the words “or near”, or the words “or in the near neighbourhood thereof” or similar words, shall be implied in all statements of place where the actual place is not of the essence of the charge. Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where the circumstances of the offence charged make it necessary to take an exceptional latitude in regard to time or place it shall not be necessary to set forth the circumstances in the indictment, or to set forth that the particular time or the particular place is to the prosecutor unknown. Where exceptional latitude is taken as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) above, the court shall, if satisfied that such exceptional latitude was not reasonable in the circumstances of the case, give such remedy to the accused by adjournment of the trial or otherwise as shall seem just. Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (4) above, nothing in any rule of law shall prohibit the amendment of an indictment or, as the case may be, a complaint to include a time outwith the exceptional latitude if it appears to the court that the amendment would not prejudice the accused. The latitude formerly used in describing quantities by the words “or thereby”, or the words “or part thereof”, or the words “or some other quantity to the prosecutor unknown” or similar words, shall be implied in all statements of quantities. The latitude formerly used in stating details connected with the perpetration of any act regarding persons, things or modes by inserting general alternative statements followed by the words “to the prosecutor unknown” or similar words, shall be implied in every case. In this paragraph references to latitude formerly used are references to such use before the commencement of— in the case of proceedings on indictment, the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1887; and in the case of summary proceedings, the Summary Jurisdiction (Scotland) Act 1908. The word “money” shall include cheques, banknotes, postal orders, money orders and foreign currency. Any document referred to shall be referred to by a general description and, where it is to be produced in proceedings on indictment, by the number given to it in the list of productions for the prosecution. In an indictment which charges a crime importing personal injury inflicted by the accused, resulting in death or serious injury to the person, the accused may be lawfully convicted of the aggravation that the assault or other injurious act was committed with intent to commit such crime. In an indictment or a complaint charging the resetting of property dishonestly appropriated— having been taken by theft or robbery; or by breach of trust, embezzlement or falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, it shall be sufficient to specify that the accused received the property, it having been dishonestly appropriated by theft or robbery, or by breach of trust and embezzlement, or by falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, as the case may be. Under an indictment or a complaint for robbery, theft, breach of trust and embezzlement or falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, an accused may be convicted of reset. Under an indictment or a complaint for robbery, breach of trust and embezzlement, or falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, an accused may be convicted of theft. Under an indictment or a complaint for breach of trust and embezzlement, an accused may be convicted of falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition. Under an indictment or a complaint for falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, an accused may be convicted of breach of trust and embezzlement. Under an indictment or a complaint for theft, an accused may be convicted of breach of trust and embezzlement, or of falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition, or may be convicted of theft, although the circumstances proved may in law amount to robbery. The power conferred by sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) above to convict a person of an offence other than that with which he is charged shall be exercisable by the sheriff court before which he is tried notwithstanding that the other offence was committed outside the jurisdiction of that sheriff court. Where two or more crimes or acts of crime are charged cumulatively, it shall be lawful to convict of any one or more of them. Any part of the charge in an indictment or complaint which itself constitutes an indictable offence or, as the case may be an offence punishable on complaint, shall be separable and it shall be lawful to convict the accused of that offence. Where any crime is charged as having been committed with a particular intent or with particular circumstances of aggravation, it shall be lawful to convict of the crime without such intent or aggravation. Under an indictment or, as the case may be, a complaint which charges a completed offence, the accused may be lawfully convicted of an attempt to commit the offence. Under an indictment or complaint charging an attempt, the accused may be convicted of such attempt although the evidence is sufficient to prove the completion of the offence said to have been attempted. Under an indictment or complaint which charges an offence involving personal injury inflicted by the accused, resulting in death or serious injury to the person, the accused may be lawfully convicted of the assault or other injurious act, and may also be lawfully convicted of the aggravation that the assault or other injurious act was committed with intent to commit such offence. In an indictment or complaint charging a contravention of an enactment the description of the offence in the words of the enactment contravened, or in similar words, shall be sufficient. In a complaint charging a contravention of an enactment— the statement that an act was done contrary to a enactment shall imply a statement— that the enactment applied to the circumstances existing at the time and place of the offence; that the accused was a person bound to observe the enactment; that any necessary preliminary procedure had been duly gone through; and that all the circumstances necessary to a contravention existed, and, in the case of the contravention of a subordinate instrument, such statement shall imply a statement that the instrument was duly made, confirmed, published and generally made effectual according to the law applicable, and was in force at the time and place in question; and where the offence is created by more than one section of one or more statutes or subordinate instruments, it shall be necessary to specify only the leading section or one of the leading sections. In the case of an offence punishable under any enactment, it shall be sufficient to allege that the offence was committed contrary to the enactment and to refer to the enactment founded on without setting out the words of the enactment at length. any act alleged in an indictment or complaint as contrary to any enactment is also criminal at common law; or where the facts proved under the indictment or complaint do not amount to a contravention of the enactment, but do amount to an offence at common law, it shall be lawful to convict of the common law offence. Where the evidence in a trial is sufficient to prove the identity of any person, corporation or company, or of any place, or of anything, it shall not be a valid objection to the sufficiency of the evidence that any particulars specified in the indictment or complaint relating to such identity have not been proved. Where, in relation to an offence created by or under an enactment any exception, exemption, proviso, excuse, or qualification, is expressed to have effect whether by the same or any other enactment, the exception, exemption, proviso, excuse or qualification need not be specified or negatived in the indictment or complaint, and the prosecution is not required to prove it, but the accused may do so. It shall be competent to include in one indictment or complaint both common law and statutory charges. In any proceedings under the Merchant Shipping Acts it shall not be necessary to produce the official register of the ship referred to in the proceedings in order to prove the nationality of the ship, but the nationality of the ship as stated in the indictment or, as the case may be, complaint shall, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, be presumed. In offences inferring dishonest appropriation of property brought before a court whose power to deal with such offences is limited to cases in which the value of such property does not exceed level 4 on the standard scale it shall be assumed, and it shall not be necessary to state in the charge, that the value of the property does not exceed that sum. In this Schedule “supervision and treatment order” means an order requiring the person in respect of whom it is made (“the supervised person”)— to be under the supervision of a social worker who is an officer of the local authority for the area where the supervised person resides or is to reside (in this Schedule referred to as “the supervising officer”) for such period, not being more than three years, as is specified in the order; to comply during that period with instructions given to him by the supervising officer regarding his supervision; and to submit during that period to treatment by or under the direction of a medical practitioner with a view to the improvement of his mental condition. The Secretary of State may by order amend sub-paragraph (1) above by substituting, for the period for the time being specified in that sub-paragraph, such period as may be specified in the order. An order under sub-paragraph (2) above may make any amendment to paragraph 8(2) below which the Secretary of State considers necessary in consequence of the order. The power of the Secretary of State to make orders under sub-paragraph (2) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The court shall not make a supervision and treatment order unless it is satisfied— that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the making of such an order is the most suitable means of dealing with the person; and on the written or oral evidence of two or more approved medical practitioners , that the mental condition of the person— is such as requires and may be susceptible to treatment; but is not such as to warrant the making of an order under paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section 57 of this Act (whether with or without an order under paragraph (b) of that subsection) or an order under paragraph (c) of that subsection. The court shall not make a supervision and treatment order unless it is also satisfied— that the supervising officer intended to be specified in the order is willing to undertake the supervision; and that arrangements have been made for the treatment intended to be specified in the order. Subsections (3) to (5) of section 61 of this Act shall have effect with respect to proof of a person’s mental condition for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above as they have effect with respect to proof of an offender’s mental condition for the purposes of section 58(1)(a) of this Act. In this Schedule “approved medical practitioner” has the meaning given by section 22(4) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13). A supervision and treatment order shall specify the local authority area in which the supervised person resides or will reside. Before making such an order, the court shall explain to the supervised person in ordinary language— the effect of the order (including any requirements proposed to be included in the order in accordance with paragraph 5 below); and that the sheriff court for the area in which the supervised person resides or will reside (in this Schedule referred to as “the relevant sheriff court”) has power under paragraphs 6 to 8 below to review the order on the application either of the supervised person or of the supervising officer. After making such an order, the court shall forthwith give a copy of the order to— the supervised person; the supervising officer; the medical practitioner by whom or under whose supervision the supervised person is to be treated under the order; and the person in charge of any institution in which the supervised person is required by the order to reside. After making such an order, the court shall also send to the relevant sheriff court— a copy of the order; and such documents and information relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to that court in the exercise of its functions in relation to the order. Where such an order is made, the supervised person shall comply with such instructions as he may from time to time be given by the supervising officer regarding his supervision and shall keep in touch with that officer and notify him of any change of address. A supervision and treatment order shall include a requirement that the supervised person shall submit, during the period specified in the order, to treatment by or under the direction of a medical practitioner with a view to the improvement of his mental condition. The treatment required by the order shall be such one of the following kinds of treatment as may be specified in the order, that is to say— treatment as a non-resident patient at such institution or place as may be specified in the order; and treatment by or under the direction of such medical practitioner as may be so specified; Where the medical practitioner by whom or under whose direction the supervised person is being treated for his mental condition in pursuance of a supervision and treatment order is of the opinion that part of the treatment can be better or more conveniently given at an institution or place which— is not specified in the order; and is one at which the treatment of the supervised person will be given by or under the direction of a medical practitioner, he may, with the consent of the supervised person, make arrangements for him to be treated accordingly. Where any such arrangements as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) above are made for the treatment of a supervised person— the medical practitioner by whom the arrangements are made shall give notice in writing to the supervising officer, specifying the institution or place at which the treatment is to be carried out; and the treatment provided for by the arrangements shall be deemed to be treatment to which he is required to submit in pursuance of the supervision and treatment order. Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) below, a supervision and treatment order may include requirements as to the residence of the supervised person. Such an order may not require the supervised person to reside as a resident patient in a hospital. Before making such an order containing any such requirement, the court shall consider the home surroundings of the supervised person. Where such an order requires the supervised person to reside in any institution, the period for which he is so required to reside shall be specified in the order. Where a supervision and treatment order is in force in respect of any person and, on the application of the supervised person or the supervising officer, it appears to the relevant sheriff court that, having regard to circumstances which have arisen since the order was made, it would be in the interests of the health or welfare of the supervised person that the order should be revoked, the court may revoke the order. This paragraph applies where, at any time while a supervision and treatment order is in force in respect of any person, the relevant sheriff court is satisfied that— the supervised person proposes to change, or has changed, his residence from the area specified in the order to the area of another local authority; a social worker who is an officer of the other local authority (“the new supervising officer”) is willing to undertake the supervision; and the requirements of the order as respects treatment will continue to be complied with. Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below the court may, and on the application of the supervising officer shall, amend the supervision and treatment order by substituting the other area for the area specified in the order and the new supervising officer for the supervising officer specified in the order. Where a supervision and treatment order contains requirements which, in the opinion of the court, can be complied with only if the supervised person continues to reside in the area specified in the order, the court shall not amend the order under this paragraph unless it also, in accordance with paragraph 8 below, either— cancels those requirements; or substitutes for those requirements other requirements which can be complied with if the supervised person ceases to reside in that area. Without prejudice to paragraph 7 above, but subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, the relevant sheriff court may, on the application of the supervised person or the supervising officer, by order amend a supervision and treatment order— by cancelling any of the requirements of the order; or by inserting in the order (either in addition to or in substitution for any such requirement) any requirement which the court could include if it were the court by which the order was made and were then making it. The power of the court under sub-paragraph (1) above shall not include power to amend an order by extending the period specified in it beyond the end of three years from the date of the original order. Where the medical practitioner by whom or under whose direction the supervised person is being treated for his mental condition in pursuance of any requirement of a supervision and treatment order— is of the opinion mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) below; or is for any reason unwilling to continue to treat or direct the treatment of the supervised person, he shall make a report in writing to that effect to the supervising officer and that officer shall apply under paragraph 8 above to the relevant sheriff court for the variation or cancellation of the requirement. The opinion referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is— that the treatment of the supervised person should be continued beyond the period specified in the supervision and treatment order; that the supervised person needs different treatment, being treatment of a kind to which he could be required to submit in pursuance of such an order; that the supervised person is not susceptible to treatment; or that the supervised person does not require further treatment.

On the making under paragraph 6 above of an order revoking a supervision and treatment order, the sheriff clerk shall forthwith give a copy of the revoking order to the supervising officer and to the medical practitioner by whom or under whose supervision the supervised person was treated under the supervision and treatment order. On receipt of a copy of the revoking order the supervising officer shall give a copy to the supervised person and to the person in charge of any institution in which the supervised person was required by the order to reside. On the making under paragraph 7 or 8 above of an order amending a supervision and treatment order, the sheriff clerk shall forthwith— if the order amends the supervision and treatment order otherwise than by substituting a new area or a new place for the one specified in that order, give a copy of the amending order to the supervising officer and to the medical practitioner by whom or under whose supervision the supervised person has been treated under the supervision and treatment order; if the order amends the supervision and treatment order in the manner excepted by paragraph (a) above, send to the new relevant sheriff court— a copy of the amending order; and such documents and information relating to the case as he considers likely to be of assistance to that court in exercising its functions in relation to the order; and in a case falling within paragraph (b) above, the sheriff clerk shall give a copy of the amending order to the supervising officer. On receipt of a copy of an amending order the supervising officer shall give a copy to the supervised person and to the person in charge of any institution in which the supervised person is or was required by the order to reside. On the making, revocation or amendment of a supervision and treatment order the supervising officer shall give a copy of the order or, as the case may be, of the order revoking or amending it, to the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland.

For the purposes of any criminal proceedings a copy of, or of a material part of, a document, purporting to be authenticated in such manner and by such person as may be prescribed, shall unless the court otherwise directs, be— deemed a true copy; and treated for evidential purposes as if it were the document, or the material part, itself, whether or not the document is still in existence. For the purposes of this paragraph it is immaterial how many removes there are between a copy and the original. In this paragraph “copy” includes a transcript or reproduction. Except where it is a statement such as is mentioned in paragraph 3(b) and (c) below, a statement in a document shall be admissible in criminal proceedings as evidence of any fact or opinion of which direct oral evidence would be admissible, if the following conditions are satisfied— the document was created or received in the course of, or for the purposes of, a business or undertaking or in pursuance of the functions of the holder of a paid or unpaid office; the document is, or at any time was, kept by a business or undertaking or by or on behalf of the holder of such an office; and the statement was made on the basis of information supplied by a person (whether or not the maker of the statement) who had, or may reasonably be supposed to have had, personal knowledge of the matters dealt with in it. Sub-paragraph (1) above applies whether the information contained in the statement was supplied directly or indirectly unless, in the case of information supplied indirectly, it appears to the court that any person through whom it was so supplied did not both receive and supply it in the course of a business or undertaking or as or on behalf of the holder of a paid or unpaid office. Where in any proceedings a statement is admitted as evidence by virtue of this paragraph— any evidence which, if— the maker of the statement; or where the statement was made on the basis of information supplied by another person, such supplier, had been called as a witness, would have been admissible as relevant to the witness’s credibility shall be so admissible in those proceedings; evidence may be given of any matter which, if the maker or as the case may be the supplier had been called as a witness, could have been put to him in cross-examination as relevant to his credibility but of which evidence could not have been adduced by the cross-examining party; and evidence tending to prove that the maker or as the case may be the supplier, whether before or after making the statement or supplying the information on the basis of which the statement was made, made (in whatever manner) some other representation which is inconsistent with the statement shall be admissible for the purpose of showing that he has contradicted himself. In sub-paragraph (3)(c) above, “representation” does not include a representation in a precognition. A statement in a document shall be admissible in criminal proceedings as evidence of the fact that the statement was made if— the document satisfies the conditions mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) and (b) of paragraph 2 above; the statement is made, whether directly or indirectly, by a person who in those proceedings is an accused; and the statement, being exculpatory only, exculpates the accused. Unless the court otherwise directs, a document may in any criminal proceedings be taken to be a document kept by a business or undertaking or by or on behalf of the holder of a paid or unpaid office if it is certified as such by a docquet in the prescribed form and purporting to be authenticated, in such manner as may be prescribed— by a person authorised to authenticate such a docquet on behalf of the business or undertaking by which; or by, or by a person authorised to authenticate such a docquet on behalf of, the office-holder by whom, the document was kept. In any criminal proceedings, the evidence of an authorised person that— a document which satisfies the conditions mentioned in paragraph 2(1)(a) and (b) above does not contain a relevant statement as to a particular matter; or no document, within a category of documents satisfying those conditions, contains such a statement, shall be admissible evidence whether or not the whole or any part of that document or of the documents within that category and satisfying those conditions has been produced in the proceedings. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, a relevant statement is a statement which is of the kind mentioned in paragraph 2(1)(c) above and which, in the ordinary course of events— the document; or a document within the category and satisfying the conditions mentioned in that sub-paragraph, might reasonably have been expected to contain. The evidence referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above may, unless the court otherwise directs, be given by means of a certificate by the authorised person in the prescribed form and purporting to be authenticated in such manner as may be prescribed. In this paragraph, “authorised person” means a person authorised to give evidence— on behalf of the business or undertaking by which; or as or on behalf of the office-holder by or on behalf of whom, the document is or was kept. This sub-paragraph applies where— evidence has been admitted by virtue of paragraph 2(3) above; or the court has made a direction under paragraph 1(1), 4 or 5(3) above. Where sub-paragraph (1) above applies the judge may, without prejudice to sections 268 and 269 of this Act— in solemn proceedings, on a motion of the prosecutor or defence at any time before the commencement of the speeches to the jury; in summary proceedings, on such a motion at any time before the prosecutor proceeds to address the judge on the evidence, permit him to lead additional evidence of such description as the judge may specify. Subsections (3) and (4) of section 268 of this Act shall apply in relation to sub-paragraph (2) above as they apply in relation to subsection (1) of that section. Nothing in this Schedule— shall prejudice the admissibility of a statement made by a person other than in the course of giving oral evidence in court which is admissible otherwise than by virtue of this Schedule; shall affect the operation of the Bankers’ Books Evidence Act 1879; shall apply to— proceedings commenced; or where the proceedings consist of an application to the sheriff by virtue of section 42(2)(c) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968, an application made, before this Schedule comes into force.

This paragraph applies where the court— imposes a community payback order by virtue of paragraph 1, or varies a community payback order by virtue of paragraph 2. The court must, in the order— specify the relevant area in which the offender resides or will reside, specify, in relation to each requirement imposed by the order, the requirement of the corresponding order which the court considers to be the same as or broadly similar to those imposed by the community payback order, where— the order imposes a restricted movement requirement, and a corresponding order imposing the same or broadly similar requirement would also impose an electronic monitoring requirement, specify in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) the person responsible for monitoring compliance with the restricted movement requirement.

This paragraph applies where the court has— imposed a community payback order by virtue of paragraph 1, or varied a community payback order by virtue of paragraph 2.

The order has effect in England and Wales as if it were a corresponding order made by a court in that jurisdiction. The home court may exercise in relation to the order any power under the legislation relating to the corresponding order that the home court could exercise, other than— a power to discharge or revoke the order (other than in circumstances where the offender is convicted of a further offence and the court imposes a custodial sentence), a power to deal with the offender in respect of the offence in relation to which the order was imposed as the offender could have been dealt with had the order not been imposed, where the order imposes an unpaid work or other activity requirement, a power to vary the order by substituting for the number of hours of work specified in it a greater number than the court which imposed the order could have specified, where the order imposed a restricted movement requirement, a power to vary the order by substituting for the period specified in it a longer period than the court which imposed it could have specified. Sub-paragraph (5) applies where it appears to the home court— on information from the responsible officer, that the offender has failed to comply with any of the requirements of the order, or on the application of the offender or the responsible officer, that it would be in the interests of justice to— discharge the order, or revoke the order and deal with the offender as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b). The home court may— refer the matter to the appropriate Scottish court, and require the offender to appear before that court. Where the matter is referred under sub-paragraph (5) to the appropriate Scottish court, that court may— if the offender fails to appear as required under sub-paragraph (5)(b), issue a warrant for the offender’s arrest, and deal with the matter— where it is referred by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)(a), in accordance with section 227ZC of this Act, or where it is referred by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)(b), as if it were an application under section 227Y of this Act to vary, revoke or discharge the order. Where the matter is referred by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)(a), the home court must also send to the appropriate Scottish court— a certificate signed by the clerk of the home court certifying that the offender has failed to comply with such requirements of the order as are specified in the certificate, and such other documents and information relating to the case as may be useful. The certificate mentioned in sub-paragraph (7)(a) is, for the purposes of any proceedings before the appropriate Scottish court, sufficient evidence of the failure mentioned in the certificate. Where, in dealing with the matter by virtue of sub-paragraph (6)(b), the appropriate Scottish court is considering varying the order (or has varied the order) the provisions of this Part apply in relation to the proposed variation (or the order as varied) as they apply where the court is considering imposing a community payback order (or has imposed a community payback order) by virtue of paragraph 1.
