About this statute

This part of the Act sets rules for serving foreign process, getting evidence from abroad, freezing evidence, and obtaining customer/account information through court orders. This provision lets authorities seek bank-account information and related assistance, and it creates offences for unlawful disclosure and for failing to hand over a licence after a disqualification notice. This part gives the Secretary of State and other authorities powers and duties about Northern Ireland licences, regulations, disclosure of information, surveillance, counterfeit offences, and commencement of the Act. This provision sets out how overseas freezing orders can be certified, sent, considered, and enforced by UK courts and the Secretary of State. This text is mostly amendment history and version notes, including that this version extends to Scotland only.
